Amelia Brought Home.

Mrs. John Parent, known in circus life as Mammoth Amelia, arrived in Lafayette Wednesday night from Jeffries, owa, wearing a tag on which was written her name and address. Her mind is a blank. In Chicago, where she was put on a Big Four train, the conductor had the assistance of the entire train crew to get the Lafayette freak on board. She was lifted up to the side door of the baggage car after being hauled along the platform on a baggage truck. Captain Edward Osborne and four policeman removed Amelia from the station when she arrived in Lafayette. Amelia weighs 490 pounds.
