Hartford Fire Worst In Circus History Many Severe Blows Weathered By Show By United Pres* The fire st Hartford. Conn., was the worst blow in history to th- biggest show on ourth, but it has been over, and recovered from, rough bumps before. In 1941, toward the aeaaou's end the elephant herd became ill oue iry one. and as veterinarians worked feverishly to determine what ailed them the first big pachyderm turned up hi* hooves and died. The circus went from town to town and more and more ele. phant* became sick until lu had died. The vets suspected arsenic poisoning and called police who finally tracked down the culprit, a former employ,- seeking revenge Ix-cause he had been tired. Tho following year tragedy again struck the menagerie. Fire broke out In a subsidiary tent In Cleveland destroying vain able camels, Sebras, lions, tiger* and other animals. Merciful police gunfire ended the live* of many badly burned animal*. Once the big show failed to go on—in 1938 when a strike by workers closed the flap* on the big tent at Scranton, Pa.
