Great Performing Lions to Be
Seen Here Soon.

There are some wonderful lions
with the John Fl. Sparks Shows
that will exhibit here Wednesday,
September 18th, at the show
grounds. They r not only OF
amazing size and beauty but they
have been trained to do some of
the most thrilling acts ever pre-
scented to an audience. Herr Fritz
Drummer, the worlds greatest lion
tanner, was born and reared in the
jungles of equatorial Africa, and
from childhood was accustomed
to hear the roars Of the man-eat-
ing kings Of the forest that
prowled about his cabin at night.
His father once captured some
lion cubs which he trained to aid
him in his hunting expeditions.
Thus reared the boy naturally be-
came a lion tanner and hunter.
Selecting some cubs of the largest
species known, he reared them
and educated them to perform
feats that would illustrate the
amazing strength and agility Of
these beasts.
During the performance OF the
Sparks Shows i group of these
monster animals will be turned
loose in a great steel enclosure in
full view Of the audience. Herr
Drummer will enter this enclosure
unarmed, and put these lions
through some astonishing per-

For a number of years there
have been charges of dishonesty
and crookedness in connection
with the county officials of Iron
county. We are now gratified to
know that a complete audit of the
books has been made, and that this
audit reveals that the business OF
Iron county has been conducted
with absolute honesty and with
more than usual care. 1t has GER
tainly been unfortunate for the
prosperity of Iron county and for
the value of property therein stu
ated, that the ISLANDERS and calum-
MES have been allowed to circu-
late all these years. The charges
had been SO continuous and open
that people had come to believe

this week with 1872 enrolled. Sew

rollment in a few days, which will
soon push the total above the 200

ton. The seventh and eighth
grade room and the High School
can accommodate quite a number.
The board is installing q low
