A Swiss resident from Slantar in Sumatra reports capturing a young wild elephant. The animal was roped and loaded onto a platform on a motor car. As the car moved, the elephant使用 its trunk to inspect the chauffeur and controls, nearly overturning the vehicle before being strapped to the platform and delivered safely to Slantar. This may be the first wild elephant to ride a motor car.
