A yarn is going the rounds of the
press that Robert Bailey, brother of
James A. Bailey, the widely-known
circus man, is coal miner in the
Eastern fields. AS matter of fact
Bailey is not the name of the eminent
circus manager. for in his boyhood
days he was known on the streets of
Cincinnati as Jimmy Fitzgerald. An
old attache of the Robinson circus,
named Bailey, took the young fellow
in tow, and he afterward assumed the
name of his old employer and worked
his way up in the circus business to
the present remarkable position he
now occupies.

Motorman Win Lose His Life.

Milwaukee, Wis. Nov. 15.-William
Framer, a motorman on the Racine
and Kenosha street Railway line,
saved the lives of nine passengers by
sticking to his post in a car, of which
he was in charge. At the same time
Framer received injuries which may
result in his death. A train of freight
cars propelled by switch engine
moved out from behind some build.
ings just as the street car was nearing
the crossing. The motorman reversed
the current, but not quite soon enough,
as the vestibule of the car was hit
by the train and ground to pieces.
