 Fairfield, May 1.-The F. A. Rob- l bins comibned shows exhibited on | the grounds in the rear of the Fair | crate street parade which drew all | the youngsters of the town and ma- | jority of the O. F. Club, every body was ready for a good show. They were not disappointed for they found
 a nice, clean, new outfit, with about 1 30 people to make an interesting show. | The show reached town yesterday and | set up a neat and clean outfit. The | best features of the show were the
 old Concord coach which has figured l in many hold-ups on the old Dakota l trail. The youngsters poked their | fingers in the holes made by the forty | fives shot into the old coach in for | mer days by road agents. Nebraska Bill rode Punch Browney, the trick | horse and created a real sensation. ! His performance was equal to any, l thing seen in any show, no matter how large or we'll advertised. Those who have been on the range and know what the real article in the way of a l bucking broncho is enjoyed the efforts of the men to ride "Old Cyclone,' the | worst Split Hoss'' since the time of "Old Lightnin' of San Antonio, who i threw every man Or beast that got on his back. While the show was
 not expected to be a rival, of the great Barnum aggregation in size
 those who attended were surprised at its actual worth as an amusement
 enterprise and everybody who attend ed went away satisfied.
 The show travelled by road to Mill ford last night where they will astonish the clam diggers of that burg with two performances to-day.

 The aggregation of hoboes which has been in evidence in the town for
