Nero the Elephant's odd escapade and a farmer's scare
A San Francisco Examiner reporter recalls a veteran showman recounting an elephant Nero's antics during a wagon pull in Rhode Island. The tale details Nero tripping a farmer’s ox team, goring with his trunk, and the driver surviving a close call as the elephant calmed. The anecdote reflects views on elephant behavior, training, and the perils of circus life.
