Paul and Ruth Nelson as I remember them from the Cole Show.
We were home in Hot Springs when word came he shot himself climbing over a fence while hunting and resulting in the loss of a leg.
Later he was many years with Mills Bros. Circus and continued working Liberty Acts from horseback.

I was once told that the chant while raggin' out the Big Top between shows went:
"Break Yer Back
For Jake and Jack
And Down Stake it
For Harry!"
