14 Killed As ‘Raja’ Panics – Ceylon Observer 08/20/1959

Headline 14 Killed As ‘Raja’ Panics.  Headline article is about a trained elephant that went wild and stampeded, killing 14 people.  Apparently “thousands” were injured.
From Ceylon Observer 08/20/1959

This newspaper captures the intermediate stage between British colonial Ceylon and Sri Lanka.  The sports news is British, the comic strips are American, and the news is largely about Ceylon.  Newspaper seems to have been targeted to Europeans and perhaps the upper classes of Ceylon.

This is another paper probably collected because the owner was a tourist in Ceylon at the time of publication.

Aside from the elephant stampede article, this newspaper also includes full comic strip page and an article about Stanley Matthews.
