--Aband Of gypsies have been Wis
|iting some Of the towns in north
eastern Iowa and has been hitting
some of the sports for a bunch Of
their spare coin. The gypsies have
with them a horse which looks like
it might make good crowbait and
whose looks do not indicate great
amount of speed. AS usual they
are bantered for a race wherever
they go and they promptly
take on all Corners and give them a
go ending in victory for the gyp-
sizes bag of bones. They skinned
up Olewein sports and went from

Wareham's Ding Dong was taken
out Of winter quarters and given a
trimming. Last Saturday they beat

now moving on looking for more
fellows who can't recognize speed in
a sorry looking animal.-Argus.
