A Mexican orchestra and Ell Paso
audience saw an Ethiopian aggrega-
tion TO a cake walk last night at Chopin
Hall.
There was nice long wait of two
hours and then the curtain was raised
on a dazzling display Of costume such
as Cleopatra in her fondest dreams of
splendor never conceived. II she had
conceived any such thing, she would
have been mobbed and the asp would
have lost it's job.
There may have been artists in the
cake walking line. but there was
nothing in trousers or skirts that ap-
preached Mark Terrell IN magniticence

Tower of London beef eater, and a

company. He was an excellent imita-
ton of car of White Oaks coal shift
ed around on the underpinning of the
Juarez chief of police. He was the
funniest thing that ever performed,
and the audience took him to its heart
and applauded him to a standstill. he
weighs 250 pounds.
The master of ceremonies was Ed.
Wilson, the champion cake walker of
FIT. Worth, lei Paso; Isleta, and Alfalfa.
He has that peculiar knock of all great
cake walkers OF lifting his foot off the
ground like prancing horse the min
ute it touches, as though the earth was
full of pins, and the way he manipulate
ed himself, and q cane embroidered
with seven yards of flowing ribbon
hand the other contestants, was graft
flying to the esthetic senses.
The first couple deservingly won the
cake. Their names are Tom Rice and
Fannie Madjcy, and they pranced to
fame and favor with the full approval
of the people who saw them. They
won the cake, and the title Of cham

Man Arrested in Sioux City who Left
Cedar Rapids Mysteriously
One Year Ago. KS

Marshal Kozlovslly returned toCedar
Rapids from Sioux City, having in Gus
tody Fred Bradley, who has been liv-
ing there for several months under the
name of Fred Lewis. Bradley is a very
clever fellow, and has highly re-
spectacle family. Whisky and women
caused his downfall, and he has been
in many scrapes. About year and
half ago he secured a position as book
keeper at the T. NJ. Sinclair & Company
packing house. He worked there for
several months and conducted himself
in an upright manner. One day he
committed some little act and lost his
position. A short time after that, about
year ago now, he conceived the plan
of making big haul. The packing
house people, where hogs or cattle are
delivered, simply Issue weight tickets
to the sellers. These tickets contain
the number of head of stock, the
weight, price per pound, and
the amount in dollars and cents, and
when Endorsed on the back are cashed
at any of the banks. Bradley had Sc
cured number of the blank weight
tickets, properly signed. These he
filled out for various amounts, and
secured the assistance Of ex-convicts in
getting them cashed at the banks.
Something over $1,000 was secured in
this way, when Bradley got scared and
skipped out, before cashing about $1,000
worth of tickets he had prepared.
Three of the men, Dick Bowman, Nor
gan Chase and Fred Lewis, who cashed
the tickets, were arrested, and all are
now in the Anamosa penitentiary.
Until few days ago no trace could be
secured of the whereabouts of Bradley.

WILL CONTINUE BUSINESS.
John 9. Goodwin Says the Interna
tional Packing Company Plant
at Sioux City Will Not Close.

John S. Goodwin. of Chicago, counsel
for the Bank of Montreal, says that the
Sioux City plant of the International
Packing company will not close down.
Mr.. Goodwin says:
ut will be seen, think. that the bond
holders have been crowding out the small
shareholders. When the process Of elimi-
nation has taken place the bondholders will
take hold of the property of the company
and the Sioux City plant will continue in
operation. My belief is that the Chicago
plant will not be reopened for some time.
1t is probable that the business of the COM
pany will be directed from the Sioux City
oftice-in other words, that Sioux City, in
stead of Chicago. will be the headquarters
of the company"

CHAR JED WITH FORGERY.
His Wife ana Her sister, AR
rested i'm Ottawa, Ill.

Sheriff T. j. Shoemaker went to Otta-
wa, ILL.,. and took to Marshalltown a
young man named w. o. Hedrick,
wanted to answer to the charge of
forgery. But back of the forgery
charge is more serious offense for
which. unfortunately. he cannot be pun
ished unoer the laws of Iowa.
With his bride of month, Hedrick
arrived in Marshalltown a few weeks
ago from 4Rrits.. aud secured position
as waiter in hotel. Two days later
Mrs. Hedricli was stricken with paraiy-
sis affecting the entire lower portion of
her body and rendering her absolutely
helpless. AS Hedricll had no funds with
which to provide medical help or a
nurse, the hotel proprietor took pity
on him and allowed Hedrick and wife
to remain at the hotel requiring no
work of Hedricll except few light
jobs occasionally. Miss Anna Nichol-
son, of Forest City, sister of the un-
| fortunate Mrs. Hedrick, arrived to care
for her sister. Realizing the desperate
alton in which her sister and hus-
band were Miss Nicholson wrote to
her relatives in Forest City for finan-
cial assistance, and in response received
two drafts. one for $50. drawn in favor
of Miss Nicholson. and the other for
$25 drawn in favor of Mrs. Hedrick.
These were deposited temporarily in
trunk. with $50 in cash which had
been the property of Mrs. Hedrick be-
1 fore her ma rriape
Soon afterwards the cash, drafts and

and an investigation revealed the fact
that Hedrick had forged the names OF
his wife and her sister to the drafts
had them cashed at two of the local
banks, and then left for parts unknown
The matter was at once placed in the
hands of the sheriff. who located the
