Last Sunday band Of rowing gipsies
encamped near Daneris corner, on the
fernando road, where the street rail
road turns down to the cemetery. A
colored girl went to the encampment and
had her fortune told by an old woman.
Not liking the predictions as to the fu-
t1re, the girl refused to pay for the
information and left. The gypsy men
followed and whipped her severely. Late
on Sunday night party of negroes sp
preached the camp and fred the con
tents of several shotguns into the tents,
severely wounding one OF the gypsy
women. Next morRing the encampment
was broken up, the gipsies putting the
wounded woman in wagon and moving
off rapidly. Those who saw her say that
she was shot in the head and was suffer
ing intensely from her wounds. All this
took place outside the corporation where
