LION ATTACKS HIS KEEPER AND IS SHOT ID DEATH Enraged Because of Attempt to Give Him Medicine
 on Meat
ANIMAL HAD PNEUMONIA
This Vicious Brute Has Killed Two Keepers in Ills Time-Harris Show Telegraphs for
 Another One.

Nero, the huge trained Nubian lion, be- longing to the Harris Niekle Plate show in winter quarters at the fair grounds, was killed yesterday morning, after hav- ing attacked and wounded one of his keepers.
 The lion and lioness in the possession of the show of the Nubian specie had both been well trained, and were used as a part of the entertainment in the concert after the regular exhibition. It is claimed however, that the lion has always been treacherous, having killed two of his trainers several years ago, and that not very long ago he attacked one of the keepers, badly lacerating his arm.
 For several days this pair of Nubians have been i'll with pneumonia, and the attendants have been giving them with their food preparation of sulphur and lard. Yesterday morning they refused to eat their meat with the medicine on 1t, and 1t became necessary for one of the men to enter the cage to try to force them to take it. No sooner had the man en- tered the cage than the lion viclously at- cA several of the attendants who kept him off with iron bars, he would have been the third victim of the beast. Seeing. how ever, that the iron bars could not pre- vail long against the fury of the brute. one of the men stuck pistol close to his head and sent a bullet crashing into his brain.
 The regular keeper of the lions, and who has performed with them for five years. has been absent several weeks. and 1t Is said that had he been present all would probably have gone well.
 This lion was very valuable one, being one Of the largest in the country and about IS years old. the prime of life for a lion. The company immediately ordered another one from Chicago to take his place.
 The employees of the show presented the hide of the animal to Dr. Gibson, the veterinary surgeon, who has sent 1t away to be tanned and mounted.

MANY FARMERS ID
 ATTEND MEETING Question ofa Canning Factory
 Will be Discussed IOWA MAN INTERESTED They Will Put in the Plant Provided Enough Vegetables Are Raised
 in This County to Keep
 1t Working.

Indications for large attendance at the meeting of farmers called for Saturday at the Commercial Club. A number of let ters have been received from substantial farmers in all parts of the county an- nouncing their intention to attend.
 The meeting is to be held for the pur pose of considering whether the farmers of the district raise enough cucumbers, tomatoes and other vegetables to put large canning and pickling factory here on a paying and working basis A gentle man from Des Moines, Ia.. has such a project in mind and will discuss 1t at the meeting.
 The letter from Secretary Gibson as mailed to farmers is as follows:
 You are invite ed to attend a meeting of the citizens engaged in farming at the Commercial Club hall next Saturday. January 4 at Il o'clock a. m. This meet the purpose of discussing the question of raising in this district sufficient quan- titles of cucumbers, tomatoes etc., to warrant the establishment of pickle and canning factory. You are authorized to invite others to come with you who may be interested in this question.
 MT. F. s. White who interested the town in the project states that the plant will be erected without any bonds being furnished by the city. He says the gentle man will be satisfied with a donation of the land necessary for the factory build ings and guarantees from the citizens of the surrounding community that enough cuclmbers will be raised and furnished at fhe market price to keep his rnachin- cry going all the season. It is estimated that 1t will require that at least one hum dred and fifty acres be planted in cucum- bers to supply the demand of a factory to cost about $10.000.
 It is also the purpose of the gentle man to put in machinery for canning tomatoes and fruit after the picking plant is firmly established. The output of to- matoes could be made very large with little effort and the profits on them are first rate.

FEDERAL COURTS SUPREME IN ALL
 BANKRUPT CASES Order in the Case of Scheuer Against Smith and
 Montgomery ARE DECLARED BANKRUPT Court of Appeals Reverses Decision of Judge TouImIn and Sustains
 chancery Court in Ap.
 pointing Receiver.
ARE DECLARED BANKRUPT

Judge Thomas G. Jones of the United States Court has issued an order re- straining the defendants in the case of II. Scheuer ct al. vs. the Smith & Mont gomery Book and Stationary Company from taking any further action in the chanoery court of the state of Alabama.
 Order was issued in compliance with tho ruling of the United States Court of Appeals, at New Orleans, to which tho case was carried from the Chancery Court here, and practically means that the United States Courts have iurisdc- tion over the state courts in all bank rupt cases.
 The case first came up in the Cham cery Court before Judge Garrett, who appointed John H. Miller receiver for the firm, which was composed of Pearl L. Smith, zac P. Smith, w. G. Montgomery and J. A. Montgomery, and the latter two as the administrators of the will of A. s. Montgomery
 John w. Tomlinson, attorney for some of the creditors of the company. then. filed a petition for involuntary bankrupt cy in the United States Court. The case was heard before Judge Toulmin, who uec1ueu that the state Cnancery court had previous Jurisdiction as the company had committed no acts of bankruptcy. The case was then appealed to the United States Court of Appeals at New Orleans, which several days ago handed down a decision reversing and remanding that of Judge Toulmin, which caused Judge Jones to issue the above order.
 The plaintiffs attorney petitioned the Court of Appeals that the defendant be prevented from taking any further steps in the prosecution of the petition filed by it in the Chancery Court for the dlssolu- tion of the firm. The court decided that the firm had been duly declared bank rupt and that the assets and property were in the hands of receiver appointed by said Chancery Court.
 The amount involved in the case was not what made it of so much importance, but 1t was the first of the kind that has ever come up in local courts and was merely a trial case. It is considered a great victory for the plaintiffs attorneys.
