THE CIRCUS.
The Largest and Most Complete Ever
 Seen in This City.

After numerous trials and tribula- tionS en route, the much advertised F'orepaugh & Sells Bros. combined shows arrived in this city about mid day yesterday. The circus was sched- uled to reach here early in the morn ing. but circumstances over which the management had no control prevented.
 At Maricopa Junction rail turned, and several cars of the first section of the show train were ditched. Several hours were required ito right the cars and repair the track, and it was after 10 o'clock before the first train came puffing into the city, much to the evil dent qualification of a large and anx- ious crowd in waiting. The remaining sections of the train came in within an hour of each other afterward and were quickly unloaded, a caravan of wagons vending it's way to the show grounds. Then there was an exhibi- tion of the wonderful system required in the management of such an enor- mous affair as the circus of yesterday. The small array of workmen, each with

 Mrs. Helen Bury left last might for Harrisburg, Yuma coAnty, where she has accepted a school. Mrs. Bury has taught sixteen consecutive years in this city and for long time has success fully maintained a private school for children. 1t was her intention to re- open her school i'm a few days, but she received an excellent offer from liar risburg and decided to accept; more so, as the change will prove beneficial to her. She will be greatly missed both by her numerous friends and the parents who have been sending their young children to her school.
 Army worms by the million have made their appearance in Mohave county since the late heavy rains, but are doing little damage to vegetation. The coming of these worms was hailed with delight by the Wallapai Indians, who have been feasting on them for weeks past. The squaws and pap pooses gather them in great baskets and bring them into camp, where they remove their heads and drain the con tents of the worms bodies into a big kettle. line skins are thrown away. The kettle is put over fire and soup of the richest kind manufactured from the contents. In flavor it resemb. .as mock turtle

For some time past Mr.. Kleiner has not
been able to make his cash receipts bal
ance his books. The shortage continued
to grow and convinced the proprietOrs
and Mr.. Kleiner that some one was tamp-
ering with the cash. They have been on
the lookout for the thief lately with the
above result.
The negro is the same thief that en-
tered Messrs. Davidson & Avery's store

Of glass and unlatching the door. At
that time he secured twelve dollars in
cash.

A YOUNG THIEF.
Systematic Robbery Carried
on by a Young Negro
for months.
Caught in the Act and Makes
a Confession. Davidson
u Avery the victims.

For several months past Messrs. David
son g. Avery awe known that some n
was purloining their cold cash, and have
been on the watch for the thief; but their
vigilance was not rewarded until last
Wednesday, when Mr.. John j. Kleiner,
the cashier, caught a 14-year-old negro
in the act of robbing the cash draw. The
negro's name is Walter Banks and accord
ing to his own confession he has been
carrying on a game Of robbery for the
past six months.
His plan was to enter the store on the
pretense OF buying something and when
the cashier woald leave his desk he
would steal into the office and carry of
| all of the cash in sight. 1t is believed
that his stealings will aggregate between
three and four hundred dollars, about
a hundred and forty dollars of which
have been recovered.
On last Wednesday Mr.. Kleiner. the
cashier had occasion to step over to thu
dry goods department. The thief taking
advantage of his absence entered thu
office and was pocketing the loose chang
when Mr.. Kleiner returned and captured
him.
The negro then confessed that he ha'
been carrying on the robbery all during
summer, and said that he had some 9th
money hidden away in a hay shed in th
rear of DR.. R. F. jones yard, and in
tree in the front yard. Mr.. Kleiner &C
companied by an officer of the law Visits
the shed and tree and found about $14O,O

DESTROYED BY FIRE.
Residence and Tin Store of
Mr.. Teles Babin burnt.


The store and residence recently
built by Mr.. Teles Babin burnt to
the ground last Thursday about 2
o'clock p. m, The fire was occa-
stoned by a gasoline furnace. The
building was soon enveloped in
flames and before the fremen
could reach the scene the building
had been reduced to ashes. Fortu-
nately the fire was kept from
spreading ; but it took the hardest
kind of work to save the buildings
adjacent to the tin shop. No
doubt the elements aided in saving
tile buildings in the neighborhood
of the fire as rain fell in goodly
quantities while the fire was in
progress.
The sympathy of the community
is with Mr.. Babin in the loss he
sustained. Besides the building
which was a bran new Que he lost
most of his tools and the contents
OF his tin store. The building was
insured in the Phoenix Insurance
Co, for $4,000. But this amount
will not cover one.third of the loss
sustained.
