Two Men Badly Hurt and Three others
Bruised in a Wild Beasts Cage.

Bridgeport, Conn, March 13.-Three
keepers and two assistants were rescued
in the nick of time from a Bengal tiger
known as Jack at the circus wint~r quar-
tiers to-day Two of the men are badly
injured w II. Winner has broken nose
and Nathan Mckay is badly lacerated in
the loins and legs. hilip Bush, Charles
Trip and Scott Clifford got off with a
few scratches,
On last Saturday for the first kime in
the life of this particular tiger a live
sheep was given him for dinner. He was
bred in captivity. Since that meal Jack
has refused the raw meat offered him.
To-day Jack became so excited that the
other big cats began TO grow uneasy.
Keeper Winner suggested that Jack be
fooled by dead sheep rugged up to repre-
sent a live one.
Into the den went Winner and Mckay
with the dead sheep. When the tiger
sprang against the partition with terrific
force it gave way and at once the fight
began. Neither Winner or Mckay had a
weapon. They tried to keep the tiger off
with bits Of the broken partition. Bush
and Clifford prodded the tiger with an
iron scraper and fork. Charles Trip
passed in a heavy bar to Winner, but be-
fore he could reach it the tiger struck
him, breaking his nose Mckay fell and

RATLIFFE's TRIAL BEGUN.
The Case Considered a Notable On
for Several Reasons.


for Several Reasons.
New Orleans, March l5.-The Times
Democrats special from Kosciusko,
Miss, says; "The noted case of w. p.
Ratliffe for the killing of s. A. jackson on
March came to trial this morning, and
now occugies the public mind in this sec
ton to the exclusion of everything else.
1t is trial that commands the public
interest for more than one reason. First
1t grew out of the intense political excite
ment, occasionally reaching fever heat,
that has agitated the county for the past
two years. The defendant is one of the
best known members of the Populist
party, while the deceased wasa prominent
democratic leader
The trial will be noted as beng in &C
cordance with the growing feeling in IA
Vor OF speedy trials and in line with Gov
Stones recent suggest ions to the legisla-
ture on this subject. 1t will pass into To-
cal history as mOstimpOrtant event, and
for years it will be discussed in the state
The trial promises to stretch out to a
great length, and may occupy the entire
remainder OF the present term of court.
RATLIFFE's APPEARANCE.
''W. P. Ratlife, the defendant. APP
Feared in the court room shortly after 9
O'Clock Mr. Ratliffe was neatly dressed
in long black coat, and appeared very
calm and composed. The confinement,
however, had told on him little, making
him look pale'and thin
The roll of witnesses was called and
most of them responded to their names.
The list was long, comprising eighty-tive
in all.
The examination of jurors then began
and occupied the remainder of the day
Under the law of the state strict qualifi-
cations are prescribed for iurymen in adj
dition to the fact that the state and the
/ defense have the right to precipitately
reject twelve jurors each without assign
ing any reason. Those circumstances
may make the selection of a Jury in an
important case a very difficult task, and
the present case was no exception to the
rule. The attorneys on both sides were
keen and vigilant in passing upon the
jurors, and all about exhausted their
right to challenge the special views of
nifty men before the full jury was secured.
About O'Clock both sides announced
themselves satisfied with the jurors in
the box and the court adjourned until to-
morrow morning, when the trial proper
will be begun 1t is a lamentable fact
that politics are playing a very important
part in the case"

HEIREss IN A INCUBATOR.
A Tiny Tot Prematurely Born Will Be
Worth Millions if It Lives.

New York, March ia baby girl,
weighing less than two pounds and
measuring less than twelve inches from
the tips of her toes to the top of her doll
like head, is being nurtured in an incu-
bator in the home of Madison Avenue
millionaire. The little ones mother died
in giving premature birth.
If the baby can be kept alive until she
shall have reached the development when
babies are supposed to begin their career
in this world, and then continue to live
under natural conditions, she will enjoy
all that wealth can give her.
The father of the child is +. Clarence
Haight. The birth of the little girl,
which occurred on the night of February
"A, was three months premature. Drs
Walker and Carleton, both eminent spe-
cialists, were called The mother died
shortly after
The little child did not die as expected.
The nurse wrapped it up in warm fan
mel and, although the doctors had not
much faith in the incubator plan, decided
to get an incubator.
The baby had not been in the incubator
more than two hours when its respiration
became quite regular, and it showed
other signs of the return of a healthy
life. To-day was the seventeenth day of
the baby's incarceration in the incubator.
1t has gained probably two pounds in
weight. and it is probably an inch and a
half taller than a. the time of birth.
Food in the shape of matted milk, is
administered with small bottle of or
binary pattern. When, as occasionally
happens, the little one is taken from the
incubator for an instant, warm blanket
is thrown over her little bed, and all is
lifted out. It would be death TO the child
if the cold air, and the air Of we'll
heated room would be cold 10 it, should
strike it. Now the tot cries like an or
binary born child, and kicks around and
opens her eyes whenever she wants food.
The doctors say they feel quite positive
that she will live in the incubator until
she gets the growth and strength of a
naturally born baby.
This will be in about six weeks from
now. The incubator is about 81 feet
long and ~ feet wide and high. The
successful raising of prematurely born
child by the incubator is a very rare
thing.
