The Wild West show at Third ana
Broad Streets attracted much attention
last nignt 10y no performance beng given
The reason was the threatened trouble
between the negroes and the men con-
nected with the show.
Tie cause of THIS vas that two MeAl-
cans, named King Carlo and BurE0a
Carlo, had been bailed for an assault upon
Isaac Green (colored), on last Wednesday
and the negroes had called upon Mr.. Bos-
stock, and, receiving no satisfaction from
him, had threatened to take the matter
into their own hands and clean out INC
entire troupe. The police were not hed o. %
the proposed attack, and several extra
officers were on duty there last night
keeping the crowd away, so that no uou-
BILE was experienced
KING CARLO ARRESTED.
The bondsmens of the two Mexicans last
night reported TO the officials that they
desired 10 surrender the men, and Ser

GREEN REPORTED DEAD.
The arrest of Carlo caused much talk
on the street and soon the report was out
that Green was dead. This, however
proved to be untrue, for when inquiry
was made at MS home he was said TO be
much improved.
The crowd around the Wild West show
was mostly composed of negroes, and al
though no attack was made on the place
because OF the vigilance of the police. it
is possible that such an attack had been
planned.
BAD MEN.
The Wild West sllowmen are not pleas

Guilty, and, assisted by the police. they
could have easily repulsed any attack
made upon them. They stated yesterday
that if the negroes attacked them several
darkies would receive bullets.
Besides the Carlos. who are known to be
totally fearless men, are Nebraska Bill,
White Cloud, Happy Jack and Wild
Mack all of the same calibre- But for
the vigilance OF the officers a serious diff
Guilty might have taken place and resulted
fatally to many.
THE CAUSE.
It will be remembered that the negro.
Isaac Green. tried to get under one of
the ropes at the Wild West Show. One
of the Carlos cut him with a whip. The
negro went away and armed himself
with a lot of stones and a stick. When
King Carlo, who is submanager for
Bostock, got on the ballahoo stage to
make his announcements about the free
performance they were going to give,
Green threatened to strike him with a
stick whereunon Bumba Carlo hit the
negro over the forehead with the butt
end of a pistol and King Carlo struck
him a hard blow over the head with a
big war club. The negro was knocked
out and his skull was fractured. In the
Police Court both the Carlos We're sent
on TO the grand jury by Justice John.
Dr. Jud 3. Wood, who is interested in
the Carnival Association represented
the Carlos in the Police Court
