Circus Comes to Town
and Makes Fun For Kids

Tuesday was circus day in Ar
vada and the kids had a great
time watching the performance
Of raising the big tent and help
ing to feed and water the animals
in order to get q free pass. The
circus was certainly an odd and
somewhat crude aggregation of
an elephant, ostrich. camel, lion,
leopards. snakes and parrots.
The boss and owner of the show
F. H. Henry. was the barker,
snake charmer and all.around
fixer. However, it seemed that
almost everything need fixing
and more especially the gasoline
engine which generated the
power for the electric lights
1t absolutely refused to be fixed
and 1t became necessary to hook
onto the city lighting system
The Arvada enterprise., 1917-08-23

with the result that the ligbtt
were very weak and the power
so weak that the electric piano
made pitiful wall when the
boy tried to get some music out
of it for the animals to preform
by.
The animals which performed
we're six ponnies. an educated
mule, four dogs, a "phony"
giraT, the elephant and the
human frog. There were accro.
batic stunts. slack wire perform.
ing trappese and ring work and
a few down stunts.
With all of its crudeness there
was quite a lot Of fun for every.
body, especially the kids. and
the seating capacity was taxed
to the limit. The menageria
and side shows were extra, l0
and Is cents, and the genera
admission was rs and 35 cents,
and some of the people bought
reserved seats. which were
brought in as demand made j,
necessary.
All told Mr.. Henry probably
out of town $65 or $40. There
was a number Of children present
who had never seen a circus and
these certainly did enjoy it, and
1t was q great source of pleasure
to their parents to see all of
the children made happy in this
way.

Auto Accident a
Narrow Escape

What might have beenSA very
serious accident occurred to l.. 1.

about 8 o'clock. when their Max,

a complete somersault over the
steep enbankment on Graves
avenue about 25 yards south Of

The remarkable thing is that
altho both Mr.. and Mrs. Green
spoon were caught under the
car and their two children were
in the rear seat when it turned
over, none were seriously injur-
ed.
Mr.. Greenspoon had his left
shoulder badly bruised, some Of
the bones slightly splintered and
Mrs. Greenspoon's back was
slightly strained and bruised.
The little girls nose was made
to bleed. but the little boy es-
capped without q scratch and was
evidently thrown clear of the
car, and soor pulled his sister
out and attempted to help his
father.
Mrs. Greenspoon was pinned
under the car. face downward.
and the weight of the car rested
on her back.
The accident seemed to be un-
avoidable and was due to Mr..
Greenspoon's dextrous efforts to
avert a collision with a wagon
which he claims has no light and
which was in the middle Of the
road just a few feet from the
crossing going south. Green
spoon was driving east in Grand
view and did not see the wagon
until he swung around the corr
ner and started down the hill.
He applied the brake as he
swung out to avoid the wag on,
and the car skidded and turned
over, down the steep embank.

against the wire fence which
partially held it up. and proba-

escape of the occupants.

the positive and final proof of a

we did not have sufficient proof
to justify a positive statement.
