Enraged Circus Elephant
Charges Spectator Stands,
Injuring Eleven Persons
WAXAHACHIE, Texas, UP> —
Eleven persons were injured
when a female elephant, ap
parently enraged because her
baby had been taken from her
recently, smashed into a specta
tor-tilled stand during a circus
performance here Friday night.
The nine elephants of Miller
Brothers Circus had completed
the opening parade in the arena
and had left the tent a few min
utes before. The spotlights were
on the aerial acrobats when, above
the l'ow of the band drums, the
trumpeting of the enraged ele
phant was heard from the outside.
The animal, which the police
said was “as big as a bull,”
careened against the tent and
then smashed through the canvas.
Her trunk and head knocked
down about four rows of seats.
It was believed none of the
spectators was actually hit by the
elephant but that they were in
jured when they jumped or ran
to avoid being struck.
Dr. Otto John, Double
Turncoat, Loses Another
Round to Free Himself
KARLSRUHE, Germany, —
Otto John, the double turncoat,
lost another round Saturday in I
his fight to free himself of treason
charges.
The West German Supreme
Court refused to upset an arrest
order against the 47-year-old for
mer West German intelligence
chief.
The effect of the ruling was
that John was sent back to pri
son with little likelihood that he
will escape trial on suspicion of
treason charges, probably in the
summer.
John has been in jail at Mann
heim since Dec. 23, 1955. He had
slipped across the iron curtain
into East Germany on July 20,
1954. He told reporters he went
over to the Reds to work for peace
and against a revival of Nazi
militarism. But he came back
Dec. 12, 1955, with an account of
how he had been drugged and
taken unconscious into East Ber
lin.

Mt. Trident Erupts
As It Is ^Buzzed’ By
T-33 Jet Trainer
ANCHORAGE, Of) — As though
wakened by the noise, a sleeping
volcanic peak belched a tremen
dous cloud of smoke and cinders
Friday just as it was being buzzed
by two curious Air Force jet
pilots.
The startled and thoroughly
shaken up pilots, who buzzed out
of danger at a 300-mile-an-hour
clip, were Capt. Lloyd Kelly and
Lt. Harry Krebbs, both of Elmen
dorf Air Force Base.
Neither they nor their T33 jet
trainer plane was damaged by the
incident which occurred over
what is believed to have been
j Mt. Trident in Alaska’s famed
I Valley of 10,000 Smokes, 300 miles
southwest of here.
But, said Kelly, the pilot, “it
was the oddest sensation I ever
had.”
“We were low at about 10,000
feet on a flight back from King
Salmon to Elmendorf, hoping to
get glimpse of Mt. Katmai,” a
volcano which periodically litters
j the landscape with ashes.
"About five miles southwest of
' Katmai, we started to pass a peak
| with an open crater at the top.
j We even dipped our wing to look
in. Then it happened.”
Kelly said the volcano blew up
in a great cloud of smoke and
cinder. Their speed carried them
past the eruption in a few sec
I onds. Kelly said he did not know
the name of the peak but the lo
cation given indicated it was Mt.
Trident, a semi-active but cur
rently sleeping volcano.
The Bermuda islands are prac
tically all coral.
