Dolly caatie Injured 81 Lion

While putting a group Of three
lions thru final rehearsal at the
winter quarters Of the Il. ". Camp
bells Shows at Moultrie, Georgia,
last week, Mrs. Dolly Castle, well
known animal trainer, formerly with
Rhoda Royal and many other attrac-
tions, and last season with the Con
T. Kennedy Shows, was attacked by
Dewey, the male and largest of the
group. The beast sprang at Mrs.
Castle from a distance of about four
feet and catching her right arm in
his mouth, bore her to the floor of
the arena. d. w. Calvit, who was
standing near by, began prodding
the lion about the head with a pitch
fork, which distracted its attention
from it's victim, causing it to release
Mrs. Castles arm and allowing her
to regain her feet and back away.
The entire group We're then driven
from the arena into their cage, dur
ing which, procedure Mrs. Castle ex-
hibited great presence of mind, cover
ing from view, as much as possible,
the flow of blood. Upon examination
it was found that the teeth of the
lion had completely penetrated the
woman's arm, but no bones were
broken. 1t was Mrs. Castles first day
with the Campbell Shows and she
was the first lady trainer to work this
group. Barring unforeseen develop
ments, it is thought Mrs. Castles
injuries will confine her to her room
but a few days-Billboard
Dolly Castle is Mrs. C. C. Pratt
in private life, former owners of the
Palm theatre in this city.
