WALTER STANTON
The Chantecler Man
(Extract from the Independence, Iowa, Bulletin-Journal)
v Walter Stanton, in the
fair attraction that was fully
impcrsonation of a giant rooster, Stanton pertormea on tne ;
race tract opposite the grandstand. He comes prancing on
to the track and a pretty girl appears and leects nm. UKe
all roosters he proceeds to show off a little. The lady feeds
him and gives him a drink. Stanton flaps his wings and acts
just like a big rooster act. Two young chicks show up and
play around the platform- Then the lady brings in a mam
moth egg. The big rooster ets gay with the egg and finally
breaks it to pieces. Out jumps a bantam rooster and the
larger bird proceeds to lord it over the smaller fowl. The
latter puts up with the smartness for a while, does some
lusty crowing, and finally pounces upon the big fellowanri
does him battle, the bantam winniv the struggle. The larg
er rooster gets up, somewhat rufflea, crows rather dejectedly
but with that air of importance and leaves the scene. Both
roosters demonstrate their ability as crowers, and the small
er one showed careful training. It is a good act and comes
here from the state fairs. Stanton was freely applauded.

A ROARING FIRE
AT JENKINS TANKS
When the fire company reached
the oil tanks of J. L. 'Jenkins yes-
' looked dangerous.
J From some cause or other a spark
; from the truck has caught fire and
it suddenly leaped to the gasoline
that was flowing freely from the
tanks near by. These flames also
caught on the ground and for a
while it looked as if nothing could
stop it. It was impossible to get
the truck away, and this was de
stroyed. Finally Mr. Carpenter
turned off flic gas from the tank
and the fire company by hard work
and a great supply of water man
aged to beat out the flames by pure
pressure. '
The water poured on the ground
and rolled up the mud and at last
smothered the fire. A 240 pound
pressure from the La France en
gine saved the day, or else there, is
no tejling just where these roaring
flames would have stopped. Great
credit is due the fire company for
the work they did with their splen
did outfit.
The gas truck is a total loss. The
sheds over the tanks are all burned
and the damage cannot as yet be as
certained, says Mr. Jenkins. -
