Stole Doctors Grip.

Ii isn't often that thief will
steal a doctors outfit, but the
Sautelle Circus carries evidently
some folks who would steal nickel
off a blind nigger's eye, just to
keep their hand in the game. On
the circus grounds during the af-
ternoon performance, one of the
circus crowd stole the equipment
out of DR.. w. D. Dorminey's
automobile, while the Doctor was
enjoying the stale JOKES of the
clowns. During the evening the
officers located their man and have
him now boarding with the sheriff.
AS the doctor is the county physi-
clan it may become his pleasure to
administer to the fellow in the
gang and give him dose out of
the same outfit.
