train was very late reaching this city, and
the men spent some time about the station
where they attracted much attention, as
they Were curious looking lot of people.
Nearly all were well and very warmly
dressed. Quite number of them Wore
earrings OF tremendous size and some of
them had accordeons and other musical
instruments. which they played, and
which included trunks and packages of
every conceivable kind, We're loaded on
four omnibuses, which were filed and
hauled to New Holland. The men, with
their boss, walked to that place and as
the drove of swarthy looking fellows passed
through the streets they were closely OBJ
