BEASTS TURNED LOOSE.
An Exciting Incident In the Career o
show Men in Africa.

An Exciting Incident In the Career of
show-Mcn in Africa.
The African Diamond Fields Adver-
tiser contains an account of the scene
witnessed after all the animals in Fills
inenagerie had been allowed to escape
by some person who is supposed to have
had G. grudge against the proprietor,
and which incident may contain the
germ from which grew the lurid story
recently published of an entire town be-
ing beseiged by ferocious animals. The
person responsible for the liberation OF
the Fills animals was evidently well
acquainted with the construction OF the
cages and chose the day and hour when
the supervision was most relaxed, and
made good his escape. The four lions,
on bounding from their cages, attacked
the jumping horse, and the animals
screams awoke the four attendants.
Hastily arming themselves with stable
forks they rushed to the scene OF the
disturbance, evidently ignorant OF the
numerical strength of the foe they had
to contend with. These four gallant
fellows met fearful death. From the
last few dying words of one of the Caffre
boys to Mr.. Fills when he arrived upon
the scene, it appears that he and his
mates, when endeavoring to beat back
the lion Pacha, were attacked in the
rear by three other lions and one OF the
cheetahs; they were then literally torn
limb from limb by the ferocious brutes,
and the scene of their death is one of in
describable horror. Having tasted blood
the lions (male and female), the Chez
tabs, the wolves and the leopards seemed
to regain all the ferocity Of their class,
and Mr. Fills four Hungarian horses
and the performing horses fell victims.
The elephant, frightened at the noise,
in its endeavor to escape burst through
the heavy iron gate and rushed into the
street, followed by nearly the whole OF
the animals, who appear to have been
startled by something while engaged in
their work of carnage in the stables. A
cabman residing at Beaconsfield-Nel-
son--had narrow escape. Hearing the
noise he drove down from Main street to
see the animals rush out. He likened the
scene to the exit from Noah's ark. An ele-
plant came first, and few seconds at
terward tumbled out confused mob OF
lions, wolves, hyenas, balloons, leop-
ards, cheetahs and jackals. The wolves,
with the instinct of their race, immedi-
ately rushed upon Nelson's horses and
two of the lions attacked them too.
Strange to say, they left the man unmo-
Tested, and he managed to climb up a
post at Glover's athletic car and secure
his safety in one of the rooms. When
last he saw his horses they were
galloping madly down the road snort
ing and screaming with fear and pain,
followed by the wolves and two of the
lions. The remainder of the animals
Nelson says, dispersed in all directions
But few of tho animals had been re
captured at the time the mail was dis
patched, but one of the lions and Q
| iackal had been shot,
