Large Tent of Buffalo Bill's
Blown Down in an Electric
Storm.
CHICAGO, July IB.—Five thou-
sand persons at Buffalo Bill's wild won
show were thrown Into a panic this
evening when half of the large ten*
was blown down in tlrfe electric storrn.
Several men and women were Injured
by collapsing seats and falling tent
poles.
The greatest damage wae done in
the "extension" tent which is just be-
yona the "Marquete," or entrance pa-
vilion and which was occupied by an
audience of more than 2,000. The
band had just finished the second
overture and the performers mounted
on horses were crowding in the ap-
proach of the arena before the grand
march when the accident occurred.
A blinding Hash of lightning was tol-
lowed by a wind flurry that lifted the
roof of the tent from the anchorage
and sent seats and tent poles flying.
Cries Heard for Blocks.
Enveloped In thousands of yards of
wot flapping canvas, terrified men and
women struggled to escape. The cries
of the frightened audience could be
heard above the storm for many
blocks. All of the people In the fallen
tent managfed to extricate themselves
with the help of canvas men and
other employes of the show.
The presence of a squad of police
and show attaches averted a serious
catastrophe.
The storm, which began about 7:30
o'clock, after a day of heat and ex-
cessive humidity, was responsible for
a number of other accidents in Chi-
cago. Accompanied with wind and
rain and lightning. It was one of tho
most severe weuther disturbances of
this summer.
