John 7. Beatty Hits clOyed C. Stone in
Head With Grubbing Hoe.

John T. Beatty struck Cloyed c..
Stone in the head with a grubbing hoe
after a hotly worded dispute late Mon
day evening according TO reports
which reached this office Tuesday.
Beatty lives about nine miles south
west of this city and Stones family
are residents of Boone County. A
warrant has been sworn out by Stone
for the arrest of Beatty. He is char
ged with the intention to murder.
Although no particulars could be
learned about the incident, it is
thought the action followed an argu-
ment between the two men. The
wounds made on Mr.. Stone'shead were
very painful and may result seriously
although it is thought he will recover.

TANGO DANCING AT CIRCUS.
Every Phase of the Dance viii be Ex-
hibited in Robinson Show.

Ana now the tango has invaded the
realm of the circus.
WOT?
The truth! For when the Yankee
Robinson Three Ring Wild Animal
Circus comes to Mexico for a one days
exhibition on Friday, August 22ni,
there will be every sort of tango that
exists.
THE DANCERS?
With your kindest attention, permit
the introduction of "Texas Tommy"
and Lady Virginia" both true ex-
ponents of not only the Tango hut
themore modern Maxixe and Tickle
Toe" Both are tango dancing horses,
let it be known, and when they start
dancing, nothing in the code of Con-
vertion of Dancing Masters of Amer
lea can v approach them.
Of course there are other tango
dancers with the circus. There are
tango dancing elephants, tango dane
ing polar bears, tango dancing men
and women and tango dancing dogs.
All of this-as the would
say-only forms a small part of the
circus that is coming here.
There is a Capt. Tiebor with his
troupe of musical seals, a horseback
riding leopard, a lion who actually
loops the loop, a mixed grup of lions,
tigers, leopards, pumas and hyenas, all
performing in one large steel arena.
There are thirty real funny clowns and
hosts of acrobats, gymnasts adm aerial
performers. AS an added feature
young Hackenschmidt Worlds Cham
pion m~iddleweight wrestler will meet
all corners at each and every perform
ance. They are all there with many
other circus features and can be seen
in the mile long street parade which
will leave the circus grounds at noon.
