Gagged LION RESENTS
BOYS FAMILIARITY

CHESTER. Pa. April 5.-Fire
Chief Allen Hillegas arrived at Sixth
street and Morton avenue yesterday
in time to prevent a real lion hunt
through the streets of the city. A
special car loaded with lions used
in a performance at one Of the local
theatres was on a siding of the
Pennsylvania railroad, and a group
of small boys decided to have some
sport. They Immediately began to
poke the lions with sticks and poles,
and it was not long before the beasts
became so furious that there was
great danger of them breaking the
bars that confined them.
Some of the youngsters had be-
come so daring that they climbed on
the roof of the car and the angered
beasts were making every attempt
to get at their tormentors. Hillegas
lost little time in driving the boys
away from the scene, but it was
some time before the animals were
Quieted.
