claimed not to be gypsies, but the woman
sold lace etc. gypsy style) The camp
was situated between the Sheldon house

suddenly lurched to one side throwing Oc-

the carriage. Mrs. Hollensworth and Mr..
Ariel laid insensible for some time. DIR.

the elbow and fourteen pieces of bones
removed; besides being terribly shaken

one cracked. Mrs. Lamorder was not able
to lift her head from the pillow next day.
Her fall gave her nervous system a ter
