Tonka has been humanely euthanized following the onset of acute pain and severe swelling in his left forelimb last week. He was 46 years old, making him the second-oldest bull African bush elephant in North America. He was the largest land animal in North America. He was also a beautiful, captivating, and good-natured animal. My sincerest condolences go out to his keepers, and to everyone to whom he brought joy, like he brought me every time I saw him.

Rest easy, big buddy.

"NOTORIOUS GUNMAN CAUGHT IN TORONTO," Toronto Globe. September 29, 1913. Page 9. ---- Three Brothers, Murderers, Had Been Here Six Months ---- ESCAPED FROM TENNESSEE ---- Archie Parker, Alias Massey, Arrested in Earlscourt Home - One Convict Has, Died, and the Other Has Escaped. ---- Heavily armed, four Toronto detectives, Miller, Young, Armstrong and McConnell, accompanied by Officer Beasley of Knoxville, Tenn., entered a house in the rear of 10 St. Clarens avenue early Saturday morning and arrested one of the most desperate gunmen that was ever convicted of murder in Tennessee, bringing to a finish a chase which has extended for many months over the continent.

The man arrested was Archie Parker, alias Massey. The officers hoped to arrest "Brink" Massey, a brother of the prisoner, but in some manner he had heard of their coming and had made good his escape.

The charge of murder, for which three brothers had been convicted - one of them has since died in Toronto - was the outcome of a feud in the southern State over a love affair in which one of the brothers of the prisoner had been jilted in favor of a fellow-townsman named Jesse Calhoun.

Two uncles of the prisoner, so states Officer Beasley, were also convicted of murder, one of them serving a sentence of twenty years, while the other escaped from custody and remained away until the evidence of the crime was lost track of.

Bore Gruesome Scars. The man arrested here Saturday has an ugly scar extending from ear to ear across his throat, a similar scar across his back and scars of two bullet wounds on his body, all the result of fights in the south. Officer Beasley, who has known the family for many years, states that all of the male members of the family are of a very low character, and that the prisoner himself was guilty of a serious offence against his sister-in-law before he left the south. The prisoner was living with his wife and two children when arrested.

The story of the crime for which Archie Parker was arrested and the subsequent events roads like a melodrama of a certain type or a photoplay which would have difficulty In getting past the censors.

Made Vow of Revenge. When the Massey brothers learned that one of their tribe had been jilted in favor of Jesse Calhoun. It is related that they made a silent vow that they would murder their brother's rival. A short time afterwards they learned that the successful lover was in the Stillwater Inn in Knoxville. They rode up to the door and asked Calhoun to step outside as they wished to see him. As soon as Calhoun had come from the inn they emptied the contents of their revolvers into the man's body and fled to the mountains. For some time they lived in the mountains in security, supplied with food by terrified mountaineers.

One morning, however, a daring Sheriff with two assistants arrested them. while asleep. The three were tried and convicted for murder. Their sentence was deferred, and in the meantime, obtaining their freedom on bail to the extent of $20,000, they "jumped" six months ago.

Took Refuge in Earlscourt. Local officers were warned of their escape and became suspicious of the actions of the three brothers living in the house in the Earlscourt district, who were working as carters. Word was sent to Knoxville, Tenn., that It was thought these men were the much-wanted gunmen. Before Officer Beasley arrived with the descriptions of the men and the necessary papers for their arrest one of the men, Andrew Parker, died.

It is thought that the brother. "Brink" Parker, has reached the United States, but the police are now searching for him in case he is still in the city.
