SAVAGE BEAST DRAGGED FROM
THE PHOSPHATE TRAINERS
BODY BY ITS TAIL.
FIGHTS BEAST IN NARROW CAGE
Flies at Her in Rage When About to
Be Punished for Dlsobedience-ls
subdued by Repeated Blows
With Heavy Iron Bar.

New York, Jan. 10.-In a fight with
a half-tamed leopard, which she was
training for exhibition purposes, Mile.
Pauline Russelle, of No. 20S East
Twelfth street, owner of a troupe of
performing animals, was so badly bit
ten and clawed that, at the Bellevue
hospital, where she was taken after
the encounter, her condition is said to
be very serious.
Mile. Russelle, who is SO years old,
was saved from death by the prompt
action of Harry Hendrickson, an as
sistant, who reached through the bars
of the cage and pulled the leopard
away from the PROSTATE trainer by it's
tail, at the same time keeping the ami
mails head turned away from the wo-
man by repeated blows with a heavy
iron bar.
Mile. Russelle entered the cage to
put three leopards, which she bought
few months ago, through the tricks
she had planned for her exhibition.
The largest of the animals, Clayton,
snarled at her when she commanded
him to mount chair, and became
uglier when she cracked her whip at
him.
Mile. Russelle then drove the other
animals into an adjoining cage and
turned to ask Hendrickson to get her
an iron bar to punish Clayton.
AS she turned, the leopard sprang
at her shoulders and bore her 10 the
floor of the cage. 1t then turned her
body over with a blow from its paw
that tore large piece of Nile Rus
selle's scalp from her head, and at
tempted to sink its teeth in her throat.
Hendrickson rushed to the side of
the cage, where he succeeded in grasp
ing the animals tail, which he hitched
around bar of the cage.
With one hand he held the leopard
to one position in the cage, while he
pounded it repeatedly on the head and
nose with the iron bar in his other
hand.
Suffering from the blows and prods
of the iron, the leopard released the
woman and sought to- escape punish
ment by putting its head between it's
legs.
Mile. Russelle had revived suffi-
ciently to craE wi to the door of the
cage.

A WOMAN DOCTOR
Was Quick TO See that Coffee was
Doing the Mischief.

A lady tells Of bad case of coffee
poisoning and tells it in way so sim
pie and straightforward that literary
skill could not improve it.
Il had neuralgia headaches for II
years" she says, and suffered untold
agony. When l first began to have
them l weighed 40 pounds, but they
brought me down to 10. l went
to many doctors and they gave me
only temporary relief. So | suffered
on, till one day a woman doctor told
me to use Postum. She said looked
like | was coffee poisoned.
so l began to drink Postum and |
gained 10 pounds in the first few
weeks and continued to gain, but NOT
so fast as at first. My headaches be-
gan to leave me after l had used
Postum about two weeks - long
enough to get the coffee poison out OF
my system.
Since began to use Postum can
gladly say that | never know what a
neuralgia headache is like any more,
and it was nothing but Postum that
made me well. Before used Postum
never went out alone; l would get
bewildered and would not know which
way to turn. Now l go alone and my
head is as clear as a bell. My brain
and nerves are stronger than they
have been for years"

Oscar H. Lipps, supervisor of Indian

MuskOgee Sunday, and has relieved
Superintendent Benedict, pending the

der direction of Secretary Ballinger in
an investigation made for the purpose
of ascertaining the conditions of the
Indian schools in the five civilized
tribes, which are under Benedicts SUI

The preliminary reports of the two
inspectors charge that Superintendent
Benedict, who has been connected
with the Indian service ten years, has
permitted his schools to fall into a
"disgraceful condition.. and that the
supervisors have neglected their du-
ties in the enforcement of school con-
tracts and in matters affecting the ma

was president of a bank of which the

existing here on the subject. The
