THE ESCAPED LIONNESS.
Press Association —Copyright Sydney, January 20,
Only one lioness gained freedom. She severely mauled three horses. A party hunted her all _ night without success. Her trail was picked up yesterday and traced to a farm, where she was found attacking a cow. Shots were fired at her, and she left her prey. Two men, Yeitch and Maloney, pursued her and fired, when the lioness turned and charged like a thunderbolt. Both men dodged round a tree and dropped their guns. The lionness caught Yeitch by the arm, but let go after inflicting slight injuries. Maloney meanwhile picked up his gun and fired, killing the animal instantly.
