LION AND LIoNEss FIGHT. There
was a terrible fight in Jacksonville.
Fla, Tuesday morning between Nellie
aud Baruum, the lion and lioness in F.
Fersri's animal show. The entire
neighborhood was aroused at en- early
hour by the deep rosrs OF Barnum, and
it was not long bafore the keepers aud
other attendants OF thu show found the
cause OF the trouble. Nellie had pre-
sented her handsome nate with four
magnificent kittens. When in captiv-
ity the male lion always endeayors to
kill any of the young ones, and the big
fellow had begun his work by killing
one of the kittens before the attendants
could reach him. Seeing her little one
destroyed Nellie became enrsged and a
battle ensued. The two animals were
confined in the same cage. and it took
the combined efforts oil six men 10 eep-
srate the beasts and put the little kit
tens in q place of safety.
