Dubuque, May 26.-Believing that a
band of gypsies had kidnapped her
2-year-old> daughter Mrs. Dave O'Neil,
who resides on First street, gave the
alarm and in a brief time a crowd of
n thousand was gathered, and only
cool heads prevented an attack on the
nomads. Later. the child was found in
a lumber yard in the lower end of the
city.
While its mother was not looking
the little tot wandered away from
home and proceeded TO Bluff street.
The mother shortly after noted the
absence Of her babe and rushed out
of the house searching for it. She
looked high and low and found no
trace of it. A band of gypsies had
stopped at Duggan's blacksmith shop
to have wagons repaired and the con-
viction was reached that the wander
ers had secured the child.
The news was spread broadcast rep
idly, and throngs began to arrive.
They came from all directions, east.
west, north and south. Women left
their household duties and rushed 20
the scene of the excitement. Men
left their Offices and stores, while
hired hands forgot tina they We're
working and swelled the growing MOB.
All were convinced that the gypsies
had the babe. Some radicals pro-
posed an attack but cooler heads ruled
and the gypsies We're saved from harm.
1t is estimated that fully a thou
sand gathered With the sound of alarm.
Manyp We're unruly. No idea was en-
~tertained that the child could have
continued walking. Practically every
one in the crowd firmly believed that
the girl was slowed away in a sack,
in a box or Under blankets.
Feeling ran high and a demand was
made upon the nomads for the return
of the child. The leader of the band.
a swarthy, dark-skinned son of Rou-
mania, entered protest against the
demonstration. He was frightened as
he stood up before the angered crowd
and declared that they did not nave

Finally, a demand arose to search
the wagons and the baggage of the
band. Not attempting TO stop the
searchers, the gyps;es stood by as men
proceeded to examine all Of the be-
longings, turning everything topsy-
turvy. After several minutes work
the searching squad reported that
there were no developments, and the
crowd began to dispense, going back
to their homes, offices and workshops
unable to solve the mystery of the
chiid's absence.
The gypsies were only o. happy to
pack up and make a hs1sty exit.
1t appears that after the child Left
home it wandered down Bluff street,
turning into the Peter j. Seippel Lum-
Der Company's yard. No n knew it
and little attention was paid to its
crying.
Some time after the demonstration
at First and Locust streets, h sirl
was found in the lumber yard and re-

An interesting question that will
probably be discussed at the next
meeting of the State Bar Association
by the lawyers of iowa is how to
abolish the Contingent fee evil. 1t is
complained from many quarters that
the profession is being brought into
%disrepute by a class of men who are
called Ambulance chasers." This
means the man who when he hears of
an accident establishes communication
with the injured person and offers TO
take his case against the corporation
where he was injured IN a contingent
fee, or a stipulated percentage of
whatever the judgment ma be. 1t is
disclosed by cases in Polk and other
ties do not get more than about thir-
ty-four per cent of the judgment, the
lawyer getting the remainder. 1t has
been suggested that a law might be
enacted f~orbfdding contingent fees.
But such a statute could easily be
evaded by the lawyer taking a note
for a certain sum from his client and
then fling an attorneys lien on the
Judgment. One method that is being
discussed with some favor by the legal
fraternity is to create a law giving
the judge of the court in personal in
jury cases the power to fix the fee fol
the attorney for the plaintiff. In this
way il is urged the real injured party
would be assured of a reasonable
compensation out of the judgment anG
the practice of extorting from clients
large and outrageous contingent fees
would be at an end.
Another practice that is objection.

Des Moines, May 26.-Incarceration
in the state ~penftentiary under an
eleven-year sentence may yet prove a
blessing rather than a curse to c.. w.
Owen, convicted in Polk county of OBJ
tanning money falsely and of perjury.
For years before his convictions Ow-
EMS eyeSight va; failing. At the tine
see ten feet ahead of him. Now his
eyeslght is about gone. DR.. Dean Of
Iowa City. specialist for the state who
visits all the penal institutions, be-
lieves the eyesight of Owen can be
saved by proper treatment. According
~ the state board of parole will ask
Governor B. F. Carroll to suspend
Judgment in Owens case SO that he
may be removed to Iowa City to be
there treated at the hospital under DR..
Dean. 1t is suggested as hardly prob
able that Owen would try to escape as
TO do so would mean to lose his eye
sight, while if he remained he might
be cured and thus able to see when he
com pletes his term. Under the law the
time spent in the treatment of his eyes
could not be counted as time spent on
mis- term but it is said Owen is willing
to forego his if his sight may be
.aved.
owen was convicted in Des Moines
in 1906. and sentenced six years for
obtaining money under false pretenses
and five years for perjury. At the time
Of his conviction he claimed to be a
teamster contractor and had been a
walking delegate for the teamsters'
union. The question of suspension of
sentence while his eyes are treated has
been taken up with Governor Carroll
by Chairman William Berry of the
board of parole and it is thought prob
ably the man will be given scientific
treatment at Iowa City by DIR. Dean.
An Interesting recollection in con-
nection with Ovens trial here is the
fact that while he was in the county
Jail awaiting trial he claimed to have
seen Griswold. who was supposed to
have been drowned in the river, the
night Of his disappearance near the
Union depot, a block away. At that
time his evesight was so poor he could
not hold mis- coffee cup under the
spout Of the coffee pot when the jail
er passed around the rations. His
claim was never taken seriously tho it
caused some excitement at the time as
many thought Griswold never was
murdered and that the body was a
substitute.
