house, whose name the police refuse to
make public, responded to ring at the
door bell and found at the door a tall
dark woman, evidently a gypsy. with
child on one arm and a lot of baskets
on the other. The gypsy asked the
lady of the house il she could step in
side and rest as she was very tired
The kind hearted mstress invited the
woman into the front hall way. gave
her chair and sent an old Irish scrv-
ant who had been in the family for
years. to give the gypsy woman some
food. Then the lady of the house left
the pair together and went about her
work.
In the afternoon the old servant
came to her mistress in tears and said
that she had given the gypsy woman
all of her money: sioe, in all.
What did you do that for?" de
manded the mistress.
Because she threw charm over me

Bicycle Bandits.

FAIRMoNT,M Mimi, Oct. 1.-Two masked
and bicycle mounted robbers swept into
the little town of Sherburne, IA miles
from here, today, dashed into the bank,
murdered the cashier and bystander
and stole $1,000, mounted their wheels
and escaped before the eyes Of the star
tied villagers. The affair was conducted
with all the bravado OF the border drama
and the killing of the two, one of whom
died instantly, WAS purely wanton, as
neither made any resistance. The dead
are: j. A. Ostorn, travelling agent of the
Walter A. Wood Harvester company,
shot through the heart; Cashier Thor
burn, Bank OF Sherburne, shot in the
head.
This crime is parallelcd only by the
raid of Jesse James and the Younger
brothers, when they swooped down
upon the little town of Mortified, d few
miles north of the scene of today's
crime, shot the cashier of the North
field bank down and decamped with
large amount of money. In that inst ance
the robbers departed on horses, whereas,
today, the criminals, in keeping with
the times, used bicycles in escaping
from the enraged citizens of Sherburne.
