STOLE BLOODIIOUNDS; ROBBED
STORE.

st. Matthews Burglar Later Left
Man-Iunting Dogs Tied Mile From
Town.
st. Matthews, Oct. S.-A burglar of
unusual caution struck this town last
night. Aware of the fact that Sheriff
Hill had lately invested in a pair of
young bloodhounds, and also conscious
of the fact that young bloodhounds
are sometimes unsOphisticated, the
burglar went by the sheriffs dog jail
and stole the hounds. He then broke
into the store room OF S. Saevitz, on
Main street, entering from the rear,
where he had broken the window
bars. and stole considerable Uuan-
titles of dry goods and clothing.
About mile from town he tied the
dogs to n tree and proceeded alone.
Search is being made, but no clue has
been established. The hounds were
put on the trail. but lost it at difficult
point.

BIG CIRCUS ANNOUNCED.
Carl Observation-Disclosures Shows Arc to
Exhibit Here Soon.

Exhibit Here Soon.
| The billboards and dead walls about
the city are announcing in all the elo-
quence Of pictorial art that the Carl
Observation-Disclosures circus is to visit
Sumter Saturday. October %.
Great interest attaches to the event
particularly so because the circus is
the only tented exhibition Offering an
array of trained wild animals. The
name Carl Hagenbeck for nearly a
century has stood at the top in the
annals Of wild animals Every zoo of
any importance in the world receives
its charges from the Carl Hagenbeck
headquarters at Hamburg, Germany,
as we'll as the fact that the menageries
OF all circuses are similarly supplied.
So much interest did the Carl
Hagenbeck trained wild animals cause
at the st. Louis Worlds Fair in 1904
that Mr.. e. B. Wallace, owner of the
Great Wallace Circus, entered into ne
gctiations with Mr.. Hagenbeck. The
result was that both great institutions
were united into one of the biggest
tented exhibitions in the world. Year
/ after year the two shows have gone
on improving. AS fast as rare and
costly animals were captured in the
jungles Of the uncivilized world they
have been forwarded by the agents of
Carl Hagenbeck to the great Ameri-
can show.
But the trained wild animals which
appear in an arena with the Carl
MISUNDERSTANDING ce Circus are but one
feature of the big show. This years
program is one of unusual interest.
An entirely new array of European ar
fists have been added and are appear
Ing for the first time in the United
States. Altogether there are more
than 400 artists with the circus who
appear in the six arenas. The big
show will give an all-new street pa
rade at 10 a. m., preceding the first
exhibition. Performances are given
daily at 2 and 8 p. m.

Several others were imprisoned in
the ruins, but were soon extricated by
firemen and police officers who re-

the men at work on the building had
been accounted for, but several la

that other men were imprisoned be-
