Virginia elephant hunt ends with lasso capture in cornfield
Pawnee Bill and crew chase two runaway elephants through Leesburg and Baileys Corners then trap one by Mexican Joe using a lariat. The captured beast is led through Alexandria to Luna Park as spectators cheer and a second elephant remains at large. The hunt, a high point of Virginia’s cowboy show season, ends with the captured elephant marching home while the other eludes recapture for now.
