Madsen late of Ranger, Texas, now touring the country on a vaudeville trip of his own. Madsen is appearing at the Lyceum today and tomorrow and stopped in at the Herald office this morning. Immedi- ately he doubled up to enter the door- way, all work ceased, Instantly the typewriters ceased clicking and the linotype machines ceased their steady hum, while more than a score of pairs of eyes gazed upward in awe as they looked upon their surprising visitor. Madsen stands 7 feet 6 inches, weighs 230 pounds and is but 23 years of age. He was born and raised in Texas and can attribute his great size only to outdoor living and hard work. For seven years, he says. he rode the range in Texas as a cowbay. At the age of twelve he was 6 feet tall and passed for a man. His mother and father are but average height, his dad standing 6 feet 2 inches and his mother but 5 feet 6. Both his brother and sister are only 6 feet tall. Some idea of Madsen's size can be obtained from the fact that his trousers mea- sure 44 inches in length. His health is of the best, he never having been sick a day in his life. Madsen is accompanied on his vaudeville tour by his pet horse, “Tinemite” which at the age of four and a half yvears, weighs but 65 pounds and is but 21 inches “high. Connecticut is the 43d state through which this interesting duo have traveled. A. E. Magnell, publicity man for the New Britain Machine company tractors, met Mr. Madsen at St. Augus- tine, Florida, last May, Mr. Madsen posed for pictures taken by Mr. Mag- nell, and. the tractor, alongside of the giant, resembled a *‘cootie.” It is rumored that while the big man was crossing a street in.
