Long famous for strange and curious

other geological gardens, Cole Brothers
triple m~enageries this year contain an
exhibit which is just now Occupying
the attention of scientists everywhere.
1t is the only black camel ever seen in
captivity and the only wild one ever
brought to this country. Prof. Knude.
who has given a great deal of study to
the subject, claims he finds this re-
markable beast a descendant of the few
which survived the storms which about
the year 1900 overwhelmed the village
of the Cobb plateau and killed all of
the people. At ANY rate it is a prize
of which any show might justly boast

valuable displays made by Cole Broth

June 30th in Dickinson.-adv.

The sober. quiet, innocent looking

Coles Brothers United Shows, which
are billed to appear June 30th in Dick
inson. are to be found some of the fin
est specimens ever exhibited in this or
