Mr.. William Stone the druggist, saw
the robbers although he did not think
much of it at the time. He passed two
young men about q years old, who were
rapidly walking down Exchange street,
one of them with big bundle under his
arm. When they passed Mr.. Stone they
attempted to conceal 1t but he noticed 1t
was a slot machine. This robbers evident
ly thought the machine had not been
emptiad Tor the week and counted on
obtaining quite a sum hut Mr.. Wheeler
had opened it but q short time Iefors
and removed what money had accumu-
lated SO he does not think there could
have been more than Is cents in the box.

The evening times., 1899-11-13

markets, have often been attracted :. by
the glittering offers in horse flesh which
have been made by the gypsies. Several
transactions in this way have been made
and it is said by some who have accepted
these offers that the gypsies have inva-
riably profited by the exchange.
The female portion OF the camp has made
frequent excursions to Washington and
has been seen canvassing the city, selling
fancy articles. Among the brokers' offices
in the business section of town. the for
tune tellers have found an especially lu-
crative field. Many of the dealers in
stocks who have the reputation of being
superstitiously inclined. are to be found
among the patrons of these seers. In sew
eral instances, it is said, deals" were
made during the past week upon the ad-
vice of some dusky oracle. by whose occult
powers the secrets Of the bulls and bears
of Wall Street were revealed.
1t is likely that the cold weather of yes
terday and today which promises to con-
tinue for some time, will hasten the de-
parture of the gypsies.
