Biller Bros. Circus #16

biller0013, originally uploaded by bucklesw1. Looks like a cage to gilly the cats back and forth to the arena. Pretty clumsy arrangement, particularly on a muddy lot. Fred Logan was on this show and told me that Prince El Kigordo put this act together in quarters. Fortunately there were a lot of bystanders around when the Prince got downed one day and Steve Fanning rushed in to distract the cat and was mauled as well. Enoch Brafford came up with a gun and shot the cat. Neither were severely injured but Steve lost the tip of one ear.
