grand hailing sigh of distress, when
the performers, headed by the fat
woman, whose peeled Mexican dog
was lost in the shuttle, came in
amongst the cannibals, and pa and
the other dogs were rescued, in the
darndest fight l ever saw. The per-

cannibals, and mauled them with
stakes, and all the dogs that had not
been killed We're pulled away from
the heather, and saved. The fat wo-
man got her dog all right, and when
pa came up from the stake where
they were going to burn him and
congratulated her on recovering her
dog, she turned on pa and accused
him of being the leading cannibal,
and that he was the one who put up
the whole job to steal the dogs. She
iabbed him with a parasol, but pa was
innocent.
The Indians got back to the tent
along towards morning, and the cam
nibals went back with us. and we had
to feed them on weiners, which was
the nearest to roast dog we could get
for them at that time of night.
Pa seems to get it in the neck in
this show. cause everything that goes
wrong is laid to him and If anything
goes right somebody else gets the
credit, and I think he would resign
if it was not for his pride. After the

and reprimanded him for INDUCING
the tribes in their wild orgies and
cold wa oauIdn,t maintain discipline

encouraged them in such things

victim instead of being the cause OF
