on Her Oomplaint-He Her
Child's Plucky Fight.
SAYS FHEY STOLE PRIVATE PROPERTY


The handsome villa Of the late Henry
c. McCartin. at Summit was forcibly en-
tered yast erday By detective, lawyer
and four tTuckman and several van loads
Of furniture valued at $1,000 were cart
ed away. Tile detective and lawyer were
armed with an order from the executors
of the estate of the dead man.
Since Mr.. McCartin's death several
months ago woman, who was formerly
Mrs. Witte. widow, has lived at the
villa. which is known as Bellehurst. She
claims to be the widow of Mr.. McCartin
and has filed claim to the estate with
Surrogate Lillis. She was away from
home when the seizure of the furni-
tune was made yesterday and it
knew she would not be at home. The
relatives of the late Mr.. McCartin live
in this city and the among the best in
habitants. They dispute the claim of
Mrs. Witte." who toek possession of
Bellehurst Immediately after Mr.. Nc
Cartin's death and has since allowed no
one in the dwelling but her most intimate
friends.
Mrs Wittes has two children, aged
twelve and ten years These were both
at home when yesterdays attacking
party forced the front door, Fanny, the
Oldest girl. attempted to stop the men
and made a plueky attempt to reach the
telephone to summon help. The wires,
however, had been disconnected. and she
failed to accomplish her purpose.
To say that Mrs. Witte,'' when she
returned home late in the afternoon and
discovered what had happened, was mad
all the way through is putting it mildly.
She says the men stole the goods and
that her desk, containing private papers
shat she had drawn up in anticipation
of lawsuit to establish her right as
McCsrtin's widow, were also taken. In
addition to this she SAYS the men took
away a diamond necklace, valued at
$500. that was her personal property.
.sMss. Wittep learned that the vans
were still in Summit, and she appealed
TO Police Justice Kelly to help her. He
sent constable, and McCluskey. the
man in charge of the vans. was arrested
and held in $3.50 bail
Several weeks ago when constable
tried to serve a warrant at Bellehurst,
Mrs. Witte" drove him off with horse
whip. BeIlehurst is valued at $4,000.

FINE MUSIC A FEATURE.
with the Barnum & Bailey Great
est Show ON Earth.

There are hundreds living in this COM
munity who find an added pleasure in
visit to circus in the music provided.
To such music divers the announcement
of the coming of Barnum & Bailey's
Greatest Show on Earth will be mat
ter of extreme gratifoation. This antici-
patory pleasure viii be greatly augment
ed by the knowledge Of the fact that the
ma agnificent military band of this great
est of all amusement institutions is quite
in keeping with the general superexcel-
1ence of the exhibition. 1t is far and
away the largest musical organization
will be found to be entirely complete,
embracing in its composition every
known instrument possible to use in a
military band and each instrument in
the hands of thoroughly accomplished
musician. The band is under the most
capable and efficient leadership of Pro-.
fessor Carl Clair.
During its last trip abroad musical
Europe for Eve years was astounded at
the exceptional excellence of this band.
In. such musical centers as London,
Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Munich and
Budapest the press gave the most extra
ordinary paise. Some Of them were
frank enough to say that this splendid
band was superior to any similar or
ganization of their own and constituted
itself the greatest surprise the show had
to offer They did not exDect such an
organization to come from America, a
country so comparatively new and
strange to them 1t is only necessary to
add that Mr.. Bailey. desiring to cele-
brate the triumphant homecoming of
his enormous show, has augmented the
band very materially in size and it num-
bers nearly a hundred musicians. The
musical programme will be found to be
thoroughly up to date, including all that
is best in classic music and all that is
most popular in music of the present
day. Prior to the regular performance
in the arena, this band will give prom
enade concert Of an hours duration,
