BAND UNDER SUSPICION.
Gypsie Women Pretend to Tell For.
tunes For MinOt People.

Five families of Gypsies who for the
past several days have been camping
near the pest house at Minot, have
been ordered out by the police. Some
suspicious of theft have been enter
tanned against the band of wanderers,
and some of the leaders have been
interviewed by the chief of police
and ordered to leave their camp
ground, according to the Minot Optic.
The women of the band have begged
on the streets and otherwise annoyed
the residents of the city. The pople
living nearest the camping grounds of
the normads. have been in fear, having
been visited frequently by the female
members of the band on the pretext
of telling fortunes as we'll as asking
for money.
Many of the young people of the
city have INDUCED the cheats in their
fraudulent methods, and paid them
money. for their fortunes. They are
cheats, and, are often thieves as web.
The record of Gypsy bands is that all
communities that have tolerated their
presence have lost valuable articles.

Eastern Writer Tells Of Great Fish and Game Preserves Of

just the "call of the wild" that attracts
people to the Temagami forest reserve

asking each one Of the tourists you
meet in the region. There are many
parties out all the time. You may
meet several a day, particularly If you
are on one of the more commonly TAX

which you can turn and on the shores
OF which you can camp as long as YOU

creatures OF the forests. And, by the

The guides will teach you that soon.
Parties have been going through this
country more or less for years, but un-

the Indians to coasting schooners and

The civilized method of preparing
the shell is to kill and clean the turtle
