Daily Republican, Rushville, Indiana, October 13, 1921.

The Horne Zoo was roughly on the north side of today's Truman Road east of Noland a bit.

If I can recall correctly from other reading, the leopard was never seen again.

Houston Herald, Houston, Missouri, December 8, 1921.

Assuming that this was the escaped leopard, he or she was 180 miles southeast of the Horne Zoo.

Whoa- this is horrible. Those poor beasts. Insurance money or...what? This one is puzzling because someone killed all of those animals before the fire.

That $150,000 loss would be equivalent to $2,050,000, today. The police department probably had less than ten men back then, none of whom would have been a good investigator. I think this zoo was just outside the city limit at the time. The sheriff's department would have been about in the same boat. The zoo owner died two years later in 1924. It appears that his wife then took over. She was still managing in 1931.

Kansas City Journal, May 29, 1895.

This is the wooden bridge over the RR via Lynn Street between Walnut and Short. Looking towards the RR from Walnut street does look like Lynn goes up a couple feet. The bridge was torn down in the fifties and not replaced.
