rheumatism of the muscles or chronic

Powers Of Courts. -
Ito be Continued.)

Indictment Charges Usurpation Of
Powers Of Courts. -.
An investigation of the activities Of
the Ku KluX Klan in AHlieville was
ordered last Friday by Judge Walter
f. Brook, who charged the Superior
Court grand jury in Ashcville, n. c.,
to conduct such an inquiry and re-
turn true bills of indictment against
persons found to have usurped powers
of the courts contrary to law.
The court order was made following
developments in the Recorders Court
where two women who recently for
feited their bonds and tried to evade
appearance In vagrancy charges were
brought back to the jurisdiction of the
court from Saluda by two men acting
as officials but who had 10 authority
from the duly constituted officers, and
whose identity is as yet undetermined.
The second development came when
the case was called FOR trial and law
yers appeared for the prosecution who
stnted that they were employed by l..
L. Fronenburg, when the court insist
ed on knowing the source Of their en-
ployment. FroneEburg, 1t is said, is
the leader Of the Ku Klux Klan in
Asheville.

Animal Trainer Talks Interestingly of

trainer in Vests shows at the Fair
grounds last week, to a. Herald repre-
sentative. AS he talked the trainer
put his hand through the bars and
gently stroked the paw of huge king
of the jungle that slept in its steel
bound cage as innocently as a kitten.
THE average person has an idea,'
continued Capt. Turf that a lions
claws carry a certain deadly poison
and that a. small. scratch is as fatal
as the bite of a rattle-snake. This is
a mistake. The lions claw itself is. not
poisonous. 1t contains no more poison
than a mans finger nail, l,.but it is the
filth their claws pick up that causes
infection ard results in bloodpoison-
ing. There are numerous cases on re-
cord where men have died in few
hours after receiving. scratch from.
a lions claw. If cages were disin-
fected every day there would be no
danger Of contracting blood poisoning
from a lions scratch, but there is a
lot of work connected with a big cir
Gus that moves every day and these
details cannot be attended to. was
with the elder John Sparks, whose
show was here last week, when he
was clawed on the hand by big lion
and died in three days.
No better man ever lived than john
Sparks. His men loved him like
father because he was father to
every man in the circus, from the
stake boy 10 the highest salaried man
in the outfit. He did not sit back in
his private car and read reports. He
was everywhere, looking after the
smallest details, and you never knew
when to expect him. The day he was
wounded ! had charge Of a bunch OF
lions. It was one of those off days
with the, lions when they appeared to
be particularly vicious. , They have
those days just like human beings. Ut
was feeding time and the lions were
hungry A door catch on the cage
was loose and Mr.. Sparks reached up
to examine it, and as he raised his
hand the lion reached out his paw and
struck his hand, tearing the flesh for
several inches.
| don't think the lion meant to hurt
him. I have always had an idea that

he meant to play with the boss. We
always keep a bottle of iodine handy
and Mr.. Sparks got the bottle and
soaked the wound. He bandaged his
hand and went on about his business.
The next day ne was taken i'll. We
sent for a physician and the physi-
clan pronounced it o case of blood
poisoning. We put him on a special
natl, but despite the efforts Of skilled
physicians he died on the third day.
1t just happened that at this particu-
lar time the lions claws were infected
with filth he had picked up in his cage
and the poison got into the blood be-
fore it could be counteracted with the

Gagged animal is poisonous, the same IS
the finger nail. The best way to dis
infect their claws is to let item walk

to the lion family. have been bitten
and clawed by lions, but as luck would
have it there was not filth enough on
their claws at the ltime to set up
blood poisoning. A few weeks ago."
continued Capt. Turf, exhibiting a bad
looking scar on the outside of his
hand "a monkey that has been giving
trouble bit me through the hand. 1
used the iodine treatment and the
hand got well, but believe me [ was
uneasy for several days. A monkeys
bite is poisonous and they are dam
gerous animals with their teeth"
where is the monkey that did the
bitirg?" inquired. The Herald man. A
broad smile overspread Capt. Turfs
face. HE is gone where all bad monk
cys go. I killed him on the spot"
