Yesterday morning the gypsies that
had been for some time encamped In
Richardson's woods struck tents, geared
up teams and started down the pike to-
wards Newport. When the caravan
reached the Folly woods one Of the
wagons was backed down 10 the summer
road, and they had some trouble to get It
out again. About this time Charles l.
Stengle Of this city came along on his
way to Newport, and another team came
up at the same time. They offered tho
gypsies assistance, which was not ac-
cepted. One OF the drivers then gave the
near horse cut with awhip, which made
him start so quick that single tree
broke. This angered the driver, and he
jumped from the wagon and picking up
a piece OF the broken single tree com.
menced beating the horse over the head
In terribly brutal manner.

eyes Of the poor horse protruded from
their sockets. He became SO weak from
