Hicks, his wife, is years old, and
who proved to be the young woman in
question. She and Hicks. il transpired,
had been married in New Castle last
Monday, the affair being a runaway
match.
Hicks was arrested at the request of
Henry Stanley, the father OF the girl,
who appeared later at the station house
in person and made the complaint. Hicks
unfolded a tale of courtship. defiance of
parental authority, and flight, made all
the more interesting by reason of the
fact that he and the bride belong to
different bands of gypsies.

and fell in love with her.
When the two bands separated. we
promised each other to marry, and she
agreed to wait a year, when she would
be eighteen. We corresponded secretly,
as her parents were opposed to the
match.
About two weeks ago my band went
to Virginia. The Stanleys stayed at
Blue Ball. Cecil county. l remained, and
with great difficulty managed TO see Pa

her. There is a custom among the gyp-
sizes that all the men who marry must
