CHILD KILLED
BY A LION.
Two-Year-Old Boy Nearly De
capitated in an Animal
Show in Ohio.


A horrible accident occurred at
the Fair Grounds this after
noon. A portion of Hagen
beck's animal show occupies
the tent just inside the gate,
and a big lion was chained in
front of the tent as an attrac-
ton. Eddie Hurd, the 2-year-
old son of Mr.. and Mrs, \ hos.
Hurd, who have charge of the
show, was playing near the
lion. The brute watched the
child as he came nearer and
nearer and finally, with a move
ment quick as lightning, seized
the child's head in its Jaws.
The boys father and mother
were standing near by and a
great crowd was in front of the
tent. Women tainted and con-
fusion reigned supreme. The
father sprang on the lion and
with the greatest difficulty
forced the beast to open its
jaws. The top of the child's
head had been crushed.
A panic followed among the
crowd surrounding the tent and
the people who were inside
watching the show. 1t was at
once reported that the lion was
loose, and it is a miracle that
no one was seriously injured
in the stampede that followed.
Another child happened to be
near the cage with the other
lions at the time of the accident
and was rescued from the
brutes with great diff
Guilty. They smelled the blood
and became excited at once.
Their constant roarings alarm
ed the crowd in the grounds.
Mr.. Hurd picked up the
lifeless form of his boy and
bore it into the tent. There
was a great cut on the fore
head where the lion had first
down its prey with its
paw, and around the top of
the head were terrible wounds
made by the beasts strong
teeth. The skull had been
crushed. Mrs. Hurd was fran
tic. Her screams echoed
the grounds for half
an hour. She seemed utterly
crazed by the accident. The
boys death was instantaneous.
His mother sat nursing the
body and refusing all
Mr.. Hurd was employed by
Hagenbeck to do the talking
on the outside, and his wife
posed as the snake charmer.
The child had been left near
the lion by a negro servant,
who had been sent to get a
bucket of water, and some one
remarked to the mother that
it was playing dangerously
near the lion, but she replied
there was no danger as the
lion was perfectly gentle and
would not harm anv one An
