North Vernon Host To Lions, Monkeys Indiana Town Happy Animals Reclaimed North Vernon. Ind., Aug. 5 — (Vl’i North Vernon residents returned to tamer and less expensive pursuits today after playing hosts to three uninvited Hons and two monkeys for almost a week. A carnival company pulled out of town last Saturday after the annual Jennings county fair and left the animals behind. "There we were.” said Police Chief Eugene Vance, “with three hungry lions and two chattering monkeys on our hands." • They began to get hungry about noon Saturday." Vance said. "The carnival people left a young negro boy to look after the animals. He had just a dollar in his pocket " But the residents of thia small railroad and agricultural town upheld the standards of Hoosier hospitality. They started a campaign to feed the lions and the monkeys. "Meat Is expensive." said Vance, "but we gathered up all the scraps we could from the butcher ghops and from homes. Those Hons ate like kings." He said they fed the monkeys bananas, peanuts and ice cream. "They had the time of their lives." he said. "Somebody was always carrying them around town . on their shoulders." The town’s younger set visited , the fairgrounds dally to gape at the Hons in their cages. I "Everybody was out there." said I Vance "Nearly everyone gave the boy a quarter or half a dollar. He ate well, too." , By Tuesday, however, the drain on North Vernon's meat and peanut supply was a little heavy. Vance said he decided the carnival wasn't going to come hack for its zoo. "I decided to turn the animals ■ over to the state conservation de- • partment." he said. “Our game warden. Alvin Harding, was going to • find out If the state wanted them." f "I even thought about giving r them to the local theater," he said. "The manager said he'd book a Frank Buck picture and the Hons • would make good publicity." r Last night, when meat wax get--1 ting scarcer and the Hons’ appe • tites improved, a representative of the carnival appeared with a truck ' to get the lions and monkeys. 1 "They never did explain why • they left them.” Vance said. But 1 it probably wax due to the high ’ coat of living. Those animals sure • ould stow the food away." i TRUMAN LASHES ’ K’ont From Page One) ed of giving information to a Soviet spy ring.
