Originally Yeomanry Regiments were only required to serve in their respective counties or any adjoining County but in 1900 the terms of service were altered to permit them to volunteer for full time overseas service in time of War. Two Squadrons of the Warwickshire Yeomanry volunteered for service in the Boer War and served as Imperial Yeomanry in South Africa with considerable success. The Imperial Yeomanry comprised mainly of one volunteer Squadron from each Yeomanry Regiment and these were grouped into battalions. The Warwickshire Yeomanry Squadron became 5th Company, 2nd Battalion Imperial Yeomanry consisting of five Officers and 116 Ors and sailed for South Africa on the 1st February 1900. There was a second contingent of Warwickshire Imperial Yeomanry of 146 men sent to South Africa to replace losses through illness, wounds and death. In May of that 1901 they received orders to return home; returning to a rapturous welcome on the Warwick Market Square.

Fatally Crushed.

Under the above heading, the Great Falls (Montana) Daily Tribune, of November 11, gives the following particulars of the accidental death of Richard E. Perkins, notice of which appeared in the ENTERPRISE last week:

R. E. Perkins, employed as an assistant hostler at the Montana Central round house on the West side, was the victim of an accident at an early hour yesterday morning which resulted in his death about an hour later. He was caught between a locomotive, which he was boarding as it was being taken from the round house, and the wall of the building, and was crushed. His right arm was broken,  his thighs were crushed and he was internally injured. His lower limbs were paralyzed. He retained consciousness until his death, though suffering terrible agonies. "The accident occurred about 2:40 o'clock yesterday morning as engine No. 908, a monster piece of machinery, was being taken from the round house to the coal chute, preparatory to being taken across the river to be attached to eastbound train No. 24. The engine was in charge of Charles Rieben, the engine hostler, and had started to back out of its stall when Perkins mounted it on the step close to the tender. He had his right hand on the hand rail to draw himself into the cab, when the engine reached the wall. "The night was dark, and Perkins failed to notice that there was but little room between it and the engine. With terrific power, though proceeding slowly, the engine approached the wall, and Perkins was caught between it and the woodwork of the cab. As the engine continued to back out the unfortunate man was rolled between it and the engine and crushed unmercifully. As the engine left the wall Perkins fell to the ground writhing in agony. "The attention of the man in charge of the machine was attracted to the accident by hearing Perkins' lantern fall and smash, and simultaneously he heard a cry as of some one in great pain. Rieben immediately brought the engine to a stop, and, alighting, found his comrade on the ground. Perkins told him that he was badly hurt and asked to be taken to the office, out of the cold. He was at once removed and a hack was sent for in which to remove him to the hospital. On the arrival of the hack he was placed on it, but before it had proceeded very far he was dead. "The body was removed to McAllister's undertaking rooms, where it was found that many of the bones of the upper portion of the body, as well as the pelvic bones and thighs, had been crushed, and that internal hemorrhage ensued, causing death. Coroner Sweeny was notified at once, and about 9 o'clock impaneled a jury to make an investigation. "The inquest was held last evening, but no new evidence concerning the facts of the accident developed. The jury rendered a verdict of accidental death. Perkins had been employed at the round house about two weeks, and it is probable that he had nit yet become thoroughly acquainted with the surroundings of the place of his employment, and that he was not aware of the terrible and dangerous position in which he was liable to place himself while on duty at the round house. "The young man was 26 years of age, and was married. He resided with his wife at 304 Seventh street south. Aside from his wife he had no relatives in the city or State except a brother-in-law, C. M. Williams, of Helena, superintendent of Helena Light & Traction Company. His father resides at Selma, Randolph county, Indiana, and it is probable that the body will be shipped to that place for interment. Final arrangements, however, have not yet been made for the funeral."

ELEPHANT KILLS HIS NEW KEEPER

Charles Bartlow Thrown in Air and Body Beaten to Pulp

Charles Bartlow, assistant elephant keeper, killed by elephant at Ingersoll Park, Des Moines, IA, winter quarters of Yankee Robinson Circus. Had been with the circus for five years. Coroners inquest into his death determined that his real name was Frank Bartlow. Born 1858 in Oskaloosa. He had an FB tattoo on his left arm and had visited his cousin in Oskaloosa in 1904, on his way to join the Yankee Robinson Circus. She (the cousin) was a witness at the inquest and had pictures that were nearly identical to ones in Frank's possession.

ELEPHANT KILLS DES MOINES MAN

CIRCUS BEAST BEATS ATTENDANT TO PULP BEFORE HELP IS MUSTERED.

Des Moines, April 9. - Becoming enraged by the continued absence of his regular keeper, "Tom," the mammoth elephant in the Yankee Robinson circus, in winter quarters here, yesterday afternoon picked up his attendant, Charles Bartlow, hurled him into the air and then beat his body into pulp against a barn. After inflicting fatal injuries to his keeper, the big brute ran through Ingersoll park, uprooted half a dozen small trees, turned over three circus wagons, tore the roof from his barn, and demolished the rustic bridge across the park lake.

Dozens of Bullets Fail to Subdue.

For nearly an hour forty men labored to capture the enraged animal. Forty bullets were sent into his side and one into his right eye, as he was finally taken when he stepped into a chain noose. Heavy ropes quickly were fastened to his legs, and he was tied to trees in a corner of the park. After returning to the park from town Bartlow went to the elephant barns in the east end of the park and led the animals to water on the edge of the lake. After watering Little Tom and Queen and chaining them in their stalls, the keeper walked to the water's edge with the older elephant. A  "Tom" stood near the lake at the side of his attendant he turned his trunk upward, trumpeted and then shoved Bartlow into the lake. After this the elephant ran to the northeast corner of the ground. Bartlow dragged himself out of the lake, and, picking up a pitchfork, said to Arthur Eldredge, head hostler: "I'll trim that d--- beast." "He's mad," answered Eldredge. "Leave him alone, or you'll get killed." But Bartlow rushed toward the elephant with the pitchfork before him. "Tom" grasped the fork, jerked it from his keeper's hand, and sent the man into the air with his five foot tusks. When Bartlow fell at the elephant's feet the maddened animal picked him up, walked into the barn, and beat him against the side of the structure until two boards were shattered.

This Attendant His First Victim.

Bartlow crawled through the barn door with the elephant following him. But at that instant Eldridge came around the corner and shouted for help. When forty of the employes appeared "Tom" began to run along the fence from the north to the south sides of the park. Bartlow died ten minutes later. "Tom" who is one of the biggest elephants in captivity, was known as an exceptionally gentle beast, and Bartlow was his first victim. For the last week, however, the elephant has been causing trouble and the animal men with the circus attribute it to a desire for the return of his old keeper, John Boldman, from whom he had been separated two months.

TO INVESTIGATE INGERSOLL PARK

Hamery Fears Fences Are Not Strong Enough to Protect Residents.

ELEPHANT HAS TAKEN SIX LIVES

Slayer of Chas. Bartlow is One of Most Famous Man-Killing Brutes.

Supt. J. L. Hamery of the department of public safety of Des Moines, had a vision this morning in which he saw portrayed in all the vivid colors of imagination Big Tom, the man-killing elephant, charging down Walnut street in a fury of rage, spreading death broadcast amid the congested populace. With the infuriated elephant were lions, tigers, cougars and scampering monkeys. This afternoon Mr. Hamery, jarred by the possibilities set forth in his vision, will take Chief of Police Miller and others of his staff and make a personal visit of inspection to Ingersoll park. Mr. Hamery wants to know that it is impossible for Big Tom and the lions and tigers to get out of the park. A report has come in today that the park high fence is unsafe. Information also reached Mr. Hamery that Big Tom has taken, in all, no less than six human lives; that he is the biggest elephant in America, and the most famous man-killer. The report was given out yesterday at Ingersoll Park as gospel truth that Big Tm had never taken human life until Friday, when he killed Charles Bartlow, his temporary keeper, for the crime of prodding with a sharp pointed hook. However, today Fred Buchanan admitted to a representative of The Tribune that Tom has killed six men.

Sticks Up for Tom.

Manager Buchanan stuck up for Tom, stating that in each individual case the keeper was under the influence of intoxicating liquor. It is a peculiar trait of Tom's, explained Buchanan, that he don't like liquor, and he will not stand abuse. In every instance he has killed his man in a similar manner to the killing of Bartlow here Friday. "Of course, my sympathies are with the dead man, not the brute who killed him; but even so, I am bound to admit that Bartlow used a cruel hook on Tom and was under the influence of liquor - sufficient, in the eyes of the old elephant, to merit death." Chief of Police Miller stated this morning that the people who reside in the neighborhood of Ingersoll park are frightened. "What if Big Tom had put his shoulder against that frail little high board fence and pushed it over when those forty par employes were trying to drive him into the snare where they thrashed him? He could have done it easily and then we would have had a crazy elephant with the smell of a man's life blood fresh in his nostrils, charging through the streets of the city. Ingersoll park, situated as it is in a swell portion of the city, where residences, school houses and even the streets are thronging with human life, makes a very dangerous place for the confinement of wild beasts of the jungle.

May Kill Him.

"I am of the opinion that the department of public safety has full authority to kill an elephant or any other animal which may escape from the park and run amuck." "How would you gone about killing Big Tom if he had got away from those forty men," was asked the chief. Miller scratched his head, thought a moment and then looked around at Hamery and Dr. Losh for suggestions. "How in thunder would you kill an elephant he gasped. We haven't a gun big enough in the place t kill him and we wouldn't have time to send for Teddy Roosevelt." "We might go over to the state house and take one of the old cannon," suggested Skinner, the patrol driver. "I guess we better go out this afternoon, chief, and see if that fence and those cages are really safe," suggested Hamery, so it was settled. "Better take a pocket full of sugar," grinned Skinner, the patrol driver. "They say Big Tom's powerful fond of sugar."

Whole Country Knows.

The Associated Press has flashed the story of Big Tom's killing over the entire country and Manager Buchanan this morning received telegrams from widely varying points. One was from Tiffany, the jeweler,, at New York, believing the elephant to be killed. That firm desires first chance on the ivory tusks, which are worth between $1,100 and $1,200. Tom's tusks are fifty-six inches long. From Cincinnati, O., came a wire desiring first bid on Tom's hide, valued at about $1,500. It is probably about one inch thick. Tom stands today nine feet four inches high and weighs 7,700 pounds. He is so tall that a man cannot reach his ear with an elephant hook. With regard to the man-killing features of Tom, Manager Buchanan reluctantly stated today: "I was in hopes the news of former killings would not get out. I repeat that Tom is a kind and affectionate animal, always obedient and docile except when ill. If his keeper stays sober, he is all right. I hate to do it, but the poor fellow from now on must forever be chained in a helpless position. It is his final punishment for murder. My blacksmiths are today forging chains especially for Tom. They are using one inch iron and welding powerful links in a chain which is to pass over his back, down under his forelegs and fasten to the tusks.  This will make it impossible for Tom to raise his head to toss a man. You understand it is a peculiarity of Tom's to always kill his  man by tossing him into the air. He does not know how to kill any other way.

A "Has Been."

"Another great hardship for Tom is going to be when he discovers that he is a "has been" in the circus. I fear it will break his heart. You know he has always been widely advertised and so much petted by the ladies and children that he has grown to expect it. Besides he was always proud of his achievements in the sawdust ring. To see the big ungainly fellow standing on his head in the sawdust with his clumsy hind feet kicking the air made the children shout with laughter; then Tom had a lot of other funny stunts. He loved to hear applause and used to grunt with approval when he got a lot of it. Now for the rest of his life he will be compelled to stand in the animal tent chained and hobbled to a big iron stake. He will not be taken into the ring, and can never again hear the children shout at his clever acting.  To stand off alone in another tent and hear the shouting at his rival's tricks will be hard on Tom. I expect that he will die before the summer is over with a broken heart." Should Mr. Hamery and his staff decide that Ingersoll park is improperly supplied with barricades between the people of Des Moines and the wild beasts of the jungle confined there immediate action will be taken to protect the populace.

Up to Jury.

If the coroner's jury in the Bartlow case, the victim of the big elephant who lies cold in death in the undertaking rooms, should decide that Tom is a vicious animal and dangerous to the safety and peace of the community it may recommend that he be shot. Should the jury so recommend it is doubtful what Big Tom's fate would be; he might not have time to die of a broken heart and Chief Miller might have to devise some means of killing him.

CROSSING THE OCEAN TO FIND HER FIANCE DEAD

Pretty Sicilian Maiden, a Snake Charmer, Engaged to Marry Charles Bartlow, the Dead Elephant Keeper, Upon Her Arrival in Des Moines.

Ignorant of the terrible fate which has befallen the man to whom she had given her heart and was about to give her hand, Miss Lovetta Rosanza, a swarthy skinned brown eyed daughter of Sicily, is far out in the middle of the Atlantic ocean on her way to this county. She expects to be married in two weeks to Charles Bartlow, the man who was killed by old Tom, one of the elephants of the Buchanan Brothers circus, last Thursday. Miss Rosanza is all unmindful of the fate which has come to her lover and thinks only of the beautiful realization of all her dreams for the past year which she thinks will come true when she arrives in Des Moines. But her lover is cold in grip of death and no wedding bells will sound for the pretty southern snake charmer and the animal trainer. Instead there will be a dirge, and sack cloth and ashes. That Bartlow and the snake charmer are engaged and had planned to be married as soon as she reached this city was stated by Fred Buchanan yesterday afternoon. Miss Rosanza is known about the show as "Babe" Page, a nick name given to her by the employes of the circus. She met Bartlow two years ago, when she was called to Des Moines by Mr. Buchanan to capture a boa constrictor which had escaped from the circus. The two became engaged last fall, according to Mr. Buchanan. Letters he has which the young woman wrote to Bartlow show that they had planned to be married as soon as she arrives in Des Moines from Sicily, where she had spent the past winter with her father and mother. Tom, the elephant, was completely exonerated by the coroner's jury yesterday for the killing of Bartlow. Bartlow's body will be taken to Oskaloosa for burial. Manager Fred Buchanan received a letter from Ida Washing of that place who claims that she is a cousin of Bartlow and that her mother will come to Des Moines to arrange for his burial. The letter also asks if there is any insurance and states that Bartlow carried a policy when he was at Oskaloosa the last time. Coroner Iver Newlen has called Mrs. Washing at Oskaloosa over the long distance phone and it is likely that arrangements for claiming the body will be made before evening.

Charles Bartlow, assistant elephant keeper, killed by elephant at Ingersoll Park, Des Moines, IA, winter quarters of Yankee Robinson Circus. Had been with the circus for five years. Coroners inquest into his death determined that his real name was Frank Bartlow. Born 1858 in Oskaloosa. He had an FB tattoo on his left arm and had visited his cousin in Oskaloosa in 1904, on his way to join the Yankee Robinson Circus. She (the cousin) was a witness at the inquest and had pictures that were nearly identical to ones in Frank's possession.

GRIM DEATH HALTS ALL PLANS FOR WEDDING

DES MOINES, April 16. -  Far out in the middle of the Atlantic ocean is a dusky, swarthy skinned, brown-eyed woman of far off Sicily, who is all unmindful of the terrible calamity which has befallen her lover is traveling westward with but one thought in her heart, that of her marriage to Charles Bartlow, the animal trainer who was killed by the elephant "Tom" last Thursday afternoon. The woman is Loretta Rosanza, a former snake charmer with the Buchanan Brothers' circus. She has been spending the winter season with her mother and father in her home town in Sicily, waiting for her expected marriage to the animal trainer. Even now she is sailing for America, thinking and planning the joys to be realized when she reaches Des Moines. But there will be sad news for the little daughter of the southern skies when her train pulls into the station in Des Moines next week. She is ignorant of the tragedy which has befallen her lover and all unmindful of anything except the bliss of married happiness that she expects on returning to the United States. That Bartlow and the pretty snake charmer were to have been married here within two weeks was stated by Fred Buchanan, manager of the circus, yesterday afternoon. Mr. Buchanan has discovered letters from Senora Rosanza in the effects of the late Bartlow, which go to show that the two were engaged and had planned to be married before the show starts on the road April 29. But Bartlow was stricken down on the very eve of his marriage and there will be no wedding bells for the Sicilian woman when she reaches Des Moines. Miss Rosanza is known around the Buchanan  circus as "Babe Page," a nickname the employes have given her for brevity. She is the woman who was called from Chicago to Des Moines two years ago to capture the large boa constrictor which got loose at the circus. Fred Buchanan telegraphed her to come here and take charge of the snake. It was then that she became acquainted with Bartlow, and after two seasons on the road their friendship ripened into love and they plighted their troth last fall. Old "Tom," the big elephant, was put on trial yesterday before a jury impaneled by Coroner Newlen. The jury listened to tales of the big brute's kindness and gentle disposition told by employes of the circus. It was shown that Bartlow was under the influence of liquor at the time of his encounter with the beast and that his condition was responsible for his death. The elephant was exonerated completely by the jury and he will continue with the show and not be killed or exiled, as had been threatened in the event of the jury's finding him  guilty of murder. The jury was composed of C. K. Mead, Evan Lilley and C.. M. Young. Mr. Buchanan yesterday received a letter from Mrs. Ida Washing of Oskaloosa in which she stated that she believed the dead man was her nephew. Mr. Buchanan stated that he had often heard Bartlow speak of relatives in Oskaloosa and that he knew that he had lived there at one time in the past ten years. Mr. Buchanan stated that he was nearly certain Mrs. Washing is a relative of the dead man and he wrote her the full particulars of Bartlow's death and any evidences that go to prove her relationship with the man. Mrs. Brafford, the woman from Hastings, Ia., who thought Sunday that she recognized in the cold form of Bartlow her half brother, whom she had not seen for more than thirty years, returned to Des Moines yesterday with pictures of her relative. When compared with those of Bartlow they gave no resemblance whatever and it is not thought that Bartlow is the man for whom she is searching.

ELEPHANT'S VICTIM IS KNOWN

Mrs. Ida Washington of Oskaloosa Identified Dead Man.

Des Moines. - Charles Bartlow, the man killed by Tom, the big trick elephant of the Robinson circus, has been identified by Mrs. Ida Washing of Oskaloosa. She informed the coroner that his name was Frank and not Charles. He was her cousin. Mrs. Bafford, the Hastings woman, who thought Bartlow, was her brother, is now entirely satisfied that she has no claim of relationship to the dead man. The remains were laid to rest in Glendale cemetery. Mrs. Washington said that Bartlow had been married in Asia while traveling abroad with the Barnum show, and that a wife and four children survive him, although nothing is known of their whereabouts.

Tom-Tom the elephant leading the Yankee Robinson Circus Parade in Rock Rapids, Lyon Co., IA, August 31, 1909.

But while Rock Rapids people appreciated circuses, they did not appreciate having a circus come along which might interfere with the Lyon County Fair. Just the weekend before the 1909 showing of the Lyon County Fair, Yankee Robinson Circus came to Rock Rapids to put on a show. They were met with hostility, and refused a permit to hold their performances. The circus management wouldn't take "no" for an answer so they decided to put on the circus anyway, and set up for the program. Mayor C. W. Bradley sent his police force to the ground and arrested most of the men with the show for trying to perform without a license. They were all jailed, and the show flopped. There was a repercussion however, two weeks later Bradley and Marshal Carroll were both served with summonses to answer to charges of false arrest brought by A. E. Root and J. A. Mortley, two of the circus people arrested. The suit never did get tried-but it seems that no other circus ever tried to show here just before Lyon County's own fair.

"Big Elephant is Drowned" by Mark Fuller

The headline in the June 30, 1911, Advocate summed it up quickly, with the headline, "The Big Elephant is Drowned." It described the unusual occurrence that had taken place in the Island City the previous Saturday, shortly after the Yankee Robinson Three Ring Circus had come to town. The circus  flyer described the "two trains of cars that would arrive that summer day. It called the circus, "the marvel of the 20th century, appearing under the largest canvas ever constructed." It said to include, "ballet performing sea lions, the roller skating bear, Wild West Bullfighters and "Tom Tom" the largest elephant on earth. The circus train arrived about 8:00 am that morning and unloaded in front of a large crowd near where Seneca Foods Corporation stands today. The goal was to move everything to the circus grounds, just east of the Lakeside Cemetery, to prepare for the days upcoming shows. The elephants were the last to unload, as "Tom Tom" first emerged. Described as "the largest elephant on earth," he was very old, partially blind and very cantankerous. Because of this, he had chains from his front feet to his tusks to aid his handlers in keeping him under control. Before crossing the bridge and moving him to the circus grounds, it was decided to give him a drink from the lake. Unfortunately a drink was not enough for the large elephant as he moved further into the lake. He stepped off the slab fill, which constituted the shoreline, as his front feet began to sink into the mud and water. Because of the chains fastened to his front feet, his handlers could not back him out. "Tom Tom" showed little concern as he continued to move out into the mud and cool waters of the lake, until in a short time, all that could be seen of him was the top of his head and his upright trunk. The circus workers tried to locate a boat to aid the elephant, but it was "too little, too late," as he finally dropped his trunk and quit moving. "Tom Tom" had drowned. Two eight-horse hitches were secured and were finally able to pull the body up on dry land. His remains were then drug to the nearby fire pit, covered with sawdust, and buried, but not before his valuable tusks were removed. The circus handlers seemed to handle his passing well. The Advocate said employees of the show said he had become so ugly that, "little could be done with him and they were in constant danger." Saturday's two shows went on that night without "Tom Tom." The afternoon show was well attended, while the evening performance was less so. The paper added, "The circus employees conducted themselves with more than usual propriety and nothing occurred to justify the bad reputation given the show by newspapers in some of the towns in which they have exhibited." The circus would continue to come to Cumberland for several more years. The following July, the Gollmar Brothers Circus would appear in town on July 29. Among their attractions were the "biggest hippo in captivity, the Ben Hur Stallions." It didn't say if anyone stopped by the lake for a drink. Through over 100-years of construction work on Highway 48 and various building activity, no traces of "Tom Tom" were ever found. We believe he was laid to rest somewhere below mill hill. The elephant "Tom Tom" met his demise in Cumberland and his whereabouts are still a mystery today.
