toughs about him and a general assault
on the show was begun LaPearl kept
the people comparatively quiet, but the
performance had to. stop. Finally the
toughs began shooting and the fire was
returned by the show people. The lat

the railroad tracks about the circus

hand and another In the ankle. Young
Born was hit with a stake and his arm
