Ths Great sysa,eais Shows.

Monday was circus day IN Deita ana
consequently quite large crowd was in
town from the surrounding country.
At 10 o'clock q. m. Main street was
pretty vol filed with people to witness
tho grand parade which passed half
hour later, and gave entire satisfaction
TO the majority Of people.
The wind begun blowing just about
noon, however, which increased in vsloc
ity until about the tims for the show
to begin. After the large tent had be-
come pretty well filed, one of the large
csnter poles broke and the tent was
wrecked, several persons were slightly
bruised and three ladies' were quite bad
ly hurt. Mrs. Boss, Mrs. DR.. F. NJ. Kel-
say and Mrs. Ell. Smith were the thrce
who were hurt, and wore conveyed TO
their homes and medical aid secured.
It was at first feared that Mrs. Boss,
mother Of Mrs. DR.. Ke!say. had = frac-
tured skull, but later Developments. af-
tor examination. showed it to be concus-
siou Of the brain. At last reports all
wsre getting along nicely.
Atp0f tue tent uSu Ooon uouoibu0u,
sll Of the canvas was taken down and
the show proceeded with its entertain
ment in the shape OF an open -free-for
all who had not already purchased tick
cts. Those who saw part OF the per-
formance thought that il the tent had
not blown down a very creditable en-
tsrtainmsnt would have been given.
Marshal Barker had several assistants
and perfect order prevailed throughout
the day. Said he "you can just say that
they wore just a. straight set OF show
people as ever saw. One or two cases
of short change was reported to me, one
Of which I rectified and the other l
could have done so had not the man
been pretty full and would not listen.
But on tho whole everything won't OF
straight. One young man reported that
he had his pockets picked Of q watch
sad go, but I don't think he lost the
money"
In the evening the wind did not sub
side in time to erect the tents, 90 the
night performance was not undertaken.
