Infant Snatched From Mother’s Arms by Beast in Theater.
Cleveland, Tenn., May 13.-A trained lion which was being exhibited on an open stage here suddenly snatched a baby from the arms of its mother, carried it to the back of the stage, dashed it to the floor and planted both forepaws on the little one’s body.
Frantic witnesses, seizing anything available as weapons, advanced on the lion and diverted its attention while a man snatched the baby up from the stage. The child is so badly injured that it may die. The lion was driven back into its cage.
