It was on the day the Ringling Bro's show was here

I posted this on my social media account but thought I should probably mention it in a blog post.  When I find mention of an event in court records I like to check the newspapers to see if there are additional details of the event.

From Samuel H Francis' statement (top of pg 72) of the Henry F Hill Investigation File  He is asked for the date that something occurred and he references the Ringling Bro's Show being in town(Ft. Smith, AR).  

I checked at Newspapers.com  and found that The Ringling Bros Show was there in late Sept 1902 setting up and specifically opening Oct 1st.
