FEMALE TIGER LANDED IN JAIL.

Susie Shackleford, colored tiger
of some notority, was arrested yes
terday by Deputy Sheriff McGilvray
on charge of retailing, and taken to
the county Jail. Both beer and whis-
key were found on the premises of
the house occupied by Susie and Eli
Powell, likewise an offender with a
record of arrests and trials.
Eli was not at the house at the
time of Susie's arrest and did not
know he was wanted it seems for he
went to Susies rescue, appeared at
the Jail to get her out, and Jailer
Giles added his presence to that of
Susie's on the inside. Both made
bond and were released. They will
probably be tried early next week.

FIELDS MINSTRELS
COMING soon
Big Aggregation Of Fun-Makers viii
Eclipse all Former Efforts
This Year.

Paul LaLonde who has been the
vocal director with the AL G. Field
Greater Minstrels the last seventeen
years asserts that no art in the world
appeals so strongly to the human
mind as the voice attuned to har-
mony. The blending of the voices of
a family in song is refining and up
lifting influence in cementing the love
and affection that makes family ties
lasting and sacred. The congrega-
tional singing in churches is more i'm
pressive than the singing of the most
talented choir that ever graced any
house of worship.
Mr.. LaLonde has made life time
study of vocal music. The excellent
results are apparent in the superiority
of the singing contingent of the AL G.
Field Greater Minstrels. Many critics
assert the vocal entertainments of the
AL G. Fields Greater Minstrels offer
more satisfying song than any stage
entertainment extant. Mr.. LaLonde
has as soloists Jack Altman, Jack
Richards, Walter Sherwood, Herbert
Willison, Harry F. Sievers, Alton R
Robertson, R. B. Merville, w. H.
Starr, with a chorus of twenty. No
such singing has ever been heard with
any Minstrel company previously.

BANK CASHIER
SHORT $4,000
New Orleans Business Circles Stirred
BY The Arrest OF Her
man Wulff.

New Orleans, Oct. Herman A.
Wulff, aged As years, one of the as
sistant cashiers of the Commercial
Germania Bank and Trust Company,
Camp Street branch, and trusted
employe for nearly thirty years, was
arrested last night at the instigation
of the bank officials, charging him
with shortage in his accounts aggre-
eating $20,736.9S.
1t was claimed by attorneys for the
bonding company and the bank that
Wulff had made a confession of the
shortage, but after being jailed last
night Wulff denied that he had ever
confessed and asserted that he had
not taken the money.
Wulff was domestic in his habits
devoted to his home and family, and it
was difficult to form any opinion as to
how the money had been spent. He
resided with his wife and three chill
dren at $50 Pine street.
In banking circles the belief pre-
vailed that speculation in stocks may
have been the cause of the trouble
The affair created a profound sensa
tion in commercial circles last night
where Wulff was we'll known.
He was for nearly thirty years con
nected with the Germania Saving
bank and latterly with the CONNER
cial-Germania Bank and Trust Com
pany after the consolidation.

Oregon, ILL.,, Oct THAT Mrs. Zoe
Varney Webster intends to bring di-
vorce proceedings at once against her
husband, DR.. Allen Webster, who con-
fessed to killing his third wife, Mrs.
Bessie Kent Webster, became known
yesterday.
Webster said he felt as if he had
signed his own death warrant, when
he attached his signature to time
waivers in divorce proceedings she
contemplates bringing in Cedar Rap
ids before the doctor pleads, for the
purpose of avoiding the possibility of
being widowed through capital pun
iShment
In fact, Webster signed two sets OF
papers, the second in the presence of
her father, her attorney, and one OF
the lawyers representing the prisoner
after repudiating his first signatures
The second signature followed Mr.
Varney's presentation of a brief mat
ter of fact letter his daughter wrote
the prisoner explaining that it was
her wish to be divorced.
Dr. Webster wrote a fervid reply.
Her letter to him reads:
Dear Doctor have sent the lat
ter with father for him to hand t
you in case you refuse to sign thos
J papers, thinking that the request doe
) not come from me- 1t is my desire t
, get a speedy divorce. You are NJ

Would Diuorce Bigamist
Before HIS Execution

One of the most peculiar documents
found among DR.. Webster's belongings
yesterday was the certificate of his
marriage to Blanche Mae Graft, his
first wife. He had sealed the certif-
cate, which was dated Nov. 2. 1904, in
an old medical examination paper.
On one of the many seals he wrote;
This contract becomes valid Nov.
2. 1906"
He was divorced by her two years
later.
The only way the marriage could be
invalidated between 1904 and 1905,
the police say, would have been by
the existence of another wife. whom
Webster expected to get rid Of The
police, accordingly, are seeking for
traces of wife No A.

Unusual Features In Killing;
Woman and Children IN Jail

lowing statement
Warren Alsobrooks was at their
home the day before the killing, and
told them that he was going to Slidell
that night and get some whisky, and
was coming back to raise sand" next
day, or words to that effect, and sure
enough he appeared on the scene the
next day loaded for bear" It seems
that Miss Thigpen, the one charged
with the killing, was not at home
when Alsobrooks appeared on the
scene but when she learned of the
damage being done in the home, such
as dishes being broken and garments
being torn to pieces, she Joined her
father in an effort to adjust matters.
Her contention is that she acted In
self-defense and the defense OF her
home. while the state will perhaps de-
yelop some different phases to the
matter. For instance, it is alleged
that Alsobrooks, who was a frequent
visitor to the unrestrained home or
the Thigpens, was the victim OF cir
cumstances. He was the son of good
parents, and like all boys, who are out
! Tor a good time, often came in contact
with worldly things. 1t is also ru'
mored that Alsobrooks and another
party had killed a dog belonging to
the Thigpens, and that the latter had
made threats of violence in retaliation
therefor. and that the killing was
through revenge.
The parties charged with the kill
ING will be given a preliminary hear
inc as soon as possible.

BLACK RIVER FALLS, WISCONSIN,

Lacrosse, Wis, Oct. 1.-Two thous-
and persons of Black River Falls are
today without food or shelter follow
ing a night on the hills from which
they watched the waters of Black
river overrun their town. Today
through Major McGill they sent out
an appeal for aid. People need both
food and tents in which to live until
their homes are rebuilt. The popula-
ton fled yesterday without stopping
to take extra clothing with them. So
far as can be ascertained there has
been no loss of life. Only few of the
sixty-one business buildings have es-
caped the fury of the flood and now
they seem doomed. Every grocery
and meat market in town has disap
peared in the deluge. 1t is not an in
frequent sight to see several families
partaking of a quantity of food which
apparently would not appease the
Il hunger of a working man. Communi
4 cation with the towns down Blacl
y river is impossible but it is believed
they have been carried away by the
food, possibly entailing loss Of life

That Intoxicants Must Not

McComb City, Miss, Oct. 7.-Three |
carloads of strike breakers, who were
today rescued from a mob in New Or
leans arrived here at $50 o'clock to-
night on a special train, under mill |
tary guard. and without the slightest
demonstration on the part of the
strikers were placed in the Illinois
Central shops. This is the first con-
signment of strike breakers to arrive
since the enforced departure of the

lowing Tuesday nights serious riots
The importation of these men was not
unexpected by the strikers. but the
majority of them displayed no inter-
est in their coming.
With the heavy military guard now
stationed about the railroad property
here, a repetition of the rioting of the
earlier part of the week is not an

tary authorities
The special train from New Orleans
was met at Osyka, fourteen miles
south of McComb City, by a special
train from this place, carrying an
armed guard of soldiers. Every pre-
caution was taken to prevent trouble.
The strike breakers, following the
exciting incidents of the day in New
Orleans, of which they were the cen.
tral figures, appeared to be somewhat
apprehensive of the nature of the re
ception that would be given them in
