Circus Animals Die in Fire.

Gasoline Torch Explodes and Destroys Camels, Elephants and Bears.

     A circus train arrived in Pawnee City, Neb., late the other night. Early the next morning one of the animal-keepers went through the elephant cars to see that all was right, when the gasoline torch which he carried exploded and the entire car was immediately in flames and all the animals were burned. Four camels, three elephants, two sacred cattle and a black bear perished. The loss is estimated at about $30,000, with no insurance.
