BILLY HOLMES KEPT COOL
WHEN LION MADE ESCAPE;
PREVENTED THEATER PANIC
Lafayette’s “Prince”
Loose in Crowded
Streets.
While everybody within sight of the
great LafayetleV escaped lion was
making a record get-away Saturday
night, Billy Holmes, head usher at tho
, Bijou and a well-known young Atlanta
'man, proved himself a hero.
Had he not kept cool and retained
his presence of mind, the king of beasts
would have sauntered Into the theater,
where a crowd that packed the house
was preparing to leave,
And the presence of the lion among
this crowd would have resulted In
stampede and panic that would prob
ably have been aa fatal ns the Iroquois
Theater dlsaater In Chicago.
Mr. Holmes saw the lion when with
a bound the animal cleared the cage. 80
did several stage hands and they mailu
a break for exlta. Mr. Holmes' first
for the safety of the mass of humunlly
preparing to leave the theater.
Although tho lion woe almost upon
him. he calmly stepped to the door
leading from the stage Into the theater
and closed It. The lion made a dash
for this door, found It closed and then
darted out through the door leading to
Marietta street.
The presence of mind of Mr. Holmes
had blocked the exit that would have
led the beset to a scene ff death and
destruction. Tearing the escape of the
Uon had become known to the audience.
Mr. Holmes then made Ills way Into the
theater and told the people to remain
seated. *
And while Mr. Holmes was proving
himself a hero, Deader Mnthlesen, of
the Bijou orchestra, told his musicians
to play, and they played, knowing the
lion was at large, but not knowing
what tnlnut* the beast might come
ding the bars and restrlctloni of

At the meeting of the Fulton county
grand Jury next Wednesday morning,
action will be taken upon a number of
Important matters.
Among the first matters to be In
vestigated will probably be the case of
Fred Bush, charged with sending an
Infernal machine to the home of Mrs.
Julia McCarthy on Georgia avenue, and
who Is now held In the county Jail
under 310,000 bond on a charge of as
sault with Intent to murder. There Is
much Interest attached to this case and
It will probably be disposed of as early
as possible.
In addition to the Bush rase, the nine
"bucket shops" cases are .awaiting ac
tion. There were ten of these cases
originally, but one was used as a lest
of the Boykin law, and the supreme
court last week afllrmed the action of
the lower court In Imposing a fine of
31,000 upon tho‘defendant. The Indict,
ments against the other men charged
with operating "bucket shops" will be
prepaYcd by the time the grand Jury
meets Wednesday.

A pattern that pleases by its simplicity.
Our “solid”' flatware is not solid silver. It is not a plated
ware. It is made especially for us of a composition metal
which has the appearance of solid silver and of the same ma
terial all the way through.
Each piece is guaranteed never to wear off or show a dark
metal underneath, as plated ware invariably does. \
It can be polished when necessary just as any sterling
silverware is polished.
The prices are remarkably low for a table ware which
has all the merits that can be credited to this.
