Sekitar Disember 1912, sekawan gajah telah menceroboh beberapa ladang, termasuk Braunston, Bukit Janda, dan Bukit Cherakah Estate. Setelah aduan dibuat, perbincangan dibuat di antara beberapa pihak termasuk di antara beberapa pihak termasuk pihak Residen, Conservator of Forests, Kuala Selangor District Planters Association, serta Pegawai Daerah Kuala Selangor. Keputusan yang diambil ialah mengupah seorang pemburu berpengalaman. Mr. William Hay, bagi menjalankan buruan terhadap gajah-gajah tersebut. Kadar upahnya ialah $300 bagi setiap ekor gajah yang berjaya dibunuh. Separuh daripada bayaran upah ini dibayar oleh pihak peladang. Beliau berjaya membunuh 5 ekor gajah (mungkin pada akhirnya berjumlah 10 ekor?):- | Sekitar Disember 1912, sekawan gajah telah menceroboh beberapa ladang, termasuk Braunston, Bukit Janda, dan Bukit Cherakah Estate.

Operasi ini turut dilaporkan di akhbar: //"Destruction of Elephants. M.D.C. Mr. William Hay, the well known shikari, has recently been awarded a handsome sum of money by the Selangor Government for having saved many estates in Kuala Selangor District from the ravages caused by some elephants. Considerable damage was done to many rubber estates by the animals, rubber trees of different sizes having been uprooted and the roots eaten up. Free licenses have been issued to many planters, whose efforts were fruitless until Mr. William Hay was invited by the Government to save the situation. The Kuala Selangor Planters' Association have consented to share the expense and Mr. William Hay will, therefore, continue to work until a few more are destroyed. The Government had no intention to kill the animals. But owing to the absence of experienced men and tame elephants the proposal to capture the animals alive had to be abandoned."// (Pinang Gazette and Straits Chronicle, 23 June 1913, Page 2: {{ :akhbar:pinangazette19130623-1-2-5.pdf ||}}[[https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/pinangazette19130623-1.2.5|"Destruction of Elephants"]]). | Operasi ini turut dilaporkan di akhbar:- |
