Big Beast Causes Chaos           By: Sydney Kerr                      Wednesday at 12 noon, the 20 foot elephant Gia ran through the bazaars of Moulmein, lower Burma after she escaped from the care of her mahout, Jake Minor. This wild elephant was suspected to have escaped early morning around 4 o’ clock.
She was first spotted when she ran through the bazaars, demolished a bamboo hut, stormed fruit stalls, devoured the stock, and murdered a cow. The inhabitants of the town alerted constable, Eric Blair to come diffuse the situation and attempt to tame the elephant. He arrived at the scene roughly 30 minutes prior to being contacted. Witnesses say that the elephant murdered a coolie of the community, Tim Johnstin. The man was found dead a couple blocks from where the elephant was present. Eric Blair brought the animal down slowly by firing a round of shots at the gigantic elephant. After a few rounds, she slowly died. That concludes the big beast in Burma.
