TORN BY MAD BEASTS
hree Animal Trainers
Frighttu|Iy Lacerated
Furious Attacks BY Lion, Leopard and Bear.
Woman's Arm Severed. A Mans
Ib1on en- Ripped Open.
by the Associated Press.)

Cleveland, Ohio. une 7.-Three trainers
attached TO an animal show had thrill
ing experiences here today with their
savage pets and as a result one man,
the lion trainer, Joseph McPhee, is fatal
ly injured with great holes in his abdo-
mon made by the lion. The other in
jured are Joseph Wedder and Madame
Norelli.
The animals had travelled from Boston
to this city and were surly and ugly.
Weddpr entered the cage of a big bear,
which received him with a sweep of his
immense paw, knocking him to the floor,
where the bear bounced upon him and fas-
tened his teeth into his right leg, tear
ing off so large a chunk as to make
necessary. SO surgeons say, the amputa-
ton of the injured limb.
A leopard leaped upon Nine. Morelli's
shoulders and she had her right arm
severed. Nine. Morelli was lying on the
floor when the attendants came to her
assistance and with difficulty drove the
beast off.
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, 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
tendons being pulled from the bone. The
efforts of the attendants to run the lion
Off with pixies had no effect and only in
furiated him the more, Tor he quickly
pushed MS big jaws and sharp teeth into
McPhce's abdomen and when he released
his hold the trainers abdomen was torn
so badly that his e~ntrails were III sight.
The lion was finally driven Oft ana NC
Phee removed from the cage.
