IN ROMANY ROMANCE
Pair Married with Mysterious
Secrecy Monday Afternoon.
KING CosTELL1EO PERFORMS RITE
Emissary from doe Adams Camp in
Omaha and His VISIT Throws
Florence Egyptians IntO
Great Excitement

Developments in the mysterious and
tragic omanc Of the gypsy. camp at Flor
ence come in rapid succession. A new
CULVER Of excitement spread over the camp
of the wanderers Monday afternoon, when,
without imparting enlightenment to his
fellows King Marcus Costillieo brought
forth a gypsy youth and a young woman,
apparently an American, and had the
tribal marriage ceremony performed before
his tent.
With the strange ritual ended, the couple
disappeared as inexplicably as they came.
The identity Of the groom was not dis
closed. The bride, IL has been learned,
was known only as Miss Stevens" She
is a fair, slender young woman, of dis
tinctly Saxon features.
The pair is not in the gypsy camp. All
connected with the wedding was conducted
with the utmost secrecy. None but gypsy
eyes were allowed to gaze on the bridal
couple or to view the which
united them. George Gamble, marshal OF
Florence. who was stationed, on the ground,
was induced to leave on an errand ar
ranged by the king. In the hour he was
absent the pair were brought forth, mar
ried and spirited away.
Just prior to the wedding ceremon a
son Of King Marcus Costillieo was called
to the telephone office 90 answer a long
distance call from st. Louis. He held a
conversation with a Miss Emma Schleifer
there. His tidings, whatever they may
have been, threw the camp into uproar on
his return.
The gypsies were in a panic Monday
night when they learned that a man from
the Joe Adams camp in southern Missouri
had been seen in Omaha. This has caused
the camp to be much exercised.
The festivities continue nightly. The
marriage on which so much of tribal
rivalry hinges, involving the eliminating
climax Of ancient feuds, is yet to be per
formed. 1t is as much a secret as that
which was held Monday.

Plant Under Escort of Assistant
Engineer Camper.

Some day this week Assistant City En-
gineer Camper is going to take a delega-
ton of city councilmen to inspect the as
phalt repair plant.
w are now working over the old as
phalt," said Mr., Camper, something that
has never been done before, and are maxi
ing fair progress, but we feel sure that
when the council sees the difficulties we
are working under the members will be
willing to make a proper appropriation at
the beginning Of the year"
The machinery and appliances in use at
the city repair plant are all home made.
"They show what can be done under the
spur of necessity" says Mr.. Campen.
but are not by any means what we need
to do good and effective work. A private
concern with similar work to do wouldn't
tolerate the makeshifts we work with for
an hour, and which the city cannot afford
any longer"

OF EXTREME CRUELTY
Array of Fierce Charges Preferred in
o Cases Against Sew
eraI Husbands.

Extraordinary tales of cruelty by hus-
bands toward wives are recited in petit
lions for divorce just filed in district
court. and, IL the half be true, a Russian
moujik treats his spouse with tender So
licitude In comparison.
II is recited that one husband threw a
china plate at his wife, striking her on
the side OF the head, that he poured water
on her, and after the ~drenching. refused
to let her change her clothes, and that he

This is not all in this ease, but Il is a
fair sample of the charges, Another manly
husband is accused Of striking his wife
on the chin with such force that the end
OF her tongue was bitten through so that
she could not eat for several days. An
other husband threw a flatiron. The same
man drove his wife and children out into
the falling snow. Nor did she have a
Paisley shawl to wrap around her head.
a few more samples Of cruel ehavior
are the following;
Dragging wife around room by the hair
OF her head.
Coming into kitchen when supper was
or the stove and emptying contents OF all
pots and kettles on floor,
Telling son, not to call his mother mann
ma, but "a crazy woman and urging
him to whip her.
%Forbiddlng all visitors, men OF women.
Substituting SKINNED milk for fresh
milk, set aside for use Of baby,
Compelling wife to wait on him at table,
and driving her from it when she herself
would sit down.
