{BATTLED WITH 'LIONS.
A Terrible Struggle In the Dark With
Untamed “Taxis” Beasts.
ELECTRIC LIGHTS FAILED.
\thu They Did, Three Huge Specimens of
"The King of Beasts" Fell Upon the
Attendant and Nearly Devoured
Him—A Gallant loscue.
SAN FRANCISCO,Fcb. Ill—Carlo Thieman,
attendant at Colonel Daniel Boone’s ani-
mal show at the Midwinter fair, Was at-
tacked by three lions and so horribly man-
gled that he may die. The evening per-
formance had been in progress in Boone’s
arena for about half an hour, and the cir-
cular inclosure was filled with people.
Three huge beasts—Parnell, Romeo and
Commodore-were led into the cage by
Thieman, preparatory to Boone’s en trance.
Suddenly the electric lights went out.
There was a short interval of silence, when
suddenly a shriek of agony came from the
cage, followed by the crunching of ter-
rible jaws and the groans of the man in
the cage. The] “re crowd of spectators
became panic stricken and started for the
doors. \Vomen slirieked and fainted, but
the crowd was finally induced to remain
seated by attendants).
A Gallant Rescue.
Finally lanterns were brought, and there
in the cage lay Thieman with three lions
clawing and munching his prostrate form.
Colonel Boone seized an iron bar and en-
tered the cage. XVit-h shouts and blows
he drove the beasts from their prey and
dragged the unfortunate man from the
cage. The big crowd cheered the brave
act.
Thieman was taken to the receiving hos-
pital, where his wounds, 43 in number,
were examined. By one blow from a lion’s
paw he had been scalped from the forehead
to the nape of the neck. Under each arm
there were terrible bites, where the lions
had attempted to reach a vital spot. One
of them nearly succeeded, for he just
missed a large artery. The man’s legs,
. thighs and buttocks were also bitten and
scratched. At the hospital he recovered
consciousness.
Colonel Boone in speaking of the affair
said, “It has always been my custom to
have lanterns and lamps about the arena
in case the electric lights should go out, as
it is well known that wild animals, no
matter how well trained, will attack a
man in the dark.” The doctors think there
is a possibility of Thieman’s recovery un-
less blood poisoning ensues.
Pelxoto Suspects Lima.
BUENOS Arnns, Feb. 15. —— Advices

ing to secure the separation of the north-
ern states from the republic and of setting

president. Peixoto has ordered that Gov-
ernor Lima. be arrested at the first sign of
disloyalty.

BEA UTIFUL SLEEP
——is an expression used for sound
sleep. Nothing is so gratifying to
the nerves, heart, and head, as per-
fect sleep—a companion of good
digestion and a healthy liver. A
tired digestion fails to assimilate, or
take care of, the food we eat. Some-
thing bracing or invigorating is
needed for the liver, stomach, and
intestines.
This is whcre you will find Dr.
Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets do the
most good. They are tiny, sugar-
coated pills, scarcely larger than
mustard seed, made of concentrated
botanical extracts. These “Pellets”
are easily dissolved in the stomach
and absorhel into the blood, stimu-
lating a flow of bile from the liver,
and ‘aronsin g to activity all the gland—
ular secretions. Thus they act in
nature’s own way.
They’re guaranteed to give satis-
faction, or money refunded, in all
