THE KIMBERLY TERROR.
Details By Mail of the Escape of Menagerie
wild Animals.

Details by Mail of he Escape of Menagerie
Wild Animals.
LONDON, Sept. 20 -Advices from kim
berly, South Africa, the center Of the
diamond fields, state that at midnight
June last some person, evidently one
bearing ill-feeling toward Tillis' menag-
erie, opened the doors of the cages CON
fining the wild animals and Sc them all
free.
-Four attendants sleeping on the prem
ises were mangled beyond recognition
being actually torn limb from limb
The entire popolution within a radius
Of a mile was aroused by the roaring Of
the lions, the trumpeting Of the ele-
plants and the groans and shrieks of
the other wild beasts
Four big male lions, named Pasha,
Abdul, Caliph and Mustapha, sprang
from their cages and made for the sta
bles, where Pasha leaped upon the back
Of Murat the great jumping stallion
and buried his teeth in the animals
neck. The screams of the horse aroused
the attendants, Scotchman named
Patterson and three Kafir boys, who,
armed with stable forks, rushed to the
relief of Murat and endeavored TO beat
Pasha back, but were attacked from be-
hind by three other lions and one chee-
tab, thrown TO the ground and dragged
off. Their bodies were mangled and
torn open, their bones smashed into bits
and the heads OF all except one Of the
Kaflirs we're mashed. This Kafiir had
his legs torn off, but lived long enough
to tell the story His body was covered
with decorations.
Having tasted blood the lions, cheet-
their natural ferocity and sprang at
every living thing that came in their
way. -Four performing Hungarian
horses were killed almost instantly,
among which was the equine beauty,
Black Bess, and a number OF ponies
were devoured.
An enormous elephant known as
Blood, burst through the heavy iron
gate in his fright and rushed into Curry
street followed by nearly every animal
in the menagerie
A cabman named Nelson was sitting
on his carriage before the building and
sprang for post that supports an avn
ing around Glover's athletic bar, while
the horses dashed madly down the Du-
toits Frauc road closely pursued by two
lions and four wolves. Tie rest Of the
wild animals scattered in every d.
rection.
little child Of James Grinley, hap
pening to be in rear room opening in
a garden, was pounced upon by choetah
and dragged into the open air where its
agonized mother saw it torn 10 pieces
and devoured before help could reach IL
Other narrowing incidents are reported,
among them the killing Of five women.
