1T is The NIGHT
OF NIGHTS; BUCK
TO Be CROWNED
State Fair at Coronation
Scene; Cox to Present
Brown Derby.
Have you got your seat?

nave YOU SOL YOUR seal
If not, get one for the grand
stand tonight at the Indiana state
fair for the biggest "doings" of
the week-the browning of Sheriff
Charles Buck Sumner as King
Charles I of the Brown Derby,
At about tonight the sheriff
will emerge from his royal box to
be be-knighted, not beheaded, with
the royal kelly of kellys, the Brown
Derby.
The sheriff won the 1881 darby"
with Scoop-shovel Of votes that suf-
located his nearest competitor,
Jesse Mcclure.
Wear Empress Gown
The sheriff will wear for the edi-
fcation of his subjects, the robes
of an empress when he is crowned.
Crossed handouts will attach to his
noble shoulders the coronation
gown of Empress Eugene. It's the
same gown that I>>s stTutted twice
daily 5sEcrC fair visitors in the style
show of the L. S. Ayres Co.
1t will be absolutely the last ap-
pearance of the royal robe in Indi-
annapolis and may prove Bucks last
too, if the cares of Brown Derby
land weigh too heavily on his hon
orable topknot.
Cox Royal CrOwner
Earl Cox, attorney-at-lar was
selected as the Royal Crowner of
the sheriff.
"I'll crown the big mug-just
watch me-" declared Cox as he &C
cepted the place of giving Sheriff
Buck" his scepter and his diadem.
Mcclure will be there to hope for
a sudden assassination of the King.
And other defeated candidates
will see the sheriff get the plaque
designating him the city's most dis
tinguished citizen.
There's one final request I'd like
to make" clicked Buck as he en-
tered Turkish bath to get rubbed
down for tonights ordeal, "and
that's that you send the execu-
toner to me as soon as I'm
crowned"
Patrol Worries Him
"But why?" quacked Jo-Jo, the
dog-faced judge"
There's a thing or two I'd like
to settle with the county council.
A-a-a- road patrol-quick-a
road patrol-Jo-Jo," strangled the
sheriff as he hit the steam vapors.
A caravan of the kings admirers,
judges, and politicians and just
folks, will escort him to the
grounds. The caravan will leave
the Indiana Democratic Club at
tbs p. m. on its royal road to the
Derby"
So be there tonight. Anything
map happen. The bronze plaque
may even turn to silver. Bucks
hair may turn red. The darby
may become a stiff hat.
See Sheriff Charles (Buck) Sum-
ner crowned your king for q
twelve month!
