by the Teeth of "A Lion, and He
May Die.
MADAME MORELLI ALSO HURT
HER RIGHT ARM AND SIDE LAGER
ATED BY A LEOPARD.
Herman Wedder FeIIed by the Paw OF
n Bear and His Right Leg Bad
Iy Crushed.

CLEVELAND, o., June 7.-Three animal
trainers attached to an animal show had
thrilling experiences here to-day with their
savage pets, and as result one man, the
lion trainer, Joseph McPhee, is fatally in
jured, with great holes in his abdomen
made by the teeth of a lion. The others
injured are Herman Wedder, whose right
leg was badly crushed by a bear, and
Madame Morelli, whose right arm and side
were lacerated by leopard. The animals
had been shipped from Boston to this city
yesterday and were surIy and ugly They
were being transferred from the railroad
cars to their cages when the casualties
happened.
Wedder was the first to be injured when
he entered the cage Of a big bear which re-
ceived him with a swipe of his immense
paw knocking Wedder to the floor. where
the bear pounced upon him and fastened his
teeth into his right leg, tearing off so large
a chunk as to make necessary, the sur
geons say, the amputation of the injured
limb.
Madame Morelli, who entered her cage of
leOpards, was received in a similar manner
to Wedder, only that one of her pets leaped
upon her shoulder and lacerated her right
arm severely. Madame Morelli was lying
on the floor when the attendants came to
her assistance and with pixies drove the
spotted beast off, not, however, without its
making another attempt at the woman's
life, for just as the door about to be
closed between the animals and the woman
he again made a leap a her.
The lion tanner, McPhee, was watching
the transfer of the lions from the car to
their cage, and because they refused to
move promptly he entered the cage. He
had hardly entered before a great beast
leaped upon him. pinioning him TO the floor
The lion placed mis- great paws upon the
fallen mans breast and tore his right leg
in a fearful manner, the tendons being
pulled from the bone.
The efforts of the attendants TO drive the
lion off with pixies had no effect and seemed
only TO infuriate him the more, for he
quickly pushed his big jaw and sharp teeth
into McPhees abdomen, and when he re-
leased his hold the trainers abdomen was
torn so greatly that his entrails were in
sight. The lion was finally driven off and
McPhee removed from the cage more dead
than alive. He was removed to an i'm
provised hospital arrangement, and physI-
clans who were called say that he IS fatally
injured.

all will be In the mines. No violence is
reported from any place in the district

SWITCH WAS OPEN.
Part of Train Ditched and Engineer
and Fireman ScaIded.

KANKAKEE, Ill. June 7.-What is be-
lieved to have been attempt to wreck
the Chicago accommodation passenger
train, leaving here at $40 p m, south
bound on the Illinois Central, took place at
Ashkum, fifteen miles south of Kankakee,
tonight. The train, at full speed. jumped
the track after striking an open switch.
The engine and baggage car were ditched
and the passengers were badly shaken up,
but none was seriously injured. Engineer
John Smith and the fireman were seriously
scalded and the engineer was cut about the
head.
The theory that wrecking attempted
is supported by the fact that the switch
showed a white light, though open. Two
weeks ago an attempt was made to wreck
the same train by placing ties and railroad
scrap iron on the main line at Ashkum.
