WE TRAINER ATTACKED
fermions Lioness Sprmqs I'pon (jptain
Barnes in the Animal Tent.
Yesterday afternoon while ('apt. Λ1
t! Barne-s. trainer of wild uni nais
with the New Parker Amusement
company. was engaged in teaching
new tricks the fierce lioness ('car-
ina which is the untamable of the
menagerie sprung at him and ln:
flirted painful injuries on his left
arm.
The animal circus of the carnival
Is located at the southeast corner of
the square. Between two perfor-
mances yesterday afternoon ("apt
Barnes brought the fierce beast to
the caged arena to put her through
a course of Instruction. In the exhi-
bitions for an audience the lions are
worked in small cages but for the
training when there is no audience
they are worked In the big -nrena.
Czarina was brought out and ac-
companied by ('apt. Ray Ward as-
sistant trainer and Mrs. Barnes
trainer of dogs he entered the place
with the forest bred beast. Two or
three maneuvers had been executed
and he believed he was safe with
her. He brought out a pedestal
which he wanted her to mount and
began giving her the instruction.
She crouched as if to spring to the
point designated by his command
and did spring but she cleared the
station at a bound. and flying
through the air struck the trainer
a vicious blow with a huge paw
tearing the left sleeve of his coat
and his sirt and badly lascerating
his arm between the wrist and el-
bow. Capt. Ward and Mrs. Barnes
came to his assistance and the brute
was beaten off.
"I thought she had him by the
throat when 1 saw that spring" said
Capt. Ward. "She was vicious in
the attack and it looked to me like
there would be no slopping her."
"It was all right after we beat her
off" said Capt. Barnes. "Lions are
very peculiar in their attacks. They
can be trained to be the most docile
beasts but there is always the in-
stinct of the animal and the fierce-
ness of the nature to watch for. They
become mad in an instant and in
handling them you must be prepared
for ι h<- attack but t!*«*> quiet ilotn

ΙΊΜΜ ΊιΛΜΛΤΙΟΝ.
Wajtahachie now has many beauti-
ful walks some of which are being
damaged by boys with their tops j
These walks cost money and the :
' 'v'ders should be protected. Wher-;
ever these tops are spun upon the '
cement walks holes are picked that
materially damage the walks. Pa-
rents should instruct their boys that
they must not spin tops upon the
sidewalks. The boys do not realize
the damage they are doing. 1 intend
to ask the council to enact an ordi-
nance that will provide a penalty for
such damage and if found guilty the
penalty muet be paid. if you do
your duty this annoyance and dam- !
age will stop without resort to the·:
officers.

Λ Mistake in Names.
An error in names made the Light
say yesterday that Prof. Jake Embry
was dead when it should have been
his brother Jerry Embry. The death
of Mr. Embry occurred in a sani-
tarium at Llano where he was taken
some time ago to submit to an ope-
ration for appendicitis. He was a
farmer by occupation and resided on
the plantation near Wharton. He
was 3i years old and leaves a wife
and three small children.
The funeral service here yesterday
was conducted by Mr. Chalmers Mc-
! Pherson pastor of the Main Street
ι Christian church

trade carnival under the auspices of

that is to oeeupy tin· pn sent week
In Wuxahaehie
It lieeame evident from the mo-
ment the first canvass was disturbed
to disclose the handsome gold front
of tin» magnificent wagons that the
Xevv Parker Amusement company is
equipped for the amusement purpo-
ses in a proper manner. As the un-
folding of the many attractions pro-
gressed. large crowds gathered and
when tin· Carnival City was in readi-
ness thousands wandered about
among all the shows to view the
scene.
While a large number of the at-
tractions opened yesterday afternoon
the brilliancy of (he carnival week
was first apparent last night. It was
about dusk when the lights were
turned on. The New Parker compa-
ny carries its own light plant. It is
complete in all of its electrical ap-
pointments and the dynamo capaci-
ty is larger than that of an ordinary
town plant it provides lights and
power for all of the attractions on
the grounds. The front of each at-
traction is finished in gold. The dec-
orative work is all hand carving and
upon this is laid gold leaf. Within
this magnificence of gold and car-
ving are set hundreds of electric
lights the brilliancy of which brings
out in full detail all of the art that
is designated by the decorators of
I the great Parker factories. In the
midst of the scene of brilliancy and
gold there was music by the Royal
Italian band mechanical organs
were playing and the large $10000
orchest rion rendered classical anc
popular airs. The entire \>ubll<
square was a scene of activity am
enjoyment. Thousands gatherec
about the many shows and listener
to the interesting explanation ol
every interior by the capable young
men who are lecturers and thous-

passed within the portals. The music
and the brilliancy proved an inspira-
tion to every one to enjoy the gaiety
of the affair and never before has
W'axahachie been given such a bril-
liant carnival opening.

Three llig I'lc c· Acts.
Concerts by the Royal Italian baud
are very enjoyable. The first was
last night on the publie square dur-
ing the early part of the evening
and a good program was given. Sig-
ner F Milani is a fine leader and
his direction of the band in according
to the most exacting in that art.
Leaping the Gap. by Lizette is a
great sensation. This young woman
goes to the top of an incline that
lies at an angle of 75 degrees its
highest point being seventy five feet
in midair. Mounting an ordinary bi-
cycle she rides with the speed of a
bullet until the end of the incline is
reached. Then a leap across a forty
foot space follows and upon the
shorter incline she alights and rides
to safety ropes.
"The Girl from Abilene" is a big
[ feature. There was much interest
in this little woman because the
news had traveled ahead of her that
she was injured in Waco while rid-
ing though the steel loop but the
promise that she would periorm the
act here was made good. She is I
enclosed In a huge wooden ball and \
the novel vehicle is given a push
from the top of a steel incline. It
: gathers momentum as it rides and
I when it reaches the loop it is going
1 at a very fast rate of speed. After
Î making the steel circle it finds a I
resting place in a life saving net. j
The ball is opened and out steps the
brave little woman who faces the j
/l λ η cp rs of the nerilous journey twice)
[daily thai the people may be enter-
tained.
Mechanical Devins.
There are two mechanical devices
that entertain the little folks and
the grown ones as well. The big
Carry-Us-All. constructed at an ex-
pense of $10000 at the factories of
(' W. Parker in Abilene Kan. is
the largest and most complete ma-
chine of its kind in the world. It is
equipped with handsomely carved |
horses and upholstered carriages j
This contrivance has been libérait} ι
patronized b> the old and young

The Ferris Wheel is popular.
Young people who are on spooning
bent find the Ferris wheel an at
tractive place Comfortably ensconc-
ed in the elegantly upholstered car-
riages of this big revolving device

lifeu pleasure together.
This carnival is promoted by the
detail Merchants' Association It is
.in annual affair because the mer
chant- di -ire to have »ome entettain
ment for their patrons of the year
"isitors are here from all sections of j
he county and it is believed that be- I
ore the week has closed there will I
)e thousands from every section. 1
imong those who come to join in '
the pleasure ot the -week. The car- I
nival is open every afternoon and
every evening. During the morning
those who have shopping to do will
have every opportunity to visit the
many stores without missing any of
the shows.
For tile first day in the perfor- f
mance of Sorth America there were
several local bucking horses brought j
nto (he arena and the cowboys rode j
til of these. One big black horse |
celebrated backer Is now fame as
a family driver. Arizona Harry took
the bucking fever out of him yester-
day and finished by riding him with-
out a bridle.
