Four Strong Men Required to Pull {
Tooth From Lions Jaw,

New York Oct. 14.-Jack, the bis
African lion at Glen island. had q
tooth extracted yesterday, and it re
onired the united efforts of four strong
men to accomplish the task. Ten
davs ago Jack became very irritable.
A. times after eating he would fly into
2 paroxysm Of rage and dash about
his cage roaring viciously.
Head Keeper Frank Healey discov-
cred the cause of the trouble-a Jump
ing toothache The lion suffered so
that he had to be removed to the ami
NAL hospital. There was but one
thing to be done. The tooth had to
come out.
Early yesterday morning Jacks
cage was wheeled out and after a
great deal of maneuvering a moose
was slipped over the lions head.
Ropes had been attached to two sides
OF the moose and while these were
tightened and held to the floor, Mr.
Healy slipped in the door. In an in
slant he had put over the lions head
large peach basket containing
su0nges saturated with chlorOform.
Before Mr.. Healy was safe out of
the cage the lion had demolished the
basket with his paw and the attempt
To- administer the anesthetic had to
Bee abandoned. 4 second attempt was
made half an hour later. This time a
rope was run under the lion and with
the rope about his neck he was hoist
eJ 10 The top of the cage, when it took
but a moment to twist a few coils of
rope around his legs. When he was
lowered to the floor he was helpless.
Then he was chIoroformed. Two men
prea open his massive jaws and in
serted ? block OF wood. The deCayed
tooth was found, the fOrceps applied
All. The Dig molar pulled out. Then
an auJseptic was placed on the wound
and when all was completed the ropes
we've 'ooseued and the cage wheeled
ous in the open air.
Within > minutes the lion had re-
y.yeI AMI vas shifting about his cage
His actions showed that he was aware
that something had happened, but did
hot realize what it was.

that these explosives were in the pri-
son, but the amount astonished them.
Tom Fallon and Tom Fisher, two of
the men who participated in yester-
days break, were sweated last night
and this morning and finally lead the
officers to the hiding place. Two sticks
of giant powder were found in the par
titions of the tailor shop and a vase
line bottle of nitro glycerine was found
in the mattress of bed in the cell of
Kuykendall, who was killed in yester-
days break. 1t is believed that Kuy-
kendall manufactured the nitroglycer-
inc. The prisoners who made the at
tempt to escape are now all confined in
the dungeon.
