Badwater Bill and His Burro
| "The eyes of the guests popped, but room clerk Frank R. Witte, 1133 E Knapp Street, took it in stride Friday afternoon when Badwater Bill, accompanied by his pet burro, Nugget, registered in the Schroeder Hotel. It was Badwater Bill's way of telling Milwaukee he was in town to promote the state of Nevada at "The Milwaukee Sentinel" Sports and Boat Show which opens Saturday at 1 p.m. in the Arena and Auditorium." |
