DISCARDED HIS MENAGERIE.
Important, if true, wns the announce
ment that Bob Fitzsimmons has decid
cd not to. use his tame lion, wild don
key, performing peacock, flying squir-
rel and wrestling dog in his course of
trimming for Gus Rubin, says spe-
cial. Fitz had TO declare his original
match off with Rubin on account of
an injury received while fooling with
his performing lion. and. perhaps, this
taught the Cornishmnn Il lesson. Fitz
is Il lcnd against household pets, and
he carries with him on his travels IL
menagere that would do credit to the
best side show on earth. Fitz ut one
time had u very large lion that was
trained to the minute TO do any trick
| y
Eitz told him to do and n lot of things
he didn't tell him to do. The lion fl
nally met his fate at Cleveland Ohio,
while gently gnawing at an Innocent
looking electric light wire. Both the
lion and Fitz were terribly shocked,
the lion from the live wire and Fitz
mt the sight of the dead lion.
