clever Ananias in charge Of an lows
paper publishes tho following: The
horrible news comes from Kansa:

than the boy can climb down. The
boy is plumb cut of sight. Three
men have undertaken to cut the stall
Gown with axes to save the boy from
starvation, hut it grows so fast they
can't hack twice in the same place
The boy is living on nothing but raw

less of those dirty greasers and Indi
ans. With such an aggregation Of
toughs and grafters along under hi:
wing Mr.. Bill will be obliged to lister
to grievances from patrons. Every
time one turned around it was quar-.
ter or a half and the concert and side.
show variations also came high. The
show drew large crown to the city
