GENTRY BROS. CIRCUS WILL
VISIT CLAYTON AUGUST 2ND

Claiming the old saying "See one
circus and you see them all" is en-
tirely wrong, and declaring the at
traction he represents is different
from any living or dead tented or
ganization, Robert w. Thompson, of
the Gentry Bros. shows and wild
animal arena, was in the city this
week, and announced August as
the date the animal opera will eX-
hibit in Clayton.
Said Thompson: Whoever start
ed that ,'all circuses are alike idea,
could not have seen the Gentry show
since its enlargement, or they would
put on a new record. Where else
can one see lions tied to a fence,
getting their backs scratched with
curry-comb, except with The Gen
try show, or elephants being scrub
bed with vinegar and CASTLE soap;
or ostriches racing wild horses, Ia
mas boxing kangaroos, ordinary
barnyard pigs doing a military drill,
and about hundred and one peeu-
liar acts in the Gentry program this
season."
And according TO the same author
lily, there is not an old splinter of
wood, an old thread Of canvas, an
old act or am old musical number
in the show this year; the manage
ment started from the ground up
and from the opening pageant to the
closing feature, it is a brand new eX-
hibition throughout; every anima
that was retained from previous
seasons has a new act, and even the
side-show is completely changed
when a press agent goes TO the trou-
BILE Of mentioning a side-show. Il
seems as though it must be some
thing out Of the ordinary.
The street parade is reported Z
be slightly in excess of a mile il
length now, with two brand ney
calliopes in It. and four bands play
ing late music; he-clowns and she
j clowns furnish the fun and there ar
also many animals that have take

JIM HOWARD CAPTURES MAN
WITH BOOZE ON ROYCE ROAD

Early Monday morning, while go
ing to his ranch northwest of town,
Deputy Sheriff Jim Howard met
Rafe Walker and another man in
a wagon, north of Royce. As he
passed them he noticed a box aboard
the wagon, and knowing Walker, be-
came suspicious. Mr., Howard drove
on out to the ranch, but decided to
come back and investigate, and over
took the gentlemen near Royce. An
investigation disclosed one and one
half gallons of sure-fire booze in a
jug and suit case. About this time
Walker began to show fight and
reached for a 3O-30 Winchester. Jim
didn't have his own gun, but took
Walkers rifle away from him and
Walker threw up his hands. The
men were brought to town and
Walker was placed in the county
Jail.

AUTOMOBILE RACERS MAY
STAGE FAST EVENTS HERE

A. l.. Mclaughlin, promoter, and
Jack Knight, driver. were in town
this week trying to arrange for an
automobile race meet to be held on
the Fair Grounds track on Saturday,
August 9th.
They came down from Trinidad
in a Lexington Special, and Wednes-
day took a few turns around the
track, and Mr.. knight informs us
that with little surfacing the track
can be put in fine shape, and is Ger
tain that very fast time can be shown
in the coming events.
These gentlemen have taken up
the matter Of leasing the track with
the members of the city council who
were in the city, but unfortunately,
owing to the absence of the mayor
and MIR. Blakely, final action could
not be taken.
In the event that the arrange
ments can be completed, Mr.. Nc
Laughlin states that Jim Felhaver
of Denver, driving a Ferro "8' Spe-
cial; Victor Maccaluso, of Trinidad,
with a Hup Special; George Halli-
day, of indianapolis, Cad. "S'; Jack
! knight of FL Paso, in a Lexington
Special; and John Kelloff of Omaha
in Chevrolet Special, will be among
the assured entries.
The program will also include one
special five-mile event for local
cars and amateur drivers only. Fur
ther information regarding this race
can be obtained from Mr.. McLaugh-
lin or Mr.. Knight in Clayton at any
time after Monday, as Mr.. Knight
informs us that he will return ia
Clayton on that date if arrange
ments are completed.

TOM WOLFORD IS BURNED
IN TAILOR SHOP, MONDAY

About nine o'clock Monday morn
ing, as Tom WolfOrd was hanging
clothes in the drying room of his
tailor shop, an explosion occurred
which set fire to the whole estab-
lishment aud practically ruined the
interior of the building, and its con-
tents.
As we are informed, Tom had just
started a fire in the boiler, and went
to the drying room to hang up some
clothes. When he opened the door
the heavy gas fumes came out and
upon reaching the boiler caught fire,
causing an explosion and slamming
the drying-room door shut. Mr..
Wolford forced the door open and
made his way to the front door,
which was also closed by the ex-
plosion. He rushed across the street
with his clothes blazing to the Lowe
residence, where Mr. Lowe put out
the flames.
Tom was Immediately taken to st,
Joseph's hospital, where he is now
resting as easily as could be expect
ed. His entire back was severely
burned, and much of the skin has
come off. Both of his forearms were
also very badly burned, and it is be-
| lieved that two of his fingers will be
ruined for the rest of his life. His
face is badly blistered and it is fear
ed that he may have serious internal
injuries, due to inhaling the burn
ing gas. DR.. Milligan is attending
him. and the last report we have
had was that Mr.. WOlford is show
ing improvement.
Frederick, the young son of Mr.
Ad Shearer, who was also in the
shop at the time of the explosion
had his left arm, between the elbow
and wrist, badly blistered, but il
able TO be about town.
Toms many friends will be griev-
ed to hear of this sad accident, anC
all will join in hoping that he will
recover rapidly and soon be able Il
be about again.
The contents of the building wcr
almost completely wrecked, an,
we understand that some of tn
books were burned. The plant wa
covered by insurance, althO we haV
not learned how much

BAPTIST REVIVAL GAINING
IN INTEREST EVERY NIGHT

The series of revival services at
The Baptist Church have resulted in
the salvation of a number of souls
and in the reconsecration Of many
Christians to the service of Jesus
Christ. Many Christians who have
been faithful in their attendance
and cooperation have shown by word
and deed that their lives have been
enriched spiritually and that their
conviction of the teaching of Gods
Word has been deepened.
The value of these services, how
ever, cannot be estimated solely by
what is seen and heard; for only
an Omniscient God can measure the
power and see the results that are
yet to come to Clayton and vicinity
from the earnest, faithful preaching
of His Word. In every service the
preacher pleads in his earnest,
forceful way that the people take
the Bible alone as their guide and
not the opinion and ideas of men, for
the Bible is infallible as a guide,
but all men make mistakes. The
Bible, he insists, is the only basis
upon which there can be unity and
harmony among Christians, and
while some things are difficult to
understand, yet the way is so plain
that there should be no mistake re-
garding the things that are neces-
sary and fundamental.
Evangelist COpass drives home the
great responsibility resting upon
lprofessing Christians, and shows thai
! the reason more unsaved people are
not interested in the things pertain
ing to their eternal welfare is be-
cause the Christians are Sinking
their responsibility and duty by moi
lining up with the churches and do
ing their part in the service Of Jesu,
Christ, and instead of being a hell
to those who are supporting thu
churches they are actually hind
RANGES and stumbling blocks in thu
way of others, for "the tree is know
by the fruit it bears" The creates
and most prevalent sin on the par
of Christian people, he emphasize
in vigorous and forceful language
is the sin of Indifference.
, And then, too, many unsaved peo
pie fail 10 accept Jesus Christ a
their Savior because there is no diff
ference between the everyday lif
and conduct of many church mem
bers and those who do not make an
profession of Christianity at all.
Evangelist Copass is man of tn
deepest and most pungent cOnvic
ton. lie believes with all his hear
, in the truth of Gods word as it
, written, and hews to the line. Hi

.DALHART SWARPED UNDER
an AVALANCHE OF BINGLES

Spotting Dalhart to four runs in
the first four innings Of the game
here last Sunday, Clayton's Grays
came back in the fifth and with
five hits, a hit batsman and base
on balls, sent Jimmy shaver's repu-
tation TO the showers, and wrecked
any hope Dalhart may have enter
tanned about making it three straight
to their credit. After the fourth
inning Dalhart didn't get close, and
Smoky Joe, with a fast-breaking
curve and binding speed held the
Texas team down at all stages.
As we stated before, Dalhart got
four in the first four innings In the
first inning Coon and Woodson fan
ned, Then Bass hit a grounder just
inside Bird base, which bounded on
out to left field. Before it could be
herded back TO the infield Bass had
scored a scratchy homer. In the
second, Shytles singled, stole second,
took third and scored on Shaver's
single. In the ith, J. Shytles was
safe on a fielder's choice. Martin
singled C. Shytles singled to left,
and J. shytles and Martin crossed
the pau. So ends the chapter.
Here's the Grays' story. Boggs,
first up, singled between ist and 2nd
base Smoky hit one in front of the
plate and beat the throw to first
Lynch walked, filling the bases. Old
Dutch then drove a slashing 2-bag-
ger past 2nd base, Boggs and Joe
scoring. Hardy Kerr then leaned on
one of Shaver's offerings and when
the dust had cleared Lynch and
Dutch had dented the rubber, buI
Hardy was out at second. Johnston
was safe on c. Shytle's error. Gla-
zier was hit by Shaver, who was
getting wilder than a March hare
about this time. McFadden struck
out, but Banks singled and Johnston
counted Glazier scored a moment
later on a wild pitch. Bah, up fol
tue obNuuu llliit Ill JllS illllBs III
a grounder TO list base and was ou
unassisted.
To add further injury to the dam.
age already done, in the 9th, Dutcl
was safe on Woodson's error, Kerr
singled TO right, and Johnston theI
proceeded 10 get his homer. 1
landed in the race track, and -altht
Bass seemed to be expecting it anC
was playing way back, Johnston
circled the bases and Snedeger ant
Kerr had already done so, whicl
brought the total up to 9 runs.
