GIRL HELD CAPTIVE
By Gypsies and Made To Marry
One OF Them.
Rescued by Her Father Who Takes
Her Home Without Pressing the
Charges ce Induction.

To be held captive as an unwilling
wife of gypsy leaders son for eight
months. compelled to go about the
streets telling fortunes during the
day and made to do the washing and
perform other menial labors for the
band at night, is the fate from which
sixteen-year-old Annie Einsig was
rescued by her father, William Elm
sig. Of Columbia, Pa.
The New York American says the
girl was located at the home Of Mrs.
S. H. Speare, on Boston Road, in the
Bronx, where she was in hiding. and
he. father, an elderly man with little
knowledge of the ways Of the world,
had great difficulty in finally getting
her away when be and she confront
ed the gypsy band, which is located
at Henderson's wharf, Coney Island.
It was while walking from her
home in Columbia to the silk mills,
where she was employed, that she
was persuaded one day eight months
ago to visit the gypsy camp on the
outskirts of the town. While she
was once within the tents, she was,
she declares, told that she was to be
held, and her protests were laughed
at. The band left the town that day.
The girls father found out what had
become of her and followed the gyp-
sizes for several days toward New
Jersey. He lost the trail. however,
and gave up the chase.
The band came to New York and
camped during the Winter on ground
leased from Mrs. Speare. The girl
was told that she was to be married
to Levi Stanley, the son Of the leader
of the band, and was, it is said,
threatened with beatings and worse
if she did not concent.
She became resigned and the mar
riage was regularly performed. when
Stanley showed the marriage certi-
hcate to William Einsig the girl tore
it to pieces, and, throwing 1t on the
floor, stamped upon 1t.
Mrs. Speare told of the treatment
to which the girl had been subjected
and to which she had been witness.
The way they treated that girl
was outrageous" she said. Il ire
ouently went into the tent and lnVar-
iablv found her crying. When they
had frightened her out OF attempt
ing to escape she was taught no" 10

JONES' WRIGHT FUED.
Took so Lives to Bring Leaders
to Senses.
kentuckians Who Fought for Seven
Years, Spend Days Of Retirement
AS Old Chums.

The principals of the Jones-Wright
fued war which waged during the
SOS in Letchor and Knott counties in
the state of Kentucky, are now
friends. It took a death-dealing
fight that lasted over seven years and
cost the lives of so men to bring
these men to their senses. Now they
live in retirement in their country
homes and spend much of their times
as old chums. John w. Wright was
the leader of the Wright faction.
He is living on the headwaters of
the Elkhorn creek in Letchor county,
with his wife and two children. He
receives his sustenance from the pro-
ceeds of a 300-acre mountain farm.
Once in while he goes after des-
perate criminal and captures him. He
will not go after fugitive from JUS
tice unless there Is high price on
his head. Caleb Jones lives in Knott
county. Both men are now SO years
of age and have retired from active.
life.
1t was in the early 70's that the
bitter warfare between the Jones and
Wright factions began. The first en-
counter occurred on the morning Of
July 10, 1882, in the town of Hind
man, Knott county. Both Jones and
Wright were backed by Is brave,
tried, trusty and true men. 1t was a
fight to the finish. Each side loss
heavily. Two days later another bat
tie followed after each side had been
reinforced and supplied with muni-
tions of war. Ten men were killed.
Men of each side of the feud were
continually in danger of tneir lives.
Comparative quiet followed for a
year, when Roscoe Mccoy was shot
from ambush at -oone 4A4.l. He was
one of Wright's most trusted men.
A challenge followed and an encoun-
ter on the headwater of Trouble
creek. The last battle was fought
on the morning of May 4, 1889, on
Cross Fork, Knott county. In the
midst of the fight Jones and Wright
met face to face Neither would give
in. Finally the two came to an agree
ment. They shook hands and made
up. Since that time they have been
fast friends.
Wright still follows his vocation as
a detective He is dead shot and is
credited with having killed 18 men
in his lifetime, but was never arrest
ed for single killing. When boy
of l6 he shot and killed Floyd Aaal,
because the two could not decide
which was the best shot in the coun-
try. Wright was a leader against the
element. In the battles with
the desperadoes he was in the lead.

one of his trusty comrades is living
to enjoy the quiet life which the for

While in Hawkins county, Tenn, car

Wright says he killed three men
and soon after his return and before
the fued with Jones broke out, ne
killed two men who had been steal
ing horses in his neighborhood. He
saws he has not killed all the men
credited to him, but that in all his
fighting he has never shot a man IN
the back. If he ran he refused 10

Railroad Assessments Raised One

press and Others Deferred.
A dispatch from Columbia to the
Charleston Post says that Comptrol-
Ter General Jones has made public
proceedings of the meeting of the
State Board OF Assessors, which was
held to pass upon the railroad proper
ty of the State.
The board made a sensational raise
all along the line. with the result
that the railroad property Of the
State is assessed at s63, 100000, as
against S32,040,319 last year.
The State board is determined,
whatever other property is assessed
at, to assess the railroad property at
it's market value, and resolution
offered by Attorney General Lyon
that there was no law for any other
kind of an assessment was unani-
mously adopted, and the values were
shot up accordingly.
Railroad Commissioner Caughman
was the only member Of the board
absent. The other members are
Comptroller General Jones, Attorney
General Lyon, State Treasurer Jen-
nings, Secretary of State McCown.
Action on the Columbia, Aiken,
Greenville and Spartanburg lines was
deferred until Jones can examine
them and estimate their value. Action
on the telephone, telegraph, Southern
express and Pullman concerns was
also deferred until Attorney General
Lyon can look into the law governing
these corporations.
June 10 was the day fixed for hear
ing the protests. The roads will
likely carry the matter into the
courts on the ground that the assess
ment amounts to confscation, but
members of the board say that the
railroads in South Carolina are worth
100000, this estimate being ar
rived at from the earnings at per
cent. The leading system operating
in the State were, of course. hit
heaviest.
The Coast Line System was assess
ed at $4,000 mile, as against SILL
