Bleeding Wound
Endonsers Lion
Tanner At loris

Lion Tanner Gus Gossing
narrowly escaped death in
Loris Saturday afternoon
when he suffered painful
knee injury during the grand
finale of his show, the Inter-
national Lion Arena, presented
at the High School Athletic
Field under auspices OF the
Loris Rescue Squad.
Few spectators realized the
danger that resulted when
Gossing, jumping over the
methodist Jungle lion to
leave the arena, gashed his
knee on the iron-bsr door Of
the cage and began bleeding
freely. Z
The knee injury. painful and
requiring four stitches. was
dangerous because of the flow
ing blood. which makes even
trained lions react.
After treatment at Loris
Community Hospital the in
trepid Belgian lion tanner went
back Saturday night TO put
on the final show In Loris.
