In Snake River at Idaho Falls, Ida.
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.
Notice is hereby given all Alliance
owners of real estate that alleys, vacant
places and streets adjoining must be
cleaned without delay, of all waste
