Wise County officers were called
to the Fort Worth A Denver train,
Saturday night, to assist a Wichita
officer in arresting a drunken buneh
of young men and women on the
train for disturbing the peace. As
many as could be gotten together
before the train pulled out, were
taken off and arrested, and landed
in jail. Officers phoned ahead to Ft.
Worth to arrest the remaining bunch
who were put in jail. Sunday morn-
ing Decatur officers went to Ft. Wor-
th for them, moat of them paid their
fines and were released. Two boys
were held in jail here until later.

Al. G. Barnes* Circus
Draws Big Crowd
....Al. G. Barnes* big circus, billed to
show in Decatur last Saturday after-
I noon and night, pulleed into the city
about 5:80 Saturday after encoun-
tering many difficulties in transpor-
tation from Terrell where they had
a “muddy showing" the night before.
(Decatur and community was ready
i for the show. Early Saturday
I morning, comfng flor n^es, they
waited until 10:80 p. m., when the
immense crowd filled the bip tent
in a few minutes. Those who wait-
I ed to see it said it was a good show.
The management certainly deserve
credit for carrying out their contract
and showing for two hours under
such adverse circumstances as had
befallen them. Arriving so late
the already tired man lost no time
in putting things in order for the
night performances.
