James Baugh, an emplOye Of the
Leland hotel at Caldwell, was in the
city Monday night looking for Frank

for 500 on the hotel last Saturday
night. The check was on the Vel.
lingtOu National bank Of this city.
Hughes is a gambler and has been
making his headquarters at this place
for the past six or eight months. He
has been working at odd times for the
Kramer mills here. Last Saturday
he went to Caldwell and that night
while intoxicated, presented a check
on the Wellington National bank for
500 to the hotel IN payment Of bill.
The check was cashed and it was
afterward learned that it was worth
less, as Hughes did not have any
money in the bank here. Hughes re.
turned from Caldwell Monday morn
ing and Baugh followed him up here
Monday evening.
Hughes became frightened Mon
day when he learned that he was
threatened with prosecution, and that
night after supper he skipped out,
taking an oyercOat belonging TO one
Of the boarders at A. G. Green's
boarding house. Hughes boarded at
Green's and had not paid any board
since last September.
Baugh returned to Caldwell Monday
night. AS yet no warrant has been
issued for Hughes. The latter claims

An Indian Scheme fOr Mating the
Braves with wealthy Maids.
An old custom was revived by the
Nez perce Indians and their visitors
during the celebration on the last
Fourth of July. The natives of the local
tribe are very wealthy, and there are
designing mothers among the aborlgi-
mes as well rs in the different classes Of
civilized society. The young bucks Of
the Nez Perce tribe are regarded some
what like the scions of royalty in mat
rimonial circles. The maidens from all
visiting tribes were brought TO Lapwai
10 find husbands. The customs of the
tribes, which were revived for the occa-
sion. were more effective than the Bos-
ton mans way.
The young men marched forth, and
none but candidates for matrimony
joined the march. They were dressed
in their brightest colors, and each car
ried a white willow cane. As they APP
proached the tents they chanted an In
dian chorus that was as doleful as the
song of the owl, and kept time by beat
ing upon the tents with their canes.
The drumming was deafening to the
distant spectator. and must have been
iistracting TO the waiting maidens in
the tents.
At last the singing and drumming
had the desired effect. The maidens
came forth after delay just long
enough to satisfy that universal pas
sion of the mind of a woman TO drive
a lover mad with doubt. There were
more men than maidens. The former
kept up the march and the music with

ihe line of the same circle, each select
ing a husband from the line. Th'
chosen ones FASTENED to follow thei

THE CIRCUS MAN HAS DEPARTED.
TAKING WITH HIM LOTS OF
MONEY, BUT LEAVING Salts
FACTION IN HIS WAKE.

The circus is an event Of yesterday
The good time the small boy dreamed
about ever since the harlng posters
made their appearance has been real
lied To-day his little mind is all i'm
preston. In back yards, up alleys, on
street corners and vacant lots he re-
pests to his comrades, either by word
or deed the great doings Of the circus
man. II was a happy day for him,
and he and the circus will keep com
pany for many days to come. But
such is the small boy.
The grown-up people, too, came in
for a share of this festive occasion.
The small boy had it not all TO him
self There was his big sister and her
bean, his father and mother, his tail
brother they all went. In fact, it
seemed that everybody in the city and
for miles around took advantage Of
this opportunity. From daylight until
midnight the whole city was swarming
with people. The streets leading TO
the circus grounds were packed and
jammed with hurrying and excited
folk The parade in the morning at
tracted thousands of people to Market
street and the other thoroughfares
over which the parade passed and
everybody was pleased with it,
Animation ran riot all day at the cir
Gus grounds, near Front and Union
streets. The air was tremulous with
the cries Of the varies falzirs and deal
ers in peanuts. red lemonade and the
like Once inside the grounds the
crowd first took in the menagerio
which was one of the finest that has
ever come to Wilmington. They went
from cage to cage watching the huge
beasts and disposing Of bushels Of pea
nuts 10 the elephants.
But the greatest sight of all was in
the big tent Here for three hours in
the afternoon and evening the crowds
we're held spell-bound at times by the
performance Of daring acts on tho
trapeze, fancy horse back riding, Jug
Cling, mid-air performances of every
description, exhibition by trained ami
mails, balancing, tight-rope walking,
horse racing of all kinds. to say noth-
ing Of the clowns. who kept the audi
ence in continuous roar of laughter.
Much praise is given to the Police
Department for the manner inwhich the
great crowd was handled The officers
did their duty in an exemplary man
ner and but very few Irregularities oc-
CURED to mar the occasion.
