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 "BILLY" HOLMES. Head usher at the Bijou, who closed tho door In tho face of Mr. Dion and saved the audience front panic. mere man Saturday night, about 10;31 o'clock, “Prince,” a splendid four-year old Numlillan lion. Incited the fiercest panic of fright in the business heart ot Atlanta that even the oldest InhaW tnnts could muiter out of hla memory halls. Prince" Is a great tawny chap used by the Oreat Lafayette In hla show at the Bijou last week. He Is employed In one of the transformation ecence, and Saturday night In shifting hltn from one end of the cabinet to the othj", somebody left a bar loose. Prince 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.
