Elephant Helps Rescue Circus Truck on Steep Washington Hill
Autoists witness a Mills Brothers circus wagon train halt on a steep WA hill when an elephant named Jennie, aged 65, towed a broken tractor trailer loaded with two elephants, including a 15 year old performer, up the incline. The Mills Brothers claim to be the largest US circus with about 400 on crew and four elephants, touring six days a week with a 5000 seat tent.
