This has been a terrible day to attemp
to get about. Quite a number of people
have fallen.
THURsDAY.-The most notable feature
of local experience to-day was grand
street parade given by show troupe
The scene was intended to represent
"Davy Crocket" in his native wild, among
fierce animals and fercer men. The 'pro-
cession" consisted of a band organized
here for the show. The boys marched
along playing Some Day I'll Wander
Back Again" This was so prophetic
that the boys concluded they would not
go. The show is good one, It's said.
The rest of the procession consisted of an
express-wagon, in which sat old "Crocket'
himself, represented by a young man with
brown paint smeared on his face, and
wearing buckskin suit. He held, by
chains, four of the most fierce and blood
thirsty animals ever seen in civilization.
They were continually trying to leap from
the wagon-some people believing that
they wanted to devour some of the small
boys, others that they wanted to make a
lunch off an old boot lying in the street.
There was warm discussion as to what
they were: They're coonsw said one
man. "Haw, greeny, don't ye know a
musrat when We see it ?" replied another.
Cant fool me!' said an old gentlemen
'Tve smelt 'em too often. Them's pole
cdtsp' mo, they're fones" declared an
other. THEY'RE shepherd dogs" Dogs
indeedi them's Rocky Mountain Jobber-
wocksr' said an old plainsman, while
youth fresh from his books declared they
were spider monkeys" Notwithstand-
ing all this worry. the brave "Crocket"
held the fierce animals and the procession
marched about town until the cymbals
froze together and the music was done
for. The animals were coyotes, or prairie
wolves-the most cowardly animal i'm
aginable. Any little boy could have
switched them out of town, yet the brave
Snowman risked his life with the fierce
animals in the most reckless manner.
Such a procession had never been seen
since Dave Warren quit the Squizzarink-
tum business ..... Mr.. E. M. Davis, of

cutting and putting up ice. The ice is

fun. In fact, it seems to take lots of fun
to cut ice. -. The show gave an exhibi-
tion at the Rink, dividing proceeds with
the Knights of Labor. :. :. Mrs Harding, |
who fell and broke her arm a short time
ago, is able to go out doors some, though |

house, he inquired if bud" had dog, |
and was informed that he had not. When I
Harrel came in to pay his taxes, 10, there

now is, whose dog he has paid the tax on.
