With plenty Of money, he lived I'm luxury

AS the menagerie grew it became Col.

and in the endeavor to train them in the
performance Of a multitude Of tricks. He
knew nothing of fear, although possess

presence Of this strange family soon got
abroad, and the homestead was looked on
with curiosity by the general public. ami

the small boys who used to creep to the
fence to experience the flsation that
would shake their small frames on hear

One of the Englishman's eccentricities.
and one that brought him into disfavor
with the authorities. was his failure TO

roamed large numbers Of the canine and

Only at the last session of the assize
