TERRIBLE RESULT OF RECkLESsNESS.
Aman nnmrd Oscar Nixdorf, about twenty
eight years old. who said he was recently
from the Soldiers Home at Dayton, bad his
lett arm lcartuily broken and lacerated by The
griZZlp bears at the Biological Garden yes
terday afternoon. In spite Of repeated warn.
ings Of the keeper he persisted IN sticking
his bands through the bars, saying he knew
the nature of the animals and was not afraid
OF them. The keeper turning away for
moment, NlXlorf thrust his arm through the
bars INTO the cage and he male grizzly caught
it. and almost Immediately the female also
seized it. The mans arm was like a dry
weed in the claws Of the powerful animals.
aud he cried out with pain and terror. lie
thrust his other hand through the bars to
endeavor to release himself. and that
was badly lacarated at the wrist. The
keeper came 10 bis 3ssistance, and with
much difficulty eX'ricated the unfortunate
man. His left arm was a nervecss mss OF
broken bones and manged fish. 1t was
broken at the wrist and above and below the
elbow, and drawn from the socket at the
shoulder, and pulled from the joint at the
elbow, At one time one of the animals had
the man by the head. and he would no
doubt have been drawn into the cage by
pitce-Real had not the keeper come TO his
help and driven the beasts off. Tue wounded
man was taken to the Cincinnati Hospital.
1t was ascertained that he had been employed
as 4 nurse at the hospital, and was discharged
for drunkenness. He was, no doubt, under
the Influence OF liquor yesterday afternoon.
He will be fortunate if be does not lose his
life, as there is great danger of gsnsrene set
ting in. His left arm was amputated last
night Cincinnati Commercial, 21st.
