POSSES CLOSE
In ON LION HUNT

WITH THE LION HUNTING
POSSES. KENYON. o., oct. 3.-Flrst
firing in the lion hunt came today
when Cliff Bailey. Ohio National
Guardsmen shot at the two beasts
who have been terrifying the district
in the woods near Mount Victory.
Bailey and his party had tracked
the animals to watering hole on the
A. p. Nave farm near where they
were first seen. A tremendous roar
answered his shot as the lions
streaked into the woods.
Posses closing in on the beasts
discovered bloodstained paw tracks.
How the lions came into this part
of the country is almost as much the
topic Of conversation as the lion hunt
Itself. Some persons believe the
beasts escaped from a circus and yet
no such escapes have been reported
in recent months. 1t was pointed
out the lions might have Travelled
hundreds of miles to reach the woods
of this district.
