ATTACK ON FARMER
(Received November 23, 1 p.m.) PARIS, November 22. Two lions tore up the floor of their cage and escaped from a menagerie at Avignon. One tore a' butcher to pieces in the main street, despite the rescue efforts of a neighbour named Picolet. The lion abandoned its prey and sprang at Picolet, who threw himself down and feigned death. The lion sniffed the body and departed, to the relief of horror-stricken villagers watching from windows. The second lion attacked a farmer named Ywanich, tearing his arm. Ywanich scared.it up a tree by flashing an electric torch in its face.
The police later shot both animals.
