Show on Earth now Dazzling a Delir-
o Multitude" at Madison Square
Garden.
OF course the genial julius did not al
once take possession OF all these things
above mentioned and transport them
to the Sheriff's office. His per-
fectly good attachment did not empower
him to 60 20 such desperate lengths.
and just as soon as the Barnum and
Bailey people had put up a $4,000 bond
the elephants breathed freely again and
the Big Show went on as per WON'T.
Bond or no bond. however. the circus

bareback rider Is suing to $25.-
900 damages for a broken arm. The
young lady is Miss Florence Kennard
and she alleges that she broke her arm
In Cleveland while In the employ. Of the
Barnum & Bailey Company.
Once inside the Garden the Sheriff
hunted up hah a dozen managers and
informed them OF his dire purpose.
i've got an attachment here" he
said. that covers the whole show"
How soon do you ant possession? %
asked one Of the managers.
Instantly" responded the inexorable
Sheriff.
IAN right" said the manager. happily.
IT'S Just feeding time for the elephants.
Send your men out for forty bales Of
hay. one ton Of bran and two tons Of
oats-and IL 1t your purpose to attach
the felines and r%uminants?"

covers the whole outfit"
The manager got out a pad then and
wrote down a menu for the rest of the
zoo. When Hamburger read 1t he was
eager to talk compromise, and 80 II was
that a bond was furnished and all went
on as before with the Greatest Show
