Huntington. w. Va, Sept. Tom
Arlington. who was held In Hunting
ton several days by the request OF
the Bluefield authorities. and who
made a daring escape from the po-
lice Of that city after he had been
taken from Huntington. was arrested
in Ironton yesterday by Chief of Po-
lice Brice. and turned over to the
Blueheld chief of police at Kenova.
Arlington, or as he was known
here. Arlington. blew safe in Blue
field and obtained about four hun
dred dollars. with which he made
his escape. He lived incognitio In
Huntington for several months and
was employed about town in vari-
Gus capacities. Learning that ATTY
dollars reward was offered for Ar
rington's apprehension. his own
mother planned To get the money.
Believing that her son was I'm Hunt
ington, she wrote Chief Ross a very
pitiful letter in which she told how
much she longed for the return OF
her son, and how her maternal heart
would be gladdened by his return. At
this time she was planning to get
The money for her own use and had
determined to betray her own son
to the police. with the practical GER
tainty that II he was arrested he
would go to the penitentiary for
many years. Mrs. Arlington en-
deavored to make Chief Ross believe
that she wanted her son to return
that some property confusion might
be settled.
AS Chief Ross had an idea that
Arlington was wanted for some
crime, he held the prisoner here for
several days. but finally turned him
over TO the Bluefield chief without
reward.
Chief Brice and one OF his officers
were visitors in Huntington yester-
day afternoon after delivering their
prisoner to the Bluefield chief. and
from him were learned the particu-
lars of Arrington's life.

Arlington seems TO nave been
leading quite high life here. Fri
day before Labor Day his wife swore
out warrant for his arrest for iiv-
ing with another woman. He was ar
rested. tried and fined fifteen dollars.
which his wife paid after he had
promised her TO go TO work.
That night he took No 3 to Iron
ton and his wife learning OF his des-
tination offered the chief-of- police
$50 70 bring him back. which he
accepted, sending officer Galloway
after him. He was brought back
last week and again fined ten dollars
for desertion. The Huntington pa
per is mistaken in part OF the story.
as II is Arrington's wife instead of
mother, and he was wanted for de-
sertion and not for burglary.
He was released this morning and
promised his wife faithfully 10 get

Worlds Greatest Show to Exhibit
There on tuesday, November
5th.

On Tuesday, November 9Th, the
people of this vicinity will have an
opportunity of attending Ringing
Brothers circus at jackson, and it is
probable that many will go from here,
as this splendid organization is far
better than ever before, being made

will be 1854 men, women and chill
dren, 658 horses, nine herds Of ele-
plants and three miles of hand carved
golden chariots, floats and dens, and
gorgeous spectacular attraction
Space will permit of only brief
mention of the many European novel
ties, presented in tent twice as big
as that Of any other circus. The
Riccobono horses wear boots, coats
and trousers. One sits in chair and
reads paper; when the clock strikes
ten he lights candle, goes to his bed,
removes his clothes, even to his pom
derous boots, blows the candle out and
retires. Last winter people went
from all over Europe to Paris to see
the act
An agent of the show secured,
through the efforts of an American
diplomat, permission from the Shah
of Persia to bring to this country the
wonderful Mirze Golem troupe, ia.
vorites of the Persian monarch's court
performers. 1t is the first time they
have been permitted to leave Persia.
No one ever saw the act except royal
visitors at the Shah's palace. Other
European performers are Daisy Hodgi.

turn somersault on a horse; the
Marnello Marinites, who while turn
ing somersaults and handsprings from
shoulder to shoulder, play on Swiss
bells; the Patty Brothers, of Paris.
who hop up and down stairs and skip
the rope on their heads; the De Kocks
from France, with their wonderful
dog which walks on it's hind feet
around the ring, balancing 8 man on
its head; the wonderful five Bedinis
who jump simultaneously to the back
of one horse; the Holloway family, of
London, the greatest high-wire artists
on earth; the Jordan family of aerial
