"A prominent physician Of Muscatine

The qusgga s distant relative OF the

that blood will tell. With a kick 1t
stretched Rajah on the floor and before
the effects of the blow passed away the
tiger had been returned to his cage.
Rajah escaped by making .unge
against the bars between his cage and
that of the quagga. from which the lat

by Keeper William Boyker. who left the
door open.
Boyker saved his life by darting back
