KING OF JUNGLE"
HAS TOOTH PULLED
Eight Men Besides Dentist Are
Required to Make Lion Give
Up a Molar.

New York, June 19.--Extraction of a
iion's tooth becomes laborlous when IL
requires eight men for the operation
besides the man who pulls the tooth.
This was an incident at Coney Island
yesterday when Ven Dredei, a large
African lion, was relieved OF one OF
his largest teeth because Of toothache,
by DR.. Henry Hamling. jr, a New York
veterinarian. The lion had been in III
temper for several days and refused to
eat.
When a lion refuses to eat food Ii is
a positive indication that the animal is
suffering from something of an agrees
sive nature. When the attention of the
image was called to the strange be-
havior of the lion he knew at once
from his years of association with wild
animals that II was suffering from
t~oothache. In order to make an ex-
animation and extract the tooth the
animal had TO be roped, to do which
required the services of eight men
Ropes were thrown aroun the differ
ent parts of the animals body, includ-
ing his legs and In this helpless con!
dition the lion was pulled to the bars
of it's den. With a stick it's mouth was
pried open until a pair of pliers were
inserted behind the teeth so he coult
not close his mouth, when the tooth
was pulled. A pair OF forceps was used
for the removal of the tooth, which had
liberated at the root, and must have
caused the lion much suffering.

man for a long time did assaying
work in California nj he noticed that
some of the dirt that was coming out
of the hole resembled very closely the
honeycomb quartz which he used TO
work over.
Out of curiosity he gave some OF
the most likely pieces to his son, AL
bert Stillman. a student in the Column
bia School of Mines, who had IL as
sayed and found that the specimens
would pay $3.50 worth OF gold to the
ton. Many mines are run with dirt
that pays only 50 and 81 a ton, but
the land is cheap and the supply gem

RACING MAGNATES ARE
OFF THEIR FEET, OWING
TO ANTl-GAMBLlNG LAW

New York, June 19.-The unsettled
condition of racing in New fork has
caused horsemen to consider as OF SUI
preme Importance the plans of race
tracks which have meetings to follow
the Gravesend races. II is assured that
the Brooklyn Jockey club, under the
direction of +. j. Dwyer, will furnish
its meeting without the reduction of
purse values. but a cut in the value OF
the Sheepshead stakes is generally ex-
pected, though the Sheepshead stakes
will be run as they have been an
nounced. The matter of value Of purses
at Sheepshead Bay will be decided at q
meeting of the governors of the Coney
Island club this morning, and the ex,
pectation that added money for over
night races will be reduced on an av-
erage of a little more than 81, 900 each
to about 5000 each. The Brighton
Beach Racing association also came In
for much attention from the horsemen
in view OF ircular letters that the as
ISOLATION has prepared for the nomina-
ton Of horses engaged In stakes at
Brighton Beach.
