Brooklyn. where many families have
been compelled to double up" in high

OF privacy is compelling many of these
persons to purchase small apartments Of

UNKNOWN ANIMAL
IN BARNES CIRCUS

When the Barnes circus was in
Richmond Friday evening, August
IL, many people gathered wonder
ingly around cage where an I'm
known animal was shown. The
name of the kind or family Of ami
mails to which this captive creature
belongs is not known to any one
connected with the circus, al
though 1t has been carefully
studied.
The head and mouth Of this ami
NAL, which came from African
jungles, exactly resembled that of
a lioness. It's body was very like
that of a cheetah, but it was decor
rated with black spots as is a
leopards skin. Many, many peo-
pie who have studied animals
closely have seen this animal but
cannot place 1t in any known spe-
cies of animals.
Men of the circus who had taken
care of this animal said that it
is very fierce
A prize of $500 was offered by
the circus management to anyone
who could tell to what family of
animals this strange creature be-
longs.
