II was useless for the Ringlings to set
forth the measures they would adopt in
the way Of impregnable barriers to keep
the animals within the Enclosure. The
people insisted that occasional escape
could not be prevented. and they pictured
all the horrors of a raging lion going
about seeking whom he might devour, OF
tigers eating their cattle and elephants
and hippopotami trampling down their
growing crops. tearing down fences and
spreading havoc and devast a. ion around
generally in large chunks The upshot of
the agitation was that the matter was
taken into the courts and the citizens
secured permanent Injunction against
the Ringlings. restraining them from
stocking their proposed wild animals

Foreseeing that the same opposition
would develop In any other community,
the Ringlings next conceived the idea of
buying or leasing small island off the
southern coast for the purpose. Nego-
tiations were entered into for the pur-
chase of some small islands among the
smaller Florida keys. Before the nego-
tiations were completed war with Spain
was declared, and, in the prevailing ex-
element in that section. the negotiations
were suspended They were resumed
