ELEPHANTS AT LARGE.
BREAK CHAINS AND RUN AMOK. MELBOURNE SENSATION. By Telegraph-Press Association— Copyright. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received November 16, 10.25 a.m.) MELBOURNE, November 16. Excitement was caused in Port Melbourne early this morning through four elephants breaking their chains at a circus and running amok. After smashing a shed, a buggy and a galvanised iron fence one broke bounds and entered a garden in the rear of a house in Crockford Street, and smashed a fence and destroyed trees, but on the arrival of a trainer it returned quietly to the circus. One attendant was sent to hospital, being injured by a flying tree trunk.
