A SHOCKING AFFAIR.
Menagerie Lion Kills the Baby of Its
Thoughtless owner.

Menagerie Lion Kills the Baby of Its
ThoughtIess owner.
Chillicothie, o., Aug. Tin Thomas
Hurd's animal show, which is part of
Hagenback's menagerie, and is now
showing at the fair grounds, is large
lion which was chained near the en-.
trance to the tent as a catching adver-
tisement. 1t was young beast and
the proprietor prided himself on its
docility. Eddie Hurd, IS months old,
son of the proprietor, was playing near
the animal. A negro servant left the
child near the lion while she went for
a bucket of water. Some one apprised
the mother of the fact, but she said
there was no danger, as the lion would
not hurt anything. The child crawled
within reach and the animal seized
the infant by the head and shook it as
a dog would rat. The mother, reck-
less of danger, rushed to the rescue of
her babe, and might have been torn to
pieces but for the quick presence Of
mind of the father, who struck the
lion with whip. The lion let 60 of
the child, but was a corpse, its head
being crushed out of all semblance tc
anything human. The affair caused 8
panic in the crowded grounds and soou
emptied them.

Sure that he knew as much about

ROBERT j. A WONDER.
The Fastest Four Consecutive Heats

The Fastest Four Consecutive Heats
Ever Paced or Trotted.
Columbus, O., Aug. 10.-Robert J.
again demonstrated today that he is
the greatest PAGER ever harnessed to a
sulky. Frank Agan was the favorite
in the free-for-all pace, and, relying
upon his remarkable performances at
Cleveland, nearly every horseman on
the track backed him to win. Previous
to the second heat of the great race,
Robert ]. had few hackers in this town
outside of Hamlin and the attaches of
the Village Farm stables. When
Robert j. took the second heat, how.
ever, he became hot fsvorite. 1t was
evident from the first that Robert j.
was to be driven to win, and the fact
that Agan was so heavily backed made
it certain the race would be hotly con-
tested. And so it was. 1t was the
greatest race of the year, the fastest
four consecutive heats and the greatest
fourth heat ever paced or trotted on
any track being made.
In the first heat, paced in 2:O334
Agan lowered his record half second,
and broke the track record The second
and third heats, in 2:041s, where con
sidered phenomenal, but the crowd was
not prepared for the great surprise
when the fastest fourth heat ever paced
or trotted, was made, the time being
