A LION AND A BOY.
ATLANTA, L'a., June 5.-Supeiin
tendent John 1. Moshe'er, Of Gran
Park, had terrible battle with {
Mexican lioness Yesterday afternoon
He was fighting for the life o
Inman Bell, 4-year-old boy. Mrs
Bell, accompanied by her boy, was
standing at the railing near the
animals cage when Mosheler came
by on the inside of the railing. Mrs.
Bell asked II the baby lions could
be seen, and to please the boy the
superintendent picked him up in
his arms, walked to the cage and
let him look through the cracks.
Mosheier started to move around to
the other side, to give him better
view. Being inside of the railing.
he had to pass within three feet Of
the lioness' cage, which was next to
the one containing her cubs. Sud-
denly the lioness stretched out her
paw between the bars and made a
stroke at the boy. The blow fell
short, but caught in his clothing.
Before Mosheler could move, the
little fellow had been pulled up to
the enraged beast. With a snap
she seized one of his hands in her
mouth. Mosheler threw his free
hand against the cage and diverted
the animals attention. The lioness
then let go of the boy and clawed
the superintendent's hand. Specta-
tors then rushed to the cage, and
with walking sticks, umbrellas and
rocks, beat upon the bars and the
head of the lioness. With a growl
she released her hold of the child
and turned to meet her new enemies.
The almost DISTRACTED mother clasp
ed her son in her arms and rushed
to her carriage. The boy was bleed
ing from his neck, side and arm.
His injuries are not fatal,
