LION PRINCE WILL
HAVE A GLASS EYE
His Injured Optic Removed
Yesterday by Dr. C.
H. Epps.
One of tho strangest surgical opera?
tions in the history of modlcul sclenco
took plaoo yesterday morning at tho
Dotitock animal arena, when Dr, Charles
H. Kppa, the local veterinary, removed
the eye of "Prince," the famous neifool
model lion in llonavlta s group, which is
valued nt $20,000.
During one uf tho recent fierce fights,
which tho lions have been engaging in
since tho first of the year, Prince had
tho misfortune to have one of h s ?yes
Injured. At first it was thought, witli
the aid of medical skill, thul It might
be possible to save tho oye und partially
restore the sieht, but after resorting tu
ovary known method to bring about a
restoration, all efforts In this direction
wero abundonod. yesterday morning Dr.
(.'hurles fc*pj?s, with ihn u/mislume of
Director Dostock, Captain I'onuvltti and
Um attendants l'rlnco was lassoed, all
fini tied and lushed to lhe bars of tue
operating caute. and the udiigeious plier?
? itloit of removing the eyo Linll altogether
was eona through, which was Indeed a.
.painful and trying one for tlio au.mal.
Tho dangerous period bus not been
passed, us lliaro are llkoly to be gym?
pathetic symptums, and should theso
develop, ns la often the caso with man?
kind; the ?floatest care will havo tp he
observed to save tho sight of I ho other
eyo. . Bestock s artist lias prepared a
water color drawing of the sound eye
and an o^ler has been plated for a
glass one, and a? soon as the wound hua
sufficiently healod to permit the placing
of the eye. Prince will boar tho
distinction of winning the only glass
ofptlo over mude for a lion. This, of
course, will partially restore the magni?
ficent appearance of the "monarch of the
forest," but will necessarily doci'euae ha
vulue, although the slight defeat will not
bo noticed by the casual observer.
Only those who dea) in an,mala ran
appreciate what this moans to the busi?
ness, as often a sula ' is lost owing to
some defect In the formation of an ani?
mal's eye, and the new method of sub
stltutlnir man's Invention for tho Crea?
tor's work will cause all dealers ui.d
buyers of wild an?mala to look twice be?
fore ?nit chasing.
Dr. Kppa said, when askod about tlio
op?ration: "In all Mv expedience 1 have
never been culled upon to perform a sim.
liar one. and It looks now as If It would
b? a splendid success and a proc?dent
which followeis of my profession can
safely act upon. Tlijs is iiometlilng that
I have orten thought could be done with
other animals, but I never ai earned that
my first effort In this direction would bu
