CAPTURING A LION

While the agent Of Campbell Broth
ers Great Consolidated show, which
viii exhibit in Blackfoot on Wednes.
day, July "a, was in our office recent.
ly. he related story Of the capture Of
an African lion In it's native forest.
Mr.. H. C. Brashear. the purchasing
agent Of the show, made trip to
Africa to try and secure some wild
animals for the menargerie. While
there the natives told him Of male
lion that had evaded capture for four
years. Mr.. Brashear Immediately Of
fered large sum for the capture of
the animal and the natives began at
once to plan how to secure the re-
ward.
First, a large circular pit was dug
about fifteen feet deep and all the dirt
from the excavation was carefully
carried away, as lion is very sus-
picious. The hole was then thorough
ly covered with light brush and grass,
and made to appear as if the ground
had never been touched. The next
step was to secure some object, temp
ting enough to attract Mr.. Lion to the
place. A live lamb was brought, and
hung by strong cord from the limb
of tree that reached out over the
covered pit All these preparations
were made late in the evening.
That night the monarch of the for
est, while stalking for prey, heard
the lamb bleating and made a spring
for it; catching it, Of course the
string broke and the lion and lamb
both went crashing down into the pit.
At daybreak the natives brought a
large net which they threw down over
the lion in the pit. In his rage at
being caught and In his efforts to
claw his way free from the net COW
ering him, he only got more tangled
up in it, till at last he was so thor
oughly enmeshed that the natives had
little trouble in placing him in
strong crate and he was! captive.
The Campbell Brothers thus secured
what is considered to bd the finest
specimen of an African lion in Amer
lea today. Be sure and see him.
