Movie Cowboy, Hindu Calm
Stampeding Elephant Herd
By CAL BRUMLEY
GONZALES) Tex,—tan—A sing
ing cowboy riding a stallion and
a tiny Hindu mounted on the small
est elephant in captivity quieted a
frantic elephant herd stampeding
across Texafj hill country Jnear
here.
That’s right — stampeding ele
phants in Texas—cow country.
The elephaihts stampeded while
being filmed in a movie jungle
scene.
It was like the old cattle stam
pedes—when g A herd could be sent
thundering by a few pistol shots.
Pistol shots—blank ones—started
the elephant scramble here yester
day. They were part of a herd of
2& belonging to Daily Brothers
Circus, in Winter quarters here.
Cowboys and handlers hazed the
elephants by Jack Orr’s newsreel
camera once. Orr, from Dallas,
Tex., said the fake stampede- was
unrealistic, j I /
Circus owner Ben Davenport
told his cowboys to fire some
hlagfrs. , .1 I
/ Dudley Aqtry, brother of screen
cowboy Gene Autry, and Chuck
Carson, Hollywood stunt man,
obliged. Both are circus perform
ers.
The elephants were frightened
into a real stampede. The moun
tainous beasts shook the Texas
prairie sod.' The porch from one
house was brushed aside. Sections
of fence were laid flat.
Cameraman Orr had to run for
safety. "I haven’t seen Orr since
he got out-of the way,” Daven-i
port said. "But we found part of
his trouser* he lost getting away."
Handlers -fled.
But not Autry and the littU* Hin
du, Singh, from India,
"Autry picked up Singh <m the
horse and rode into the herd," Da
venport said.
"Hingh fbund Butch—thalj’s the
smallest i>n|y olophuht in eu()tlviLy
— and hopiied astraddle his neck.
Butch, 2Mi' years old. ami Hlngii
managed ujj mill the baby eleph
ants."
Davenport explained that the ba
by elephimtH could not keep up
with their f larger relatives.
.♦■■Maaa.j——in I .4 i... fn, | •■-
ONE MAN PYRAMID CLUB
Autry spurged to the head of
the running elephants. Shouting
and waving his hat, he started the
herd milling. Others joined higi
and kept the animals circling
“just outside the city limits" of
Gonzales, -the circus owner said.
“They ran four or five miles.”
Davenport estimated a crowd of
2,000 gathered at a distance to
watch the milling herd. “The best
thing is that nobody was hurt se
riously,” he said. , “The animals
stopped just short of/ a school
house.” '
Two circus men were shaken up,
Rex Williams, 20, former, marine,
was knocked down and cut slight
ly. Raymond Freivogal, 30, utility
man, stumbled and fell between,
some logs. He was bruised, but the
logs—part of the scenery—saved
hrs life.
Orr and Davenport had draped
a wooded ravine with scenery to
imitate a jungle. The camera was
set up near some llogs which the
elephants had to jump over.
The camera, set, automatically,
photographed most of the stam
pede. It was finally buried by the
charging beasts. But the film was
uninjured.
