MONKEY BARRIERS
ARE COMING HERE
Simian Tonsorial Artists
Among Features With
Gentry Bros. Shows.

The only monkey BARRIERS in the
world are coming to this city next
Tuesday. July l, when Gentry Bros IA
nous shows will give two perform
ances here. These monkeys are train
ed to enact scenes common in a barber
shop. The comical situations which
develop as a result of monkey nature
are indeed laughable.
When the shop opens an 'old gentle
man. monkey in all dignity, walks in.
He takes his seat in a chair and tells
the monkey barber he wants a shave.
After placing the towel at his throat
the barber decides he needs a hair cut.
In the difference of opinion which
follows the monkey barber gets angry
He fills the patrons mouth full of soap
suds. Then he ca tches up an enormous
pair of shears. and the damage he
would do is checked only by the timely
arrival of a trainer
This monkey barber shop scenes is a
most amusing presentation of animal
nature. 1t is, however, only one of
scores of unique displays which Gentry
Bros famous shows offer this season.
For this city only admission is reduced
to 25 and 35 cents.

OFFICERS SON
BITTEN BY DOG
Especial to TIE TINES.

Crown Point. Ind, June 24.-The first
case of dog bite for the season in this
city occurred yesterday when Thomas
Plat, Jr, son of City Marshal Platt,
was quite badly lacerated in the hand
by a dog owned by John Biegel. The
Platt lad and the son of Mr.. Beegle
were playing with the animal which
was tethered to a long rope in the
yard. Young Biegel told the Platt
boy to shake him and see what the
dog would do, with the result record
ed above. The wound was thoroughly
cauterized by a physician and it is not
thought that any i'll effects will result
from the accident.
