RK, Duiliitt, of San Faaacisco, for $1,287, the amount being a balance claimed for a recent purchase of sea-lions. The visit, it appears, was not unexpected, for the two Sells, Ephriam and Allen, with attorneys and bondsmen, were on hand, They de nied owing. Mullitt anything, but were ready to submit to an attachment, anc. asked the Sheriff to select what he would take from the menagerie. . Burke did not want any of the elepbunts, of course, but did want the. cash, and + after some whispering it wus agreed to at- tach $1,287.{n money, and then surrender it upon the Sells furnishing a forthcoming bond in duuble the amount, The money was counted out. and he laid hunds upen it, but upon being presented. with a bond in’ the sum of 32,500, signed by N. H. Hanchett and Jobn B. Jetfery, it was surrendered and the show went on. ‘The story of the Selis’ is that they con tracted | with Mulitt some months xgo to deliver them for which they were to pay $2,100 after they bad ‘been ‘on feed," and- proved healthy, sound animals. Instead of the animuis bemg delivered as per contract, however, they cluim that they were not delivered until about thtee weeks uyo, and that they were bruised, would not eut, and. all buve since died except. three: They further claim to have advanced Mullitt about tue contract, in the. expeo ne would repiace the ded animals; that they have already paid him more than he is entitied to under the circummstances; and that Mulite is in their debt on account of dumayes, inasmuch as they buve advertised a tank of [tons as one of the features of their menugerie, which thoy cannot exhibit. Mr. Mullitt’s story 1s a very different one. He claims to buve agrecd tofurnish thei with nine sea-lions at acost of $2,067, that he furnished them April 17, that they were ‘‘on- feed" and healthy, and that they were accepted, etc., in proof of which he cites that he bus been paid $1,100 on account. The quurrel, it is very evident, will have to be settled in the Courts, and in the meantime the show will gu on. Mr. John H. Murray, Treasurer of Selis Bros.’ Circus, was promptly acquitted, by Justice Miller, yerterday, on the charge of making wrong Change, there being ov’ evidence whatover to sustain the complaint. During the entire week not a slogic complaint was entered at police headquarters agaist any of the circus em ployés, nor was even a case of pocket-pick- fug, oF disturbance reported.
