It is said that an unusual number
Of parasites in the shape of bunco
sharps and confidence men have at
tached themselves to Bond Bros cir
Gus which appears here week from
next Monday. Their victims have
been numbered by the hundreds, so
plausible do they appear. Let us hope
that nobody in this city will be %
green az to be taken in by any "sure"
game while the circus is here. Fore
warned is forearmed, and if anybody
