LION ,cAREssEs CHILD.
Fierce Beast Licks the Hand Of
Three-Year-Old Girl.

PITTSBURG. Pa. September g.
Springing at the child as it did when it
killed three men and one woman. COMA,
the most feared lion at the Highland
Park Zoo, yesterday caused wild ex-
element when Lena Neck, three years
old, placed her hand in the savage mon
ster's cage and he jumped toward the
babe. Women in the crowd watching the
beast screamed. several of them fainting,
and men turned their faces, fearing to
see the child mangied by the animal.
Keepers of the zoo rushed to the scene
and stood stupened for an instant when
they saw the lion affectionately licking
and paving the hand of the little girl.
However, they soon caught the child and
took her out of harms way. A remark
able instance of the affair is that but
a few moments before the lion had tried
to break the heavy bars of his cage in an
effort to reach another beast with which
1t had had a quarrel.
The animal several years ago killed
three of it's guards, and while with a
sideshow at an amusement park broke
away and killed a woman.

o. E. Kenyon, we'll known here as
the owner of the Schmidt ranch one
of the finest in the country, received

Orlando E. Kenyon, millionaire

ACTIVITY AT THE BIG MILL
Prospect Good for an Active Years Run
Railroad Extension

The new engine for the Wenatchee
Valley and Northern railway was shipped
from Philadelphia on the 9th OF March
and should be here by the 18th of this
month. A large shipment Of rails is
also on the way which will be used in
extending the road beyond the Che
wawa river this summer. Manager
Mackay says the track has been ex-
tended into the mill yard from the
west end and that a round house will
be built near the track scales to house
the engines of the company in. Sew
eral logging spurs will be built this
summer on the Chewawa river exten-
sion for the more economical handling
of logs.
From six to dozen loads of logs are
now coming in every day, almost
enough to keep the mill, which is now
running full blast, going. Quite lot
logs remained over in the pond from
last year, SO that there is not likely to
be shortage of logs before the new
engine arrives. The new engine, which
is Of heavy type, is expected to bring
in from fifteen to twenty loads every
trip. The old engine will be used in
construction work and for the purpose
Of assembling cars from the logging
spurs. Altogether, with the increased
demand for lumber, which is confident
ly looked for, the Lamb-Davis Lumber
Co. expects to have a very busy
summer.
The box mill and the planning mill
is running on full time. The former
piling up boxes in anticipation of the
summer rush for fruit boxes.

of fifteen cars Of lumber every week.
