A Lion Tanners Feat .

Says the San Francisco Post !:
Perhaps the most magnificent act
of heroism ever performed IN this
vicinity was witnessed during the
performance Of a circus at Reno,
on Saturday last. The lion tanner
was giving an exhibition Of his
control over the felocious brutes
under his charge, when suddenly
he was obseryedto turn pale and
tremble. The largest lion Of the
six in the cage had displayed un-
usual suIlenness and anger, and
now refused to obey its master
With gIaring eyes it crouehed il
the corner, and evidently meditat-
ed spring. The trainer recovered
his self-possesslon in moment
and keeping his eye firmly fzee
upon that Of the huge beast, deal
it a terrible blow with his raw-hidt
over the face. With aferee snar
| the infuriated lion bounded for
ward. Catching one Of its opeI
Jaws in either hand, the powerful
man held the brute off for des-
perate moment BY main strength
An electric thrill Of horror raj
through the crowd which surround
led the cage in an instant. III,
beasts in the other dens shrieket
and .roared il chorus. It is in
moment like this that the rea
heroic element asserts itself. With
fout turning his head in the least
the brave man firmly whispered
