THRILLING EXPERIENCE. x! A Night In the Jangles of Central Africa, To hear the thunderous roars of the man-eating kings of the forest, to feel their hot breath wafted through the barred win dows of a tiny cabin in the jun 1 j 1 ii Mi gics is certainly rnrimng. Fritz B runner, the famous ani . mal trainer with the John H. Sparks Shows, which are to ex hibit here Tuesday April 16 was raised in a cabin in the wilds of equatorial Africa. His father was an agent of the Royal Zoological Society of Germany, and spent many years securing specimens for that institution. Hence from childhood Mr. Brunner was ac customed to hear nightly the roars of monster lions, the hide ous tiger's growls and the snarl ing leopards and hyenas, which would engage in deadly "combats around the cabin, often hurling their huge weights against its frail wall and scampering over its roof. As he grew up in these surroundings he became a fear less hunter, meeting the wild denizens of the forest face to face and engaging in fierce struggles with the infuriated beasts. He af terwards became a trainer, and his absolute mastery over the brute creation is not equalled by any living man. A large steel enclosure will be erected in the center of the exhibition tent, into which the ferocious ani m als will he tu rned loose. Mr, Brunner will then enter the enclosure, unarmed, and put them through a remark able series of performances that will vividly ilustrate their tre mendous strength and agility. It is a thrilling, hair raising sight and one that you will never for get. The program of the John H. Sparks Shpws is entirely com posed of marvelous, expensive and 'carefuliy selected features, which make it so vastly superior to all si miliar exhibitions. Low Colonist Rates to the West via Norfolk & Western Railway. Extremely low fares to principal points in California, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and other western states; also to Al berta and - British Columbia. Tickets on sale daily until April 15th.
