River Falls, for day or so, was
on the routing cards of two circuses
for this week, but it was. soon dis
covered that the Robinson Bros.
shows were really billed for Black
River Falls instead of here last
Monday. The error came from the
fact the advance man evidently
couldn't see black, but it's easy to
imagine that the manager saw red
when he discovered the mistake.
