I wonder if the "Rampo del Morte" is the same one Bob Atterbury used to bring down on the Texas Shrine dates?

I believe some source identifies the rider as William Wallet whose family and children were around medium-size shows for several decades. They were last on Hunt Bros. for several years until about 1950.
On the right side can be seen the structure for the Fighting the Flames act. The shows were seen at a number of amusement parks and the king of them all is a feature of the 1904 St. Louis world's fair. And for a brief time some toured as their own show. After shown on Forepaugh-Sells, jointly owned by James A. Bailey and the Ringlings, it went over to the Ringling cousins' show, Gollmar Bros.
