BOONE'S BRAVERY.

The rending of the lion tanner at
Boone's Menagerie on Tuesday was a
horrible affair. Standing out
strongly in this connection is the
great personal courage of Col. Boone
who-when the lions with their
bloody muzzles buried in the body OF
a man, were rending their victim
dashed into the cage, beat the ravinS
beasts to their corners and brought
the mangled body out.
Hardly one man in million would
have dared to have entered such a
place, but the man of iron nerve was
equal to the emergency and demon
strated that his reputation for great
personal courage honestly belonged
to him. Many have held that the
lions were drugged before they went
into the arena, but after the affair OF
Tuesday the fact that man takes
his life in his hand whenever he
deals with them, will not be ser
lously questioned.
