Lemen Bros. Circus.

Yesterday the ARDMOREITE had
short article from the South Nc
Alester Capital in reference to-
the Territory circus. and the thiev-
ing crew who follow it up. We
notice in another issue of the Cap
ital, this:
Lemen Bros. circus which ex
hibited here yesterday was the
rankest exhibition in its line that
has ever shown iu South McAlester.
The menagerie, side show and the
big circus, with the exception of
one or two attractions, were fakes
of the first water, and the large
crowds of people who attended went
away disgusted with the entire
outfit.
And again:
The circus has come and gone,
and several residents Of South Ne
/ Alester and vicinity are minus
sums of money ranging all the way
from So to $50 as result OF the
operation of the old shell and pea
game in the side show. 1t is queer
how many suckers there are in
South McAlester-and they think
they are wise people at that.
