Thieves.

1t is generally concadot, that the
rowing bands Of Gypsies, as a rule, are
composed largely of thieves. who do
not hesitate for an instant to commit
some act of petty thievery. While it
is true they make a pretense of max
ing an honest living to a certain eX-
tent by telling fortunes, making a
monkey or bear dance to the sweet (O
strains of music from a hand-organ, or
some other manner, but the fact re-
mains, however, that they never over
look bet.
At present there is a band Of Gyp-
sizes in Pine Bluff. They are encamped
| in wagons a few miles out OF The
city and daily make tours of the city
begging for any and everything, tell
ing fortunes to those who are simple
enough to allow them, or getting a
nickel or a dime in any manner
handy.
From reports coming from various
districts of the city, it would appear
as though the Gypsies are finding
many Pine Bluff people easy to dupe
and rob. One man, in Hot Springs
recently, giving an account Of his eX-
perience with one Of the Gypsy women
telling his fortune, has the following
to say:
n "I never want to see another for

women came into my shop the other
day and wanted to tell my fortune. I
never had my fortune told and l
agreed to let her tell it for a pair OF

Which had been left uncalled for.

AWFUL TORTURE
IN MEXICAN PRISON

PITTSBURG, Aug. 13.--Police off,
cials here have received news of the
torture of William Moffat and Ed
ward Maloney, who were arrested re-
Gently in Mexico City on charge of
robbing bank messenger.
Moffat and Maloney, the police
here say, were well known to, them
before leaving for Mexico. Two COM
panions escaped the officers when the
Pittsburgers were arrested and the
Mexican police demanded their
names. Refusing to betray their
companions, the men allege that they
were strapped by the wrists to the
bars of their cells while the officials,
with forceps, tore the nails from their
hands. Unable to bear the agony the
men gave the names of their COM
panions.
Il suppose, said Captain of De-
tectiyes Edwin t. McGough today, IF
it were not for the record of the men
their torture would mean interna-
tional complications.

GOULD SEEKS A

GALVESTON, Tex, Aug, 13.--
Representatives of the Yoakum lines
in Texas have been advised that ne
gotiations are pending between the
controlling spirits of the Rock Island
Frisco system and Gould whereby an
exchange of rights of way and court
estes is about to be completed
Coupled with this information private
dispatches say that the Hartman
Gold coalition has not been entirely
successful and that one of the most
serious objections to the combination
is the protest of the Texas railway
commission which declares the Har-
riman-Gould combination a violation
of the Texas constitution for the rea-
son that both systems have compet-
ing and paralleling lines operating in
Texas.

SUFFER TERRIBLY
ON The DESERT

SAN BERNARDINO, Aug. 13.-
Harold Braly, assistant superintend-
ent of the Skidoo Mines company,
and Miss Lottie Davis, the postmis-
tress at the camp, after terrible
f1ve-days ride across the desert,
reached the mining town alive by the
narrowest Of margins.
Braly was taking the company's
automobile through from Los An
geles and picked up Miss Davis on
the way. They went into the Death
valley country by way of Mojave, and
the trip from the latter place to their
destination should not have occupied
more than eight hours.
The terrific roughness Of the road
threw the machine out of gear fire.
uuently The Garden station was
reached after forty hours of alternate
repairing and travelling. The occu-
pants were then exhausted. Ten
miles north of Ballart the machine
broke down and the man and woman
decided to walk to the stage station
at Wild Rose.
They were so affected by the heat
that they were able to crawl but a
few steps at time. At o'clock in
the evening Braly collapsed and was
unable to arise. Miss Davis stagger-
ed onward and in eight hours she had
covered the four miles to the stage
station, arriving at o'clock in the
morning.
A relief party was sent out tc
Braiy, who was found in an uncon
scious condition. The physician sait
he could not have lived two hours
longer. He lost forty pounds in th'
1--WE days Of torture. They were take1
on to Skidoo in wagon.

WILL BRYAN RUN ONCE MORE?
This Question IL the Subject of Con-
trOversy by Two OId-Line
Democrats.

An entertaining controversy went on Mon
day morning in a large wholesale business
house on lower Farnam street between two
old line Cleveland democrats as to whether
Bryan's defeat November 3 would finally
put the lid on his determination to get to
the White House.
II believe that Bryan's third defeat will
crush him until he will actually retire to
oblivion and never show his head again
as a political aspirant." asserted one of
the men by way of an opener.
You dor" responded the other. "Wcll,
don't. / believe Bryan will bob UP four
years from now and run for the nomina-
ton just as he has been doing for twelve
Years. He has captured the nomination
three out of four times. and he has been
beaten twice for election and will be beaten
a third i've. but that, In my opinion, won't
leazc him. Why, man, defeat runs off
Bryan like water off a ducks back. He
simtly does Z feel II. He is impervious
to It. IIs just Ike Bryan said in that
letter Ia }, sterling Morton: I'm out for
the mel And why should a man who is
out for the money and who has got and Is
getting tie money care whether he wins
or loses"
