LACERATED BY A LION.
Life and Death Struggle Between
Beast and Tanner.

Life and Death Struggle Between
Beast and Tanner.
Boston, Mass, May pa theatre
full of people witnessed a life-and-
death struggle last night between a
man and lion.
Heinrich Mehrmann, the trainer of
the lions, had entertained the audi
ence with the tricks of his huge pets
The shcw was over, the last trick had
been performed and it only remained
to send the animals back to the cages
before lowering the curtain. All but
Nero left the big cage without making
any trouble. When the other animals
had left the cage Mehrmann turned
to Nero and ordered him out The lion
refused. There was an ominous growl
when Mehrmann raised his whip. but
the trainer saw that the case required
discipline or all control of the beast
would be lost.
The sharp lash fell across Nero's
face and instantly the huge beast
sprang upon its trainer. Mehrmann
was borne to the floor of the cage as
if ne had been a baby. The lion held
him as a cat holds a mouse and his
sharp claws penetrated deeply into
Mehrmann's flesh. The audience was
in an uproar and the commotion was
so great that the lion lifted his head
and surveyed the scene. holding Mehr-
mann securely the while. This inter
ruption probably saved Mehrmann s
life, for it gave him time for two aides
to seize iron prongs and enter the cage.
They drove the lion from his victim S
body. AS soon as he was freed, Mehr-
mann was carried to the rear of the
stage, where his wounds were dressed
His left arm and back and the upper
part of his abdomen were badly LAGER
ated by the lions claws.

The Peoples Forwarding company last
night sustained loss by fire in the
nelghborhood of $500, with insurance of
$1,000 and the Jennings Brothers Invest
ment company came in for a loss on
their building of about $500, with no in
surance.
Shortly after Z o'clock an alarm bt
fire was turned in from the box at the.
corner of Second South and Main street.
followed shortly after by a telephone
alarm from the store of the Peoples
in which the fire was located. The de-
partment got out in splendid shape and
soon had half a dozen streams of water
playing on the fire, which was in the
floor, but rapidly spreading to the upper
floors and towards the front. The com
pany had just put in an extra heavy
stock of hay, grain, flour and other pro-
baled hay the smoke was sitting. pouring
from the front and back of the build

right at the heart Of the conf1agra ton.
but on account of the nature of the fire
and it's location did not secure complete
control for nearly an hour, during which
time the entire stock contained in the
building had been almost ruined by fire.
smoke and water Through the untiri1Ag
efforts of the firemen none of the hrk
was allowed to get outside of the builq-
ing. The latter was considerably dam
aged, the two floors, walls and roof be-
ing badly burned. Is is very probable
that the owners, the Jennings Brothers
Investment company, will at once tear
down the damaged structure and may
decide to build a substantial business
structure in its place.
This is the second fire the Peoples For
warding company has had within the year
and when questioned by a Herald re-
porter as to his idea of the origin of last
nights blaze. Mr.. Rich stated that he
felt convinced it originated with an IN
cendiary. In substantiation of this theory
the gentleman stated that just before s
o'clock a man entered the store Of the
company and desired prices on grain.
Mr. Rich and his clerk, after talking with
him for some time, left the building on an
errand and when they returned the fell
low was nowhere to be seen. They at
cnce locked up and went into an adjoining
business house. But, returning in a short
time, saw through the front doors the fire
in the rear. Mr.. Rich bursted open the
door and turned in the telephone alarm.
An investigation revealed the fact that
the rear doors, both of which had been
locked but a short time before, were open
and the fire was confined among the hay.

receive the fullest investigation.
The Peoples Forwarding company car

The decline was checked by the receipt

WEATHER CROP CONDITIONS.


Washington. May 22-The weather bu-
reau, in its report of weather crop con-
ditions, week ended the 21st, says: In the
middle Atlantic coast from the Carolinas
to New Jersey, over the states of the
eastern Rocky mountain slope, and in
the northern portions of the upper Missi-
ssippi and Missouri valleys, the weather
has been slightly warmer than usual;
elsewhere, the weather has been de-
cidediy cool, the temperatures averaging
from degrees to below the normal in
portions of New England and over the
entire region from the great lakes to
the gulf, while the deficiency in tempera-
ture was equally as marked on the Pa
chic coast.
The week has been one of unusual tenn
perature extremes, the difference be-
tween the highest and lowest temporal
lures amounting to as much as sixty de-
grees in the upper Missouri valley and
ranging from 40 to 60 degrees over the
greater portion of the Rocky mountains.
The rainfall was very heavy in eastern
Montana and was generally above the
average over Idaho, eastern Oregon and
Washington, and Central California
There was a total absence of rain in
Kansas, Southwestern Missouri, Okla
hona Western Texas, and over the
greater part of Kansas. Drought pre-
walls in Eastern South Dakota, Nebraska,
Arkansas, Southwestern Texas and New
Mexico.

Mr. Watson stated that he had been

ready there had been too much delay.
A few years and the city will have
increased its population to 100000, the
work could be prosecuted without the
hardships so graphically depicted by
the obstructienists and he would vote
that the sewer be completed at the
earliest possible moment. Not only this,
he desired it completed by days work.
Mr.. Clawson stated that he con-
ceived that the platform upon which
he had been elected pledged him to a
