Collins and Mr. and Mrs. J, P. Johnson, all ot Monrovia, woro In tho car. Skidding on a wot turn Is supposed to have caused it to capsize. Mr. Masfen'a back was badly wrenched, his thumb almost sovered nnd he suffored much from shock. Infection dovelopod in the thumb and has caused much anxiety, although late report to relatives here held out hope for recovery. Mr. Collins received severe Inter nal Injuries. If he Uvea, physicians say It will be due to the heroism of Mrs. Masten who offered herself for blood transfusion to strengthen Col lins tor an operation. Mrs. John son received a broken collar bono. Mrs. Masten and her sonwcro unin jured, except that the former's ankle was slightly sprained. Tho Maston family moved from hore a fow years ago. He conducted a Jowelry store next door to where tho Jewel cafo Is now located. His parents Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Masten live on the Charles Horton place on the river 'road 'to Bonanza, 1 0 0 SOUND: AND flUDIENrjF j.i With the sun shining , brightly and tho big Sellt-Floto circus In the city, it Is roally hard to realize- that today In a lato September day in place of a day in June.' .Neverthe less, tho nun Is a decided factor in bringing out crowdsVot, circus fans', who vlowed the unloading of tbo threo big circus trains) and tho erec tion lot tho gigantic tents on the Mills, Addition show (rounds. Long boforo daylight, tho first section' of tho railroad trains pullod Into Klamath Falls, and at tho first peep ot dawn tho big cages, wagons and othor equipment started to roll down tho "ramps," and woro speed ily drawn to tbo show grounds by wonderful night and ton horso teams of Pcrchoron baggago horses. Even tho elephants wore drawn Into play, and theso ponderous brutes, onmoshod In heavy steel cable and loather harness, tugged and lugged at cages and at the grounds they were hltchod to tbo onds ot heavy ropes and pullod the big canvas which comprise tho main circus tents to the very tops ot tho lofty confer poles. ' Tho circus dining touts woro a source ot attraction , for a great many slght-soors, and within tho short spaco of an hour and a half some 914 peoplo wero busy with their morning meal. Aftor 'watch ing tho activity on the Solls-Floto show 'grounds this morning, It Is not difficult to understand why tbo dally papers of the homo town ot the' Rtagllng Brothers referred to SelfckOfyoto as,"the..largft ,straljtht drcus-Jn tbo world." "Tbui slogan, Which originated at Baraboo, Wis consin, which Is tbo home ot three distinct circuses, certainly must havo its weight, and hundreds ot local pooplo will agreo with the statement A Long, Flashy Parado Promptly "on the hour named" the parado appoarod on tho' down town streets, and horo again Sells Floto provod thomselvos different from othor shows. Tholr parado was on tlmo, much to tho surprise oh thousands ot curb spectators. It was a long, winding ribbon ot mu sic, color and novel sights. Scores of pretty women mounted on mag' nlflcent chargers, every cage and den open to public Inspection, dozen lumbering elephants, camels, a giant hippo, eight bands and threo calliopes, dozens ot carved tableau wagons and oodles of tunny clowns mado up tho morning street cavalcado. It was a parado roally worth looking at. Mighty Clrcnu Program When tho doors ot tho main cir cus oponed thero was a surging mob ot thousands of peoplo milling around tbo big midway, and when the 'tlckot wagon windows oponed for the sale ot tho covotod "paste boards" thoro was a wild scramble rto lnspoct tho wonders. It was a different kind of a circus than most people Imagined. It opened with a concert by an oxcoptlonally good band, which was coupled up with a monstrous pipe organ, after which followed the pagaent "The Birth ot the Rainbow." Then came the cir cus proper. Every mlnuto, the throe rings and two stages were filled with fast turning and clean acts which woro above the ordinary. Aortal, Iron-Jaw, Roman ring, leap ing, tumbling, contortion, trapezo, and statuary stunts were mixed In a sort of systomatlo conglomeration with bareback Tiding, trained, ele phants, camels, llamas, , dogs, ponies, menago horses, monkeys and seals. The "Poodlos" Hannaford family presented a riding act which was well worth the money alone As a 'comedian and A rider, "Pood' les" easily surpassed anything ot a like nature ever seen hero, Taking tho Sells-Floto circus as a whole, It Is a big, clean attrac tion, which la conspicuous ,to a do greo with acts which aro far above the average. It Is worth attending and tonight's crowd will undoubted ly be as large as the afternoon audience. - 1 Hi''- . . A.V - Rail' Unions Are Counting Votes .... on Strike I Plan -r OJIICAGO, Sept. 26.
