The most of US do, because it's simply
human nature.
The Firemen celebration committee
has secured a big feature attraction
to appear in Julesburg July Fourth
Air-Devil-Jack Towers, acrobatic bal
loonists. of Paris, France, who will
perform here in his own specially con-
structed balloon and with parachute
that has already claimed one victim
by failing to open. when Dare Devil
Bridgens, jumped with this same para
chute last August at Rockford, ILL.,,
falling over one thousand feet to his
death.
Air-Devil-Jack Towers flirts with
death amongst the clouds-performing
the MISSTEP and FALL on rope
ladder, hanging by his teeth only and
other sensational trapeze stunts, in
cluding the terrific parachute drop.
He is reputed to perform the most
daring and sensational balloon act in
the world. He CANDLES with death
with every move.
Don't fail to see this big attraction,
which is absolutely FREE to all, and
one worth coming miles to see. This
attraction has been secured at a big
expense, and will furnish thrill of
thrills.
