Circus Terrorizes Town of Manson.

The little town of Manson, near
here. doesn't want the great Van
Amburg show to come again,
For twenty-four hours the town
was in stage of siege at the hands
OF the circus men, who held revolv-
ers and threatened to use them. G.
=. Haney got out an attachment
against the show on a claim for
damages to a colt which was
scared by the caliope.
The fun began when Deputy
Sheriff Dawson ATTEMPTED to take
possession of circus horse on the
writ. The young man in charge
argued with the sheriff and citi.
zens peaceably for an hour, prom
ising that the manager would come
and settle. Heidi come, and with
him about twenty thugs belonging
to the circus. When the manager
dismounted, he ordered his men
to pull their guns, and with drawn.
revolvers the sheriff and his depu-
ties were put to flight. The showmen
then chased the crowd in every di-
rection. An attempt was made to
hold the train, but this was unsuc-
cessful. The circus men guarded
the train with loaded revolvers,
patrolling the railroad yards un-
til an engine could be obtained to
pull them out.-Special from Web
