Last Tuesday Gray, accompanied by the man who was shot by McCullom, rented the room for the purpose of turning out bogus money. They had a complete out- [ e R R S e I SO ] isting of molds, dies and acids, and were preparing to flood the State with spurious half-dollars when the shooting occurred. Gray was an eye-witness to the shooting, and as he at first refused to give any information to the police he was arrested and detained at the City Prison. stwithstanding that he is the man for whom the secret service detect- ives were anxiously seeking, the police ¢ nothing of his career as a _counter- er.

Late Friday night they left their room after turning out a quantity of bogus half dollars, and walked down Natoma street. When near Mission and Sixth they met McCullom, who was evidently lying in wait for them. McCullom accosted Mills and in an an- Bry tone accused him of having been too friendly with his wife. - Mills denied the charge and started to walk away. Just then McCullom, who was crazed from the effects of oplum, drew his revolver and fired two shots at Mills.

Gray, when questioned by the police, attempted to deny that he had witnessed the shooting. As he was identified by citizens as the man who was with Mills at the time the police took him the City Prison and booked him as a witness. Evidently fearing that his room would | be located and his counterfeiting outfit found, Gray yesterday sent for several friends and endeavored to induce them to have him released. He also tried to influence a former pal to visit his room and do away with the evidence of his gullt. Thinking that the police had taken possession of the trunk containing his outfit, his friend refused. Im the room were also found a Colt's revolver and an opium layout. To-day Gray will be turned over to the United States authorities, At 2 o'clock this morning the counter- g;lltlng outfit was turned over to Marshal hine. > ——— |~ EVOLUTION OF A CIRCUS |THE ADVANCEMENTS MADE IN | RECENT YEARS. With a Spotted Pig and Be- came Famous. “There has been a most complete evo- lution in the circus business during the last few years, and the circus of to-day | is far from being the circus of our boy- ! hood days,” remarked Willlam Sells, who | has been coming to San Francisco in con- | nection with circuses for several years | past. “Speaking of the original clrcus ven- | ture of Walter L. sain some fifteen years ago, he was then living on a rocky farm over in Ohlo. He conceived the idea of having a circus. As a boy he had played circus with the other boys at school. He had visited all of the traveling shows that stopped in Geneva, O., and, gaining what knowledge he could from observation, started a circus. He had a coupla of trained dogs, a cat and a sheep. Like other boys, he showed in back yards and the barns, and accepted pins and mar- i hay for the tickets to the reserved S The juveniles of the town visited the performance and brought their par- ents along, all of whom pronounce: the greatest show on earth. “One night, while he was sleeping in the loft of the old farm house, he con- cluded to take to the road. Geneva is not much of a show town, but one fine sum- | mer morning | t advertisements posted upon the d walls, calling attention to_the fact | that upon a certain date Walter L. Main's | circus would give its Initial appearance. | The_ bills were. not four-sheet posters, | gaudy in bright colors, but instead they | were plain affairs, the printing being of | the scrawly kind such as you would ex- | pect_frem ‘boys. | __“Well, the long and short of it was that | Walter L. Main had a circus. He had a tent that a party of surveyors had used, and in this he exhibited a learned pig, a cow, a dog and some hens. The experi- | ence in Geneva was the beginning of a life_career. 1t meant that he was to be a showman, potted calf that had six legs, and in a modest way and under a little tent he started out, visiting some of the nearby | towns. He made a little money, and the next year he added a camel and hired a man who could ride the horses and do acrobatic turns in the ring. At the end of the season he had made more money, and the next year branched out, bought | & few more animals and hired a few more performers. | " ““With him every promise was a pledge, and he advertised nothing he did not show. This was the beginning of his suc- cess. Since then things have been com- ing his way as well as could be asked for. Each year he has added to his show, and now has one of the best on the road. | From a show that had only a spotted plg | he has bullt up a concern that travels by three trains. There are 80 people upon the payroll, with a salary list that re- quires the expenditure of $3000 per day, 1o say nolhm% of other expenses. _ “As to San Francisco, I regard it as one of the best show towns in the country, ‘nnd always feel certain of doing a good business. This a/car we opened the sea- son in Cleveland, O., to enormous busi- ness—in fact, turned people away at all performances. “Like all other lines of trade, in order to do business you must have the biggest and the best. There was a time when the one-ring show traveled over the country and was good enough for anybody, but now if a man would start out with such a concern he would go broke inside of forty days, unless he had an unlimited banl account. To draw the crowd you must come to town with a blare of trumpets, You must first have your gilded advertis- ing ‘cars, and then you must follow this up with your smooth advance agents who can drive good bargains. After this you must have a lot of boomers who come a couple of days in advance of the show. Then as a climax you must have the show. Of course, with the circus there must be a lot ¢f gold bratd and tinsel, but on the whole it must be a show worthy of it the citizens were surprised | The next year he bought a | | upcn the | 1s to advertise and show only the legiti- patronage. Last year we had a troupe of five acrobats, each of whom drew $100 per day. It is doubtful if they earned the money, but we had to have them, and as an advertisement they were & great draw- ing card. We could have got something cheaper, but we did not want to humbug the people; and there you have it. “It is a fact that the people of the coun- try like to be humbugged, and no better evidence of this can_be cited than the Cardiff’ giant which Mr. Barnum exhib- ited a number of years ago. The flist season that the stone figure was out it was made apparent that the exhibit was nnlhlm.i‘ but a carved block of gypsum from the quarries of Fort Dodge, In“‘n but notwithstanding this thousands of people visited the show just to see the freak. One year Mr. beast which was supp and half horse. It d t0 be half man a big crowd, and he paid it a big salary. In fact, it was a money-maker until one day when the | man-haif got drunk and discarded the | horse-half, so he was left in the lurch, with all of his advertising material out on the boards. e e then Walter L. Main has gone theory that the best thing to do mate. This year promises to be a bonanza for the showmen,” continued Mr. Sells. “The country seems to be in a prosperous condition, men are at work in all lines and money seems to be in abundance. An era of prosperity is sweeping the country, and apparently there is no reason whi Fall Novelties Cream Venice all over lace in 30 different patterns at $1, $1.25, $1.50 up to $2.50 a yard Cream and white satin and taffeta in shirred, tucked and corded effects, hand- some gold and silver open work patterns, extreme novelties at $1.65, $2.256 $3 and $B a yard Black spangled and white and silver net, in an end- less variety, ranging from $1 up to $20 a yard Silver and light colored opal spangle trimmings in ain advertised a | the circus along with the o | 5om and Sixteenth streets, bein, | grounds in the city of 'San While the store is undergoing alterations, it is a very inopportune time to display new goods; but contrary to instructions our New York buyers have sent a large assortment of high class dress trimmings which will be offered at extremely low prices on account of our unsettled condition.
