Narrow Escape of Sells & Note's ElephantsTo Be Here Next Week A well known traveling man tells tho following interesting story in a Helena, Mont., paper of recent date: "Tho arrival in Helena today of the Sells Floto circus reminds me of one of tho most spectacular events I have ever Been," said Bcnnic K. Loeb, the well known traveling man, who makes his headquarters in this city. "My itinerary took mo to Idaho Falls last week on the same day that the cir cus was schedolcd for that city. The day was windy in fact, so great was the velocity of the wind that tho tent was almost blown down. And I am coming to the point of the story now. I have read accounts that the wind was responsible for tho stampede of the ele phants, but this was not the case. "The elephants were being taken out for a bath in a canal near by, and so thoroughly had they been trained that only one man accompanied them. Tho elephants waded across the canal, and there being no one to turn them, they proceeded to the banks of the Snake river. The river at this point is very swift, and runs between solid walls of rock which stand twenty-five feet above the water level. "Tho elephants saw the water below, and evidently seized with a desire for swimming, jumped over the cliffs, The current is said to be the swiftest found in existence, nnd there is no way of es caping, once in the water between the walls. Not a few persons, cows and horses have fallen over these walls and not ono of them escaped alive, "The town was crowded with visitors and the whole community was quite naturally much interested in the out come. Tho animals were very valua ble, being held at 30,000 by the own ets, and the fact that no person or an imal had ever escaped death after fall ing in the Bwift, deep stream made the situation a tense oue. "Along with the others I rushed to the top of the precipice aud could see but little of the floundering animals. At one moment it would be a foot, then a back and then a trunk. That an ele phant is a powerful swimmer was dem onstrated beyond all doubt, however, as all escaped through the channel to the flats below and crawled out safely. "After emerging from the waters the animals were greatly excited. They were finally captured, the tents packed, and the circus left town none the worse for wear and richer in experience. The circus manager told me that the animals were worth $30,000, but that when he saw where they had fallen and into such a turbulent stream, he would not have given one dollar apiece for them." This entire herd of Sells-Floto per forming elephants are doing their reg ular work daily with the big show and seem to feel no worse after their most remarkable adventure. Herr Christo pher Zeitz, their trainer, will be pleased to tell you all about this wonderful pic nic in the water. The big show, entire, complete in ev ery detail, with a monster morning pa rade, will exhibit at Alliance on Friday, June 19. Better arrange your plans to go, as it will be the only large circus that will visit here this year, and none better will come any time. Notice to Alliance Property Owners.
