Big Jerry Elk Shot For Barbecue At Columbia Gardens
Bert Poore, exalted ruler of the Butte Elks, and Walter Carns presided as the elk Jerry died yesterday. The first elk kept in captivity at Columbia gardens, captured near Henry's lake as a fawn, was shot to serve as the centerpiece for an Ellis barbecue on New Year’s Eve. Jerry, one year old, had shown aggression lately and was deemed a risk to others, making the firing squad decision necessary. Two cow elk were earmarked for Gregson Springs, where Hugh Daly will tend an acre reserve.
