Residents of the east part of the
city have been complaining to the po-
lice of the action of a band of gyp-
sizes encamped on the river shore north
of Brooks crossing. The men trade
horses and the women go about telling
fortunes. There are 25 in the band.
They promised TO move Monday. but
one of the women took sick, and they
asked to be permitted to remain
through the week. They were told
they could do SO if they behaved them
selves and ceased annoying people.
The women are the nerviest graft
ers that have ever invaded the city
For a week they have been securing the
Offices and stores in the business
district in the three cities. and when
their work becomes SO strong that the
police are called in they turn their
attention TO the residence districts.

and reached for his watch to see how
much time he had given the gypsy,
he was astonished to discover that his

meditating what course to pursue:
whether TO notify the police or take
after the gypsy, the woman reappear-

HAD JOB IN RESTAURANT
That is What Mrs. Roger Told Before
When She Left Home.

Policeman Dennis Mccarthy yester-
day afternoon called on the relatives
of Mrs. Christine Roger, who has been
missing from the city for nearly a
month, without a word having been
heard from her. They reside in the
west part of the city. They told the
officer the last they saw of Mrs. Roger
was when she left stating that she had
obtained place at Twentieth street
restaurant. Mrs. Roger did not call at
the restaurant in question, and where
she went after leaving her folks is
mystery. Inquiry made over the three
cities for her has failed to bring any
trace of her. Her relatives do not
believe that she would make way with
herself
