Trainer eaten by lions in a car near Chicago
In Chicago on June 22 five young lions from the act Adgie and Her Lions maul their trainer Dietrich in a box car on a Santa Fe siding. Dietrich, 25, had ignored warnings from fiancée Bettie and former keeper George McCord to keep away. The lions, Teddy among them, attacked as McCord prepared to defend him. Dietrich was killed and eaten after entering the cage to tidy the den. The act, planned for July shows, had Dietrich's romance with Miss Adgie Castillo and his dream of taming animals.
