A wild lion escaped from a circus in Proserpine on Tuesday night prompting a two hour pursuit through town. Veterinary surgeon J Ashton from Mackay finally restrained the animal with a rope and tranquilized it, while vigilant attendants and residents watched in the darkened showyard. The escape occurred as trainer Andrew Sale and a catcher attempted to remove the lion from the arena. The crowd remained unaware of the danger as the animal roamed near the sugar mill yard until recaptured.
