This was the frequent story of circus life
a quarter of a century ago. 1t is also to
some extent the story of circus life today,
for in place of the small aggregations that
were crushed out or purchased by the Ma
poleons of showdom numerous others have
come into existence during the last twelve
months. One of these, known rs Wallace's
circus, had a tough time of it not long ago at
Mahanoy City, Pa. A lot of ticketless peo-
pie tried to force their way into the evening
entertainment. The doorkeepers resisted,
and were overpowered. On gaining adj
mission the rioters attacked the performers,
md went SO far as to seize one of the fe-
male members of the company and drag
her about the ring. The usual battle fol-
lowed. 1t grew so fierce that the showmen
threw away their clubs and brought their
pistols and guns into use. They fired at
least fifty shots, drove the crowd back and
made their way to the depot. Some stood
guard while the others loaded the train.
AS the last employe jumped aboard the
crowd made a fresh rush, but were 'stood
off" with Winchesters, and the engineer
pulled out to the music of rife balls and
the disagreeable whiz of bulkier but less
deadly missiles. A dozen townsmen were
wounded, at least three seriously. The cas-
ualties among the visitors are not Known.
Whisky has been directly responsible for
some of the hardest circus fights on record.
Back in the late sixties Noyes' show exhib-
tied at Jacksonville, Tex, and during a
subsequent disagreement his men killed
four of their assailants. This was 'laid up
agin" all show people, and when Robinson
visited the town in 1878 trouble followed.
At the afternoon performance a drunken
man who had seated himself on the ring
bank was elected. Things looked so omi-
nous that at the close of the entertainment

Robinson decided to pack up INC get out
while it was yet daylight. A mob gathered
and showered the strangers with abuse.
The boss canvasman asked his employer
what to do. Let 'em cuss all they want
to-" replied Robinson, "but if any of EN-
shoot give 'em the best you've got" The
contingency arose about 4 p. III. Some one
fired, and the circus men who carried car
bines, promptly replied. lie battle lasted
until midnight, and during it's progress
twenty-three persons were killed and more
than twice that number wounded.
Dan Rice, the veteran clown, who has
recently returned to business as the pro.
prietor of a small "old time'' show, once
exhibited in Il southern village with dis
astrous results. Two intoxicated loafers
tried to get admission without paying. An
alteration followed and then Il riot, in
which four men lost their lives, while a
score received more or less serious injuries.
But it is by no means the casa that the
fault for these deadly always
lies with residents If the places visited.
Only too often the circus people AVE suf-

to his assistance. Then he entered the
tent with his wife and children. While

ing regions that the circus has met up''
with serious trouble. College towns lave
been the scenes of many a rumpus because
of the propensity of the students to ''horn
the show" and drown all other noises with
the hideous din of their tin trumpets. In
deed, many veterans dread an exhibition
at a "seat of learning far more than they
do at some rough outpost of civilization.
That they have ample justification for this
fear is shown by the recent experience OF

named Ludwig Knodle, we'll TODD and
a mar generally considered quite intel
ligent, killed himself, or was killed, at
his farm, about fourteen miles from
here. He has lately been laboring un-
der the impression that he had done
something wrong while serving on the
last grand jury in this county and that
the result would be his serving a term
in the p~enitentiary. He took a double
barreled shotgun to the field, claiming
that it was for the purpose of killing
gophers. A short time afterwards his
body was found in the field with a large
hole blown in the head, the charge en-
tering under his chin. His clothing had
ignited and entirely burned from the
body, leaving it in a fearful shape, all
charred and blistered.

DRAGGED HER ROUND THE RING,

cage triumphant over a decrepit king of
beasts, and tinsel p%ageantry and noise
abounded. The lightning ticket seller be-
gan operations at noon. The sideshows,
fakirs, lemonade stands, wheels of fortune
and so on did a rushing trade for a couple
OF hours, and b the circus itself monopo-
LIKED all attention. The audience laughed
at the clown, %applauded the tumblers, held
their breath as the trapeze artists did their
act, and incidentally stuffed the elephant
and monkeys with peanuts. But every
body went home impressed by the idea
that there existed a large discrepancy be-
tween the show as advertised Inc the show
as given. Those who attended the night
performance included a gang of laborers
from the new railroad who were filled with
malt and spurious liquor and an infamed
resolve not to be swindled. AS the mo-
ments passed they protested, first to them
selves, then audibly and then in trumpet
tones. The peaceably minded took warn
ing and departed, their womenkind scurry-
ing on ahead like a flock of frightened
quail. The town constable, who had a
lively appreciation of what was good for
his health, went to bed.
Meanwhile, inside the tent, the ring
master had been struck behind the ear with
an overripe tomato, which upset his dignity
and trickled down, or his we'll worn dress
suit. The LADY equestrienne," as the pro-
gramme termed her, succumbed to the
joint remonstrances of an egg and a cab
bage, and with her trained Arabian courser
fled to the dressing room.
"Hey, Rubey'
1t was the owner of the circus who ut
tered the war cry. He had scented trouble,
and having locked the cash receipts in the
treasure wagon and seen the vehicle start
ed for the next stand in custody of a trust
ed driver, stood ready to do battle.
"Hey, Rube!"
In rushed the canvasmen, the athletes
and every male employee of the show, each
armed with a mallet, a stake or a club.
"Git, nowp' was the order to the disturbers,
and they quailed and fled before the men,
acing and motley array. Then six brawny
fellows were told off to guard the fright.
ened women performers and escort them be
yond the danger line. The rest fell to work
at once. The tent came down on the run.
The animal cages were closed, all the bag.
gage and properties packed, the horses put
to, and the procession started. BY this
time the protesting laborers had rallied
and saluted the fleeing enemy with showers
OF stones. The fracas lasted an hour or 80.
