"Red" Henderson, an employe of the
Morris Rowe circus, was severely in
jured at yesterday afternoons per-
Torrance in an accident during the
camel race which almost resulted in
serious panic under the crowded can
vas. The animal which Henderson was
riding stumbled and fell, throwing the
rider over it's head. The other beasts
were thrown into wild confusion and
for more than a minute Henderson lay
under the trampling hoofs. Attend
ants rushed into the arena and res
cused the PROSTATE man, while others
devoted themselves to quoting the
crowd, narrowly averting what might
have been a serious panic.
The big show descended on Los An
geles resplendent in new trappings,
paint and bangles. and the leather
lunged spielers were buster than a

NJ. A. WHITE IS PRESIDENT
Executive Committee of Eleven Mem
bers Chosen to Direct Policy-To
Cooperate With Missoula.

The Hamilton Chamber of Com
merce was organized at meeting of
the Business Mems club at the city hall
Friday night. The meeting was per-
meated with the boosting spirit, and
the organization that was perfected,
with authority centered almost exclu-
sively in an executive committee of
eleven members, is strong and mobile,
and will give effective expression to
the city's concerted effort to secure
new industries, new residents and in
creased business.
Upon rapping for order, President
Shannon called for the report of the
committee on reorganization, which
submitted constitution and bylaws
fashioned after those that govern the
commercial clubs in Spokane and Mis-
soula. With few minor changes it
was adopted, and the president heard
a motion from ]. o. Read to resolve
the Hamilton Business Mems Club in
to the Hamilton Chamber of Com
merce, which carried without dis
senting voice.
W. H. Roberts was then chosen
temporary president and George x.
Dick temporary secretary of the new
organization. Assuming the chair,
Mr.. Roberts addressed some sound
remarks to the club, pledging greater
/
city. The work of selecting an ex
ecutive committee, as provided for in
the constitution, was then begun by
secret ballot, large number of names
having been presented to the club.
