But some they nod an never mind

CIRCUS Cash GONE
Thirty Thousand Stolen From
Forepaugh & Sells.
SHOW PEOPLE BAFFLED
Haul Was Made While Wagon Was
on Flat Car En- Route to Tarboro,
NJ. C.-Many Arrests Made
But No Clue Found.

While en- route on a Hat car be.
tween3Greenyille. and. Tarboro, N. c.,
early Saturday morning, the ticket
wagon OF the Forepaugh & Sells Broth.
ers' circus was entered and robbed OF
$4,000.
,.,. The entrance to the wagon was ef-
fected' by the use of the regular keys,
which had been stolen from the treas
urcr Of the circus. The robbery was
not discovered until after the entire
circus. which was travelling in three
sections over the Atlantic Coast Line,
had reached Tarboro.
The ticket wagon was on the second
section and arrived at Tarboro at
o'clock Saturday morning. The first
section reached there half hour ear
Her and the third 1T O'Clock in the
morning.
1t was o'clock before the robbery
had been discovered, and from that
time on until late Saturday night.
when the last report was received at
Norfolk, search of the people con-
nected with the circus was in prog
ress. The police are holding man
and woman. both performers, on sus,
picion of having committed the rob-
berry.
Several theories are held by the po-
lice and circus people. One of these is
that the robbery was committed while
the train was in molten and that the
money was thrown off the train.
Searching parties were sent out
along the line between Tarboro and
Greeuville in an effort to find any trace
of the money or Of any person who
might have left the train with it.
Another II 9ory is that the cash has
been hidden in Tai boro by the rob-
bers, and innumerable search warrants
have been sworn ont. Armed with
these, the regular police and special
detectives searched every place in Tar.
boro thought likely to conceal the
money.
There were score Of arrests made
during the day among the circus peo-
pie. All apprehended were taken into
custody on suspicion and while in the
town lookup their belongings were
searched at the show grounds.
Absolutely no trace OF the money
has been found.
