forth u Gould and placed in the hands
of Sheriff Niles. The manager of the

menagerie' stopped until a trial could
/ be held, concluded to refund the money
/ these two men claimed and the costs,

ty for the side show where the gambling
( operations are carried on. Whether

! these snide operators from travelling
! with his circus and we have no Svmpa-
I thy to waste on him. It i stated that
