CIRCUS
At Y. N. c. A. Last Night WAS
A Great Success
10y the seeretary)

Wy SV0 SeSVotoVyJ
The large crowd that thronged the
Y. M. c. A. building last night was
greeted with great many sights and
noises familiar to circus--the noise
of the barkers and shouts OF the ven.
ders, the evidence Of the small boy
and the excited crowd, the smell OF
peanuts and glimpse of the fearfully
arrayed clowns. There was only lack
ing the stencil of wet straw and the
calls of the wild animals to make the
scene complete.
Considering the weather conditions
1t was remarkably large audience
that greeted the performers. Never
before has so large number greeted
the grand entry. And we fell sure
that never before did the boys go
through their various acts any better
than last night when they responded
to the frequent applause of the audi
ence. The organization seemed to be
more complete and there was little of
the confusion that usually attends
amateur performers. The reserved
seats were found without any confu.
sion and while the capacity was taxed
to it's utmost none suffered discom.
fort.
To look at the program one got very
little idea OF the acts as It was word.
ed In a mysteilou mixture of high.
sounding words. hut each act was
stamped with approval by hearty ap,
plause. The mass drills by the young
er boys seemed as usual TO meet with
the most favor. There were nearly
so boys In these drills and they were
surely manly and promising CON-
pany. The tumbling act alone would
have drawn q large sum ON the Keith
circuit and other acts such as the box.

BOLD GYPSIES LOOT RELIANCE

Reliance, Va, April S.--A band OF
gypsies created quite a sensation here
Friday afternoon. They crowded
into homes, barns and stores and de-
manded or took whatever they co uld
whenever not closely watched. They
were bold and insolent. A number
OF people were relieved of money
ranging from S1.00 to $40. In several
instances they bought feed for their
horses and then refused to pay for it.
Cor. Winchester Star.
DR.. Locke, the Mayor of Wood
stock was notified of the misconduct
OF this band, at several points north OF
US. He at once took precautions to
protect our citizens from their depre-
dations. A number OF young men were
deputized as policemen. The gypSies
were notified to pass on without un-
necessary delay. In one instance a
couple of women entered meat and
grocery store. While one engaged
the proprietor in the meat department
another attempted to handle the gro
ceries in the front store. She was d t
once ordered by one of the young
men to keep hands off. She wanted
TO know what he had to do with it aud
being informed that they were clerks :.
She remarked that they had good
many clerks for so small store.
By the prompt action of the Mayor,
many of our citizens doubtless, were
saved from loss.

AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT
ON THE MOUNTAIN
MfsSrS. Boyer and Estep and
Families Made a Very
Narrow ESCAPE.

Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Boyer and
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Estep and little
son started in an automobile for a
visit to Mr.. Boyer's father in
Powell's Fort, last Sunday morning.
When they had reached point
about fifty yards below the first turn
from the top of the mountain, and
about 1000 feet above the river, the
left hand steering nuckle broke and
the machine at once turned to the
right.
Mr.. Boyer quickly stopped the en-,
CINE and locked the wheels, but as the
machine was less than two feet from
the wall. which was about four feet
bigh, it was soon over balanced and
started rolling down the mountain.
Mr.. Estep jumped as the machine left
the road and escaped without injury.
Mrs. Boyer, Mrs. Estep and little son
were thrown out when the machine
first turned over. Mrs. Estep was
bruised; Mrs. Boyer was severely
bruised about the head and right side
The machine starting to turn over
again, was stopped by tree and
stump and Mr.. Boyer who had chung
to The car, was thrown out, landing
about ten feet in front of the car. MIR,
Boyer was injured about the neck,
hand and below the knee.
Mr.. Estep's little son escaped with
slight bruise. The car was badly
wrecked. The ground below the wall
is very precipitous and the machine
was saved oy the tree and stumps.
MIR. Boyer is an expert driver, but
that does not count for anything when
the machine breaks.
Mrs. Boyer was unconscious for a
short time. On recovering, her first
exclamation was "Where's my hat?'
The accident occurred directly above
what is known as the "Devil's Gar
den,n
