DAs RICE, THE ID. B.-We are fearful
that ID. Rice, the circus cuss, the fellow OF
the arena who is banking on are putation
gained years ago and has no present
capital Of merit-we are fearful, We say,
that this ID. Rice is q d. B. He imposed
somewhat on our credulity and left US TO
mourn his departure, bu. he played q
scurvy trick on Noyes, hi. brother circus
man and rival. A printing firm in Buff.
falo had shipped to Noyes, at this place,
five boxes Of Illuminated posters and pro.
grsmnss, worth to Noyes about $4,000.
Dan in some way learned that these bills
were at the depot while he was here in
this city. He represented to Mr.. johnson,
the railroad agent, that be WAS Noyes
partner, and obtained the boxes from the
company, receipting for them. Noyes ar
rived here yesterday and informed John
son that Rice had played trick that was
vain. johnson telegraphed to Memphis,
At which place Dan is now performing
and had the innocent clown brought up
with Il short turn. If Noyes were not
tender hearted chicken, Dan might have
tho high privilege Of retailing his stale
jokes to fellow prisoners between stone
walls.
