Bill Emory and "Sid".
Sid
1878-95 Sells Bros. Circus 1890-91 (Toured Australia)
1896-00 Adam Forepaugh & Sells Bros. Circus
(Bailey, W.W. Cole and Peter and Lewis Sells)
Killed Elephant Supt. Patrick (4-Paw Patsy) Meagher in Madison Sq. Garden in 1900 while the Parent Company, Barnum & Bailey was touring Europe.
Afterward while being interviewed by the Press, his Assistant William Badger", while petting "Sid", is quoted as asking "What did you kill Patsy fer?"
I wonder how Jack Ryan would have handled that?

GREAT STUFF, Buckles. John Polaesck was here researching some papers of mine, as he is preparing an article for Bandwagon. He also put me in touch with Dave Price, who, just this morning purchased a Clyde Beatty 16 sheet litho from me. John has also helped me organize a pile of papers I have on the Cristiani Show.
I guess that means Dave will have
to build an extension on the back
of his house in Nashville to hang
the new pictorial unless he can
get it pasted to the ceiling
