Leonard Wells, son of the gypsy

last night that some unknown person
had entered his tent on University ave-
nue., near the Midway car barns, about
T:30 last evening and robbed him of
SO, 46o1O Of this amount $46010 was In
silver and gold and the remaining $1,000
was in certificates of deposit in several
banks in other states, principally in
Ohio. According to the story told by
Mrs. Wells to a reporter for the G / o b
last night the robbery was a veTy care
fully planned one, and the parties by
whom it was committed undoubtedly
knew where the money was located Mrs.
Wells claims that at about $50 last
evening man driving a team of sorrel
horses attached to a bla& single-seated
buggy drove up to their tent, and she
went out to see what was wanted. He
wore a black crush hat and looked 90 be
about forty-fve years old. Mrs. Wells
tells fortunes for a living, and prides
herself on being able to foretelI any
ones future with accuracy. The man
in the buggy said to her that he would
be willing TO pay her good sum if she
could only locate a certain woman for
him. He even offered to pay as much
as $l00 Mrs. Wells had faint suspi-
cion that he was some kind of q detec-

was not the case. He replied in the neg

was the likeness of the one for whom
he was searching Meanwhile, Mrs.
Wells says, he kept his eyes riveted on
the tent. After few minutes he drove
away toward Minneapolis, and nothing
more was thought about the incident un-
til about o'clock in the evening when
Mrs. Wells discovered that the satcheI
containing this money was gone from it's
usual place under the bed. The money
and certificates, Mrs Wells claims, were
done up in three handkerchiefs, and
were in small leather valise under the
bed. The supposition is that while this
man in the buggy was talking to her some
second person lifted up the flap in the
rear part of the tent and made away
with the satchel containing the treas
ure.
Tile matter was Immediately reported
to the Prior avenue police station and a
search was commenced for the alleged d
robbers. Mrs. Wells claims to have a
suspicion as to who the guilty parties
are. and is certain she can identify the
man who drove up in the rig if he is cap
tured.
The robbery is a mysterious one, and
whoever the robbers may be they must
have carefully planned their coup be-
fore putting it in operation.
