such vigor that one man was laid out

q running fight and final melee, mark
ed the leaving of the Parker Amuse-

yesterday. And but for the shrewd
ness and diplomacy of General Mana
ger Harry r. Raver, the whole train
might have been held on an attach
ment by the Riggs Wild West show,
which has been travelling as part of
the Parker attractions. Cap. Riggs
claimed $l4S due him, which Raver de-
MED. Riggs alleges that Trainmaster
Donovan tried to make off with part
Of the wild west paraphernalia. 1t
was this latter allegation that started
all the row. Donovan had the wild
west tent loaded upon wagon to haul
to the train, when the COW boys
swooped down upon him and rescued
it. Not, however. until after a shower
of shots had been fired and Engineer
H.tz, who runs the Parker electric
plant had picked UP an iron tent stake
ar d laid out two of the cow boys. Fin
ely the Parker train departed minus
the Wild West show, which Is still in
Webster City.
The Riggs rough rider show has

$146. Raver denied that he owed it.
He hadNsl counter claim of s145 for re-
p,lir on gas lights and salary of three

was to ray. The men could not agree
and finally Riggs declared he would
cut his show loose from the rest of the

Riggs intended swearing out a war
rant charging Donovan with grand
larceny. While the preliminaries We're

Isaver called County Attorney Blake to

while this was going on Donovan
boarded the carnival train and started
