WILD ANIMALS UGLY.
thrilling Experiences ofShow People
at Cleveland. Ohio.

Three trainers attached to an ami
NAL show had thrilling experiences at
Cleveland, Ohio. Saturday with their
savage pets, and as a result one man.
the lion trainer, Jos. McPhee, is
fatally injured with great holes in his
abdomen made by the teeth Of lion.
The others injured are Herman We'd
der. whose right leg was badly crush
ed by a bear, and Nine. Morelll:
whose right. arm and side were lacer-
ated by a leopard.
The animals had travelled from
Boston to Cleaveland and were surly
and ugly. Wedder entered the cage
of big bear, which received him with
a swipe Of his immense paw. knocking
him to the floor, where the bear
bounced upon him and fastened his
teeth into his right leg, tearing OF so
large chunk as to make necessary,
surgeons say, the amputation OF the
injured limb. \ leopard upon Nine.
Norell'S shoulder and laceratcd her
right arm severely. Nine. NOrelli was
lying on the floor when tie attendants
came to her assistance and with spikes
drove the animal off.
The lion tanner, McPhee, was watch
ing the transfer of the lions from the
car to their cage and because they re-
fused to move promptly he entered
the cage. He had hardly entered be-
fore a great beast leaped upon him,
pinning him to the floor. The lion
placed his great paws upon the fallen
mans breast and tore his right leg in
a fearful manner. the tendous being
pulled from the bone. The efforts Of
attendants to drive the lion off with
spikes had no effect and seemed only
to infuriata him the more, for he
quickly pushed his big jaws and sharp
teeth into McPhee's abdomen and
when he released 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.
