International News Service. Â Paris, July 13. — Louis Juge made each night “the Circuit of Death.” Â Which is to say he rode a bicycle around the edge of a cage in which were pacing several mature and ferocious looking lions. Â Small boys voted it the best stunt in the circus.
Opening night of the Paris engagement made Juge nervous. Â Just as he reached full speed the bicycle slipped and precipitated him among the lions. Â His rib broken, he was unable to move.
The crowd was horrified. Â Several women fainted. Â Tremblingly, circus employees went to Jude’s rescue. Â Only the lions, leaving the wounded man considerably alone, seemed bored by the whole affair.
