Col William F. Cody Buffalo Bib Is
always kept busy during the winter
months arranging something new in the
way Of an illustration for some historical
event that has happened and which
teaches the old as well as the young an
object lesson that all the books and

do these reproductions from facts.
This year Col. Cody will introduce his
latest spectacular effort, giving a correct
and vivid Illustration Of the heroic charge
on San Juan hill
The entire Wild West company will
participate in this beautiful picture, and
100 horses and men will be seen in the
battle. While the real fight lasted for
twelve hours the management has Sc
lected the most desperate movements
and enough is given 10 give the auditor
an idea of the evenJfu1 affair. Real
rough riders who served with Col Roose-

addition to Cuban warriors and scouts.
Indians, cowboys, American soldiers
German cuirassiers. the queens own
lancers, Cossacks and others will be
seen in feats of horsemanship and exhi-

that the exhibitions appear here on Aug.

thing is a scene from real life, pathetic
shadow withal of the past. The various
events pass so rapidly that there is not
the slightest possibility of dullness Miss

Johnnie Baker who leads all the sharp
shooters, will also be seen. Riding on

WOODRUFF IN THE Tolls
ATTORNEY IS ARRESTED. cHApcEn
WITH FoRGERY OF A
SMALL CHECK
OTHER oFFEEsEs ALLEGED
A Number of Checks Turned I'm at
Police headquarters Last
Night Witch Are At
tributed to Him.

f. G. B. Woodruff, an attorney with
office rooms ine the Court block, is again
! in the tolls. Last night he was arrested
by the police on a warrant issued by the
proprietor of one OF the clothing stores
of this city. charging him with forgery.
This is not his first experience as he has
been In trouble several times for like
offenses, but through the influence IF
friends was allowed his liberty.
From the rate at which the checks
that he is said to have forged yesterday,
came into the police headquarters last
night, it would be inferred that his plan
was to bleed a great many for small
sum each and then leave the city, but
shortly after one Of them was cashed by
a down town store, the proprietor sus-
pected that all was not right, and soon
had warrant in the hands of the police,
who recognized an old offender.
Most of the checks bore the same sig
nature, that of III D Martin" and the
handwriting on all was strikingly similar,
None of the checks were drawn for a
larger amount than SIS, and most of them
were for amounts under $40. In no case
did he make a purchase Of goods. but
| asked for cash and the amount being SO
small in each case. there was no great
cause for suspicion on the part of those
that caShed them.
Ofucer Hervin, who arrested Woodruff,
said that he did not offer any resistance,
but feigned great surprise. He would not
discuss the matter in any way except to
strenuously deny, being implicated In the
crime.
The police remember clearly his past
record They relate one incident in which
he forged a check for S. and passed it
on his WasherWoman, another where he
paid boarding house his dues in the
same manner. The evidence already at
hand of his clever work of yesterday, is
believed by the. police to be amply suffi-
Client to bind him over to await the action
of the grand Jury.
At least seven checks were brought to
| the central station between G. and 10

There has been quite a delay in the

The Municipal Signal company, which
had the contract with the city, first al
legged as an excuse for not having the
boxes and all the necessary apparatus
ready that owing to the strike and labor
troubles in Chicago it was impossible to
do the work In the time contracted But
now this Chicago company claims that
the change of the superintendent of the
police system has made things so I'M
certain that it is not sure whether Jo-
seph King or Joseph MacAuley is the SUI
perintendent by which they could COM
plete the contract, and therefore they
are prone to delay the work. This also
awaits the action of the supreme court
