1O1 Ranch Mild West

Miller Bros 1O1 ranch Wild
West show, recruited entirely
from the great 10l ranch a,
Okla, will appear at O:tonville
Wednesday, July IS, giving two
performances and inaugurating
the day with a big free stree,
parade and free show on the
grounds. Many residents of
this vicinity will take advantage
of the opportunity to see the
famous amusement institution.
The Miller Brothers entered
the show business last year
when the directors OF the James
town exposition urged them, as
representatives of the cattle
raising business, to give an ar
enic illustration of it's features.
The show was the sensational
triumph of the fair. Enthusias
tic crowds iocked to its every
performance. never seeming to
tire OF its stirring, unwonted
scenes and movement. So ire
mendous was the popularity and
patronage that New York City
demanded an entertainment like
it. The Millers hurried back to
the ranch, recruited another
show and sent it on to Brighton
Beach, New York City, where
for six weeks they broke metro
politau records of attendance
and favor.
The organization which is com
ing to Ortonville is a consolida-
ton of the two which IS tonished
the country last year. 1t is a
living page from frontier his
tory, without professionalism or
theatres. Every figure and
feature is original with the 101
Ranch-cowboys. cowgirls, In
dams, bucking horses and
trained COW ponies, champions
of the lariat, the gun, the bow
and the arrow; long horned
steers, pure blooded buffaloes,
emigrant schooners and prairie
stage coaches. Without varia.
ton of the illusion the sports,
pastimes, hardships, chivalries
perils and daily happenings of
the ranch are reproduced.
Miller Brothers have asoired
to make their preliminary street
parade one that will remain a
glorious memory to all who view
its wonders. More than 1OC In
dians are a fantastic feature, and
every person anc animal with
the organization is required to
be IN line. The cavalcade
stretches more than a mile in
length, and IS a moving sum.

Various Ways Of Telling the Story Of
an Accident.

Various Ways Of Telling the Story Of
IN Accident.
THE PLAIN STYLE.
A lady slipped on some orange
peel in School street yesterday and
broke her leg.
THE STACCATo STYLE.
1t was a job for a surgeon.
Orange peel did it.
There was a slide, a scream and
. dull thud.
The atmosphere was full of lin
gerie, frou frou, hairpins and brio
a-brac.
It was laughable.
But only to a few.
A dozen men rushed CALAMITY to
che rescue.
1t was a woman who had fallen.
Horror! A neither limb broken.
She was in agony.
And all because of somebody's
carelessness.
Saul has slain his thousands.
Orange peel has slain its ten
houssn ds.
THE FLoRID STYLE.
Tripping lightly down School
street yesterday afternoon, her face
all aglow with health and every
! muscle, nerve, vein and artery in
harmony with the invigorating at
mosphere, a representative of the
softer sex was seen suddenly to de-
dect from the perpendicular, and in
another instant this one of heavens
last and best gifts to man came
with crushing force to the hard, un-
yielding pavement. The immedi-
ate cause of the unfortunate ladv's
downfall was the greasy envelope of
that tropical fruit, the orange,
which some thoughtless, if not mali
cious, individual had cast upon the
public pavement. The victim OF
! this carelessness or worse had sus-
!, tanned a fracture of a limb, and it
viii be many weary weeks ere she
will again be able to walk erect and
stately as heretofore.
THE FACETIoUs STYLE.
She will be careful how she treads
on orange peel hereafter. She
didn't know it was loaded. But it
shot her off. 1t is only a broken
leg. Not much comfort to her, but
. good thing for the surgeon.
There's money in it. People who
throw away orange peel should be
careful to throw it 30 that it will

you to your own conclusions.
