The Krause Greater Shows. the
carnival company that arrived i'm
Dawson Monday of last week, left
Saturday night for cambridge.
where they are filing an engage

them recollections of their visit here
they will not soon forget. They
were "'up against it, from the time
they arrived until they took thier
departure.
After efecting compromise with
citizens who obtained an Injunction

set IN and no attempt to open the
shows was made until Wednesday
might. Thursday and Friday the rain
and disagreeable weather continued
and the crowd was small both days.
Saturday q big crowd was i'm the city.
and the carnival received for the first
time patronage that amounted to
anything.
To add to his other woes the pro-
prietor of the ''ghost show" was hit
doubly hard by the collapse of his
big tent and the almost complete de-
struction of his outfit Thursday
night. 1t was a double tent and the
incessant rains had caused water to
collect between the two layers of
cloth, which finally became SO heavy
that the stakes were pulled from
the earth and the heavy soaked mass
fell with a crush on the cameras and
other equipment, including a large
rejecting plate glass that cost SIS,
and almost completely destroyed ev-
erything. 1t Is said that it will cost
at least $500 to repair the damages.
The company left Dawson with a
loss anywhere of from $4,000 to $3,-
600, and the Dawson Military Band,
who was to receive a percentage of
the receipts, are also losers, as they
were at considerable expense adver-
tising the carnival and meeting other
bills they we're under contract to
pay.
A better class of people and a
higher order OF shows are with the
Krause Company than are usually
found with carniyals.
