Vincent was hungry. He could
mt get work. He broke into a
store at Milton and was eating
crackers when Deputy Marshal
Nixon saw him. The boy was
shot getting away.
Vincent told the whole story to-
dag.
Not a bad boy, apparently, is

Four days ago William Vincent

when he asked for work.
After two days, his money
gone, he started out on foot for
the country. He ran across two
other men, Bud" Nelson and
Howard Carney wanderers like

The three walked 20 miles, to
Milton, asking work from house

Vincent. "If he knows l am ar

81 kept wondering what to do
about my wound. 1 would rather
go to the pen than lose my arm by
blood poisoning. L figured out
different schemes. One was to
drive spike into my hand where
the bullet went and try to fool
the doctor into thinking it was an
accident.
~ finally decided to tell him
that l had been held up while
sleeping out with tramps. That
would explain my being barefoot.
"The doctor at McKenna fixed
my hand, but told me it would
have to be watched closely. So
l got on a freight and rode into
Tacoma and went to a doctor
here"
Some one telephoned to the po-
lice station that a young man
with bullet wound in his hand
was at a certain doctors office.
Chief Fraser was waiting when
Vincent came out. He took him
to the station.

RICE & DORE SHOWS
 ATTRACT CROWDS
CARNIVAL ATTRACTIONS ARE AMONG CLEANESEAND BEST
 EVER SEEN HERE
Opening Last Night Revealed Many Instructive Exhibitions Especial.
 ly for Tots.

The real opening of the Rice and Dcre shows took place last night On account of the bad condition of the lot and difficulty of getting the amount of power to operate all the attractions there were but four tha. opened their doors Monday evening, but from o'clock last evening up to late hour a large crowd passed the gate and evidently enjoyed what is the best carnival that the city has ever seen.
 There is not the slightest doubt but that the Rice and Dore carnival have lived up to their reputation and they have presented to the public a show that IS clean, moral and Optlo-date in every particular. There is absolutely nothing that the most fastidious can object to in any of the entertainments and all are managed in way that leaves nothing to be desired in any shape or form.
 The principal attraction are the Texas Bud and the Miller shows, which together with the Jungle show of Colonel Thrift and the twenty
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1912-05-22

shows in one make up a large eve ning's entertainment. It is impossible to review all the various exhibits and to view them all will take fully '.hree nights and then some.
 When the Rice and Dore promised sn '4heir advance notices they would produce something differ ent to the ordinary run of carnival attractions, thy heEt heir word and i'll this case I can honestly be said that the at fractions were honestly advertised
 The diving horses are all that is claimed for them, and 'his, is about the best free attraction that has been i seen in th's section of the country for many moons. Monday evening or account of the lack of light there was no dive, but last evening both the horses gave a splendid exhibition of equire intelligence and dive that was a revelation was seen. The hcrses seem to enjoy it as much as a human b2ing would and take 10 the water head first of their own vol'tion. The dive takes place daily afternoon and evening
 All the attractions are good and some of them are way above she average. Such exhibits as That pre- sided over by Colonel Thrift, .he iii trepid Indian traveller, and his wife are of great educational value and all parents would do we'll to take their children to the sterling at'rae- tion that will teach them more in ane visit about the animals and reptiles of the. Topics Chan they will learn in months of study. To those who would see the way that the Colonel's wife. Mrs. Thrift, handles the giant Python 31 feet in length, is a revelation of wha's one small woman can do in the way of snake charming. The baby monkey is another curosity that ia well worth seeing as 1t is altogether probable that the wis tor will never see another in this country at least.
 Texas Bud has some of the fines
 riders and bronco busters in the country, as we'll as some of the worst outlaw horses. Last night was pre- sented a great exhibition of riding and roping and those who say tav show went away amazed and g:ati- I fled with the entire entertainment Miller's wild animals is another favorite show. his five Nubian lions are among the bes'. in the country and ,he thrilling exhibition that Capt. Scott gives fully entities him to the title, "The man who fish's the | lions."
