Apropos to the coming of the great Buff
falo Bill Wild West, few lines regarding
one of the advance representation may
not be amiss. 1t was while over in Bel
gium during the past year that Burt ].
Conn, of Van Vert o.. for several years
a trusted employe of the Barnum q Bailey
show, had an opportunity to prove himself
the hero that he really is. 1t was during
the evening performance while an ele-
phant race was taking place in the arena
that small child, having strayed from
the careless nurse, was seen crossing the
track The scene was one Of terror. Thou
sands of voices went up In warning, but
all were too terror-stricken to go to the
rescue. On came the ponderous animals!,
People closed their eyes to shut out the
horrible sight, when with shout a 1.-the
lmbed young man sprang over the ropes
and amid the deafening cheers of the now
frantic audience, rushed fairly in front
of the beasts and grasping the child by the
arms jumped aside in time to avoid what
had seemed sudden death. Returning The
child to the thoroughly frightened nurse
the young man walked away. seemingly
unconscious of the fact that he had saved
a precious life. The next day the parents
of the rescued child called on the young
man and offered him large rewards, which
we're refused. But the father not to be
outdone and feeling that he owed debt
which he could never repay, had made the
necessary arrangements and had given
the young man the title of the Count of
Celder Walsen, together with an estate.
Mr.. Conn returned to this country last fall
Z count, but the same Burt Conn as Of old.
>re will be In the city Monday In the inter-
y Of the big Wild West show.
