KIONESS KILLS KEEPER; Is
SLAIN

WOODBURY. N. J.May 2-This
town was wildly excited yesterday
afternoon. A lioness killed her keep
ser and excaped from her cage.
posse of men and boys, with sticks,
guns and stones, chased the animel
through patch of woods, and finally
killed her.
Women ran into the streets, grab
bed their children, carried them into
their homes and locked themselves In
their cellars. Storekeepers locked
their shops. Word was sent to the
schools not to dismiss the pupils while
the search for the lioness was made.
More than a hundred shots were
fred at the animal. Some of the cir
Gus men managed to kill the beast,
firing a dozen bullets into her head
Asnd heart after she had been cornered.
Lucy, as the lioness was known,
was one of side-shows attractions
with Cook Brothers Circus, exhibit
Ing in the town She and her three
weeks-old cubs were occupying a cage
in a tent, not far from the large one
in which were several hundred men,
women and children witnessing the
show.
John Henry "a lion tanner, went in
to "Lucys" cage to clean it. He chas
ed the mother lion into one section of
the cage, closed but did not lock the
iron door, and began to play with the
cubs. The lioness threw herself
against the door, burst it open, leaped
upon the tanner and broke his neck
when she shut her jaws upon him.
Attendants in the tent yelled for
help and tried to get the infuriated
lioness to release her grip on Henry's
neck. With iron bars, hooks, tent
poles and other implement they beat
off the lioness. She jumped from the
cage.
A general scramble to get away
followed TIL crowd ran screaming
toward the center of the town, shout
ing "a lion has escaped"
The lioness ran into a clump of
woods, where she was killed.
Henry was thirty years old, and
lived at Newburgh. Ne was recent
ly discharged from service.

Early Use Of Coal in Barbour

+. D. Koontz, Notes S. M. ID. Koontz
Adam Coontz began the use of
coal as fuel in 1868-whieh was dug
from 3 fl. vein on what is known
as Stone Coal, branch of Sugar
Creek. Up to this time there had
been but little coal used in Barbour
County except for smithing purposes.
For several years on knob known
as "Chick Hill" slate and rotten
coal outcrop had been noticed--the
neighbors all pronounced it just rot
ten coal but Adam and his son Sam
uel finally decided to dig into it and
find out. In short time good coal
was found and soon nine foot vein
was opened up. Coal has been dug
for the use of many families from
this vein since--it was the Pittsburg
vein and embraces an area of about
three acres! A main heading has
been driven and thousands of tons
taken out but there are still thous-
ands of tons there for the future gen.
erations, This coal shows in two
other knobs near by as we'll as on
what is known as the Right Hill and
the Alph Moore Hill Though the
coal is not of such a fine grade as
at the first named place.
Burning of Wagon Train
E. D. Koontz, Notes s. M. D. Koontz
Maxwell's history of Barbour
County mentions the fact that Gem
eral Imboden sent Captain Hill into
Barbour County on Nov Is, 1868 to
wayiay wagon trains but he does
not mention the result of the raid.
Captain Hill stationed his men in the
dense woods along the pike at what
is known as the Brown woods and
where the Valley Bend Church now
stands. When the wagon train CON
sisting of thirty odd wagons came
up Captain Hill stepped from his hid
ing place blew a whistle and his
gray clad warriors emerged from
the woods Captain Hill had halted
the front wagon as each wagon stop
ped drivers began to peep out to see
what the trouble was, one driver ex-
claimed in his excitement "God. look
at the prisoners our men have" an
Irish driver replied, prisoners hell
Look at their guns" The horses
were hastily cut loose from the wag-
ons and collected together, drivers
and guards were assembled The
wagon train with its valuable cargo
was burned and the retreat with pris-
oners and horse begun, back to Con
federate headquarters. During the
the retreat "Reb and Yank" grew
rather chummy and some Federal
soldiers ventured to offer some of the
Rebels drink of whiskey, being
questioned as to where he had Sc
cured it, he related that a wagon
load of tn stuff" was destroyed in
the train. In reply to the question
as to why they had not informed
them the Yankee replied they were
afraid of drunken soldiers.
Captain Hill and his company
reached Confederate headquarters in
safety with prisoners and booty
having accomplished the mission he
was sent to perform.

DAYS NEWS SENDS
CORN PRICES LOWER
We ather, Traction Situation and
Race Riots Have Depress-
ing Effect on Market

Chicago, July Moisture in parts
of the belt. together with paralysis of
traffic on the traction lines and race
riots, had depressing effect on corn
here today. The volume Of business was
smaller. The start was firmer, but
realizing sales caused a reaction, which
was helped by a sharp break in quota
tions for hogs. and private advices re
ported rains in Illinois. Indiana. Iowa
and Missouri
Longs rcinstated their lines on the
setback. rs the crop remained in a
critical condition over large part OF
rho belt. Shorts also covered. The
rallics were not maintained, and final
prices were lower for distant months.
Stoppagc Of trading of wheat at Win
nipcg had an unscttlnS effect. The rank
and hlc continued bulliSh but exercised
moro caution on the buying side. owing
TO increased economic unrest over pres
ent price levels.
Oats lost ground. owing to heavy sell
ing BY eastern house and liquidation Of
long holdings for profits. \ feature of
the session was buying "f December
against sales of September, by lead
ing concern which was supposed to be
shifting n long line. Trading lacked
suap. Large supplies of old oats served
to offset shrinkagc in the new crop.
cspccially as the demand for the cash
article was lifeless with the movement
of the new grain at hand.
