A FEMALE LION-TAMER KILLED
[Pbr Pbkbs Association.] Ddblin, February 3. A horrible accident occurred here today. ■ A female lion-tamer, Senide, placed her head m the mouth of a lion, for the purpose of having a photograph taken m that position. The flash of the camera startled the animal and caused it to close its jaws and worry the woman like a mouse. The unfor- , tunate woman was dreadfully mangled and expired almost immediately.
