WILD BOAR AGAINST TIGER.
The Tigers Only Aim Seemed to BE TO

The Tigers Only Aim Seemed to BE 10
Jump Out Of the Reach of the Hog.
From the st. Louis Post Dispatch.
A gentleman recently travelling in India
describes fight he witnessed while there
between a wild boar and a savage tiger
The fight was pulled off in a pit ten yards
in diameter, with sanded floor and Six
teen-foot walls. Several trap doors served
as entrances through which to introduce
the animals. A trail of grain through one
of these doors served to decoy a two-year-
old boar into the arena. A tiger nearly
full grown, that for year had lived an
intnensive existence in a cage, was forced
down plane from another door, and the
two beasts were together.
The tiger wanted TO get away. His head
hung down like whipped dogs, and his
tail dropped. The fight was apparently 60
ing to be fizzle, when the natives began
to throw things at the tiger. Then the
beast began to growl. Suddenly the boar
dived at him. The tiger leaped into the air
and the boar rushed underneath and went
half dozen feet beyond. 1t puzzled the
boar Immediately to have the tiger get
away from him in that way, and he turned
times the tiger leaped above the boar, but
the fourth time the boar threw up his head
and the tiger got a rip with the tusks that
drew blood. Then the cat turned on the
pig, grabbed him by the nape Of the neck
and shook him as a schoolmaster shakes a
small boy. This done, the tiger dropped
the boar and walked away. The tiger had
nee rely intended to punish the little beast.
The boar got his breath and recovered
somewhat from his dizziness and, facing
the tiger again, made for him just as IL the
tiger wasn't several times bigger. The
tiger eluded the charge easily. Then
through 1t at full speed leaving the boar
wild for fight.
