THEY WOULDN'T PAY
That 500 Yesterday, and the
Circus Didn't Parade.
SUED BY EMPLOYEES
Who Complained That They
Were Fired for a Purpose.


The circus was rather tame. Lemen
Bros were evidently not in favor Of leav-
ing a hundred dollars Of their cash in the
city treasury, and rather than do so they
dispensed with their parade yesterday
morning. The streets were thronged with
people who had come down town to see
the gittering street pageant promised,
but were disappointed. Noticing that the
circus people had failed in that, they
thought that the rest of the show was
likewise lacking in interest, and many
went back home. It was a losing expert
ment for the circus. As it was, the crowd
was very small and the ring performance
Jagged decidedly
1t is said the show last night was fairly
good, what there was OF it, the perfor-
nance only continuing about forty min
utes. Many who had tickets said they
did not get in at all before the show shut
down.
The failure TO draw a crowd was not
the only trouble Lemen Bros. had yes
terday. There were four attachment suits
fled against the company by employees
who had not been paid their wages. J. /.
Overton filed the first suit, for $500 The
other suits were as follows: +. c. st.
Clair, 50; George A Smith, 81; Robert
Russell, $50. Attachment papers were is
sued on each Of the accounts, and Mar
shall Schad and Deputy Marshal Voss were
busy all afternoon searching for one Of
ho Al !
TO serve the papers. It is not known
whether the officers succeeded in finding
the right parties or not. None of the
agents or employees would tell a reporter

Drietors was

The various compliments say that the
company has a systematic way Of beating
their employees out Of their wages. They
say the company hires its common labor

variably discharges them at the end of
about three weeks. refusing to pay them.
on the ground that they had not worked
the full month out Then. they say. the
show people would drop them somewhere
between stands, in the hope, of beating
them to the next town and getting away
before the employee could get in and file
suit. This scheme, the employees say. is
kept up during the entire season, and
the show people, by changing employees
and refusing to pay those discharged. are
enabled to get through the season with a
very meager salary outlay as regards its
