THE EL PASO HERALD: WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24, 1903. PAGE THREE A LION FOUGHT WITH A TIGAR BATTLE FOR LIFE AND DEATH IN ANIMAL SHOW. JVebvj ojF Society Fierce Struggle Between Two Wild Animals That Were Seen Here During the Carnival Last January. A special from Springfield, Illinois, to aii exchange gives the following account of a battie to the death between two of the wild animals of the Gaskill- Mundy carnival company which showed in El Paso last January for the midwinter carnival: A tetrible battle took place last night in the animal show of the Gaskill-Mundy Carnival company between the huge lion Dewey and a tigress, resulting in the death of the latter. The fight occurred just as Colonel Mundy was preparing to give an exhibition of the wild animals.

The lion and the tigress had been on bad terms for some time and it was feared before the exhibition began that trouble would result, but so serious a fight was not anticipated. Colonel Mundy brought the tigress into the large arena and then opened the door of the cage. Dewey, the largest of the lions, immediately jumped from the cage and sprang on the tigress, and the crowd was horrified to witness a terrific battle between the huge beasts. The lion dragged -the tigress slowly into her cage and would have killed her in a few moments if it had not been for the nerve of Colonel Mundy, who entered the.cage and succeeded in separating the-beast after a hard struggle. The was taken to a separate cage surgeon summoned, but she died from her wounds.

story of interest also comes to Tight regarding this show. The following is from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: Johnnie Layton, who has been returned to his parents, Patrick and wife of East St. Louis, after a absence from his home, has told the East St. Louis police a story which convinces them that he was kidnaped by showmen for the purpose of being brought up as a wild boy.

Baker, a negro attache of the Gaskill-Mundy Carnival company, is held in the Belleville jail on the charge of abducting the boy. The charge against him was not made public ujitil he had been removed to East St. Louis, the police feared attempts at violence if the story became generally known. child has told the police that during his captivity he was shut up in cages with monkeys and other wild animals, that his clothing was taken away ami his hair and skin dyed. was taken from the carnival company's camp by Detective Stockton the child showed evidence of having received treatment such as he has since described.

His hands and face were so discolored that he was hardiy recognizable and were torn with deep scratches. The show was about to leave East St. Louis when the child was found and the negro arrested. The police, hearing that the boy was believed to be in the keeping of the showmen, searched the wagons before allowing the troupe to depart. boy was found near one of the wagons.

He displayed such dread of the negro Sylvester and of others around the show that the police, follow ing the suggestion of persons living in the neighborhood, made several arrests. until the terrified child was far from the tents and wagons would he tell of his treatment by the PECOS RIVER IS VERY HIGH AT PECOS CITY.

CHIHUAHUA, June There is being tried before the third section of the supreme court of Chihuahua, in the city of Chihuahua, a most important mining suit involving the boundary line between the and the mines in Minas Nuevas, in the Parral district.

The latter mine belongs to the plaintiff in the case, Sr. E. de la Fuente, and the former to the defendant, Sr. Jose M. Botello, the progressive mine owner and operator of Parral.

The plaintiff asks the cancellation of title to the claiming that it overlaps the ground, and that the initial point of the survey of the latter should begin at a given point on the slope of hte Cerro San Patricio, and the defendant asks that the boundary of his claim should be the north and west by free ground, on the east by the mines of and and on the south by Patricio according to the map accompanying the The matter in dispute seems to be the locus of the two points, whether they were one and the same or whether they are two distinct and sceparate points. The case has been tried and arbitrated by engineers with various results. The court has commissioned Juan Rievero, mining engineer, to report on the case, which he has done most exhaustinglv, with conclusions sustaining the clai mof Sr. Batello, that a stripe of free ground twenty- four meters wide exists between the two claims and there can be no overlapping. The report is too long to go into detail, but this one seems to be the fairest one so far, and if Sr.

views are adopted, decision that may be expected in a few days, will be in Sr. favor. A Million a Month.
