Them rs Such with Tigers.

Judge Lacombe. OF the United States
Circuit Court. was petitioned this morn
ing by James Magnon. a snake-charmer.
and Arthur Kelschau. a circus rider. to
give his opinion as to whether 1t was
not possible to classify trained snakes,
dogs. tigers and horses, not as live
stock" but as tools OF trade"
The petitioners imported on the
steamer Bohemia recently twenty-eight
trained snakes one educated tiger, an
accomplished horse, and a most intelli-
gent dog. which they intended to ex-
hibit In this country. Collector Kill

by Magnon and Kelschau. They
