“The elk were liberated in an enclosure of seven to eight acres.  Mr. Elmer J. Ware, the park superintendent, reported on January 14 that ‘the four elk donated to Alum Rock State Park by the California Academy of Sciences reached the park in good condition and are doing well.’  On February 23 Mr. Ware reported the ‘one of the male elk died last week.  Do not know just what was the cause.  The others are doing very well.’ ”
