GYPSY TRAMPS.
They TerrorIze Couple of Oakland
Ladies Into Giving to Them.

They TerrorIze Couple of Oakland
Ladies Into Giving to Them.
Thursday afternoon, says the Oakland
Enquirer, two large gypsy women knocked
at the door Of house No. $40 on Sixth street,
and as soon as the door had been opened by
one of the ladies of the house one of the
gypsies sprang in to prevent the closing of
the portal in their faces. There was no one
at home except the two ladies, and this fact
the visitors soon managed to learn, where
upon their demeanor became overbearing
and impudent in the extreme. Their first
demand was to be permitted to tell the for
tunes of the ladies, but they were told that
their professional services were not required.
This did not abaSh or discourage them, but
only melted them to increased impudence in
their demands In fact, they displayed a
disposition to search the premises.
They demanded to know of the now trem-
bling ladies how much money there was in
the house, and were told there was none.
Can you look me in the face and say there
isn't any?" shouted one of the women.
Their next inquiry was about silver serv-
ice, and they were told there was none.
Then they proceeded to ask about clothing,
and one OF them picked up some curtains and
said she would carry them off. She was also
going to appropriate some embroidered
aprons which struck her fancy.
These demonstrations were probably in
tended to intimidate the ladies into giving
them something. and. at any rate. they had
that effect, for before they would go they
were bribed with bird-cage and also with
a new bed-comforter.
Before the gypsIes left the house one of
them pulled out her purse and showed the
