Wallace Statuary Troupe Leave The Show at LaPorte.

The circus left town minus one attraction, namely, the statuary stunt, says the Laporte Argus-Bulletin. The reason for these performers refusing to continue with the show was owing to the fact that the management wanted them to handle their own properties, which work had been done by a gang of twenty men, who went on a strike at Hammond for increase in wages. The performers - told the management that it was a hard enough job to look like Venus and other celebrities, without doing the common, ordinary work of laborers in setting up shop Give us a chance to figure on your threshing grocery Kill.
