A Bum Show Outfit.
Three dead beats, two men and one woman, advertising themselves as the London Specialty Co., skipped out of town last night leaving unpaid hotel and other bills behind. They go under the names of Will G. Davis, Samson Douglas and Millie Maretta. The two men are typical bums and hobos and the woman bears the stamp of a broken down variety actress upon her countenance and they are, collectively, the "rattiest" outfit we have ever seen.
Neighboring towns should spot them, as they pay nothing and depend on their cheek to get a living. They are the biggest frauds that ever went on the road, and should not be harbored for an hour in any town.
