CARSON-BARNES CIRCUS OWNER MILLER DIES
HUGO, OK

Doris Richard MILLER, whose Carson & Barnes 5-Ring Circus winters in 
Hugo, has died while on the raod with the circus in McCook. NE.

MILLER, known to most as D.R., had rejoined the circus last week to 
celebrate the first birthday of an Asian elephant born last year in 
Hugo.

MILLER owned 36 elephants and had a breeding farm in Texas that he 
had planned to move to Hugo.

Mr. MILLER, 83, underwent a series of medical tests Tuesday and was 
released to rest in his motor home on the circus lot. He died 
Wednesday afternoon.

Services will be held between circus performances Saturday, Sept. 
11, 1999 in Littleton CO. Once the circus closes its season and 
returns to Hugo in November, services will be held in Hugo and Mr. 
MILLER will be buried in Showman's Rest, a special area of the Mt. 
Olivet Cemetery reserved for circus people.

Mr. Miller has been with the circus since he was 7 years old and was 
a member of the Circus Ring of Frame.
