The Gypsies Got in Some Fine Work.
L. b. Cramer, near sixty years
of age who with his wife depend
upon the days lobor for their
support, visited a Gipsey camp
Monday tnat had just arrived and
was induced to have his fortune
told. The price agreed upon was
ten cents which Mr.. Cramer
readily paid. When he got
home he related his experience
and the small price it cost to
learn of the road of prosperity
thrt lay before him. Mr.. Cramer
being of rather suspicious turn of
mind knowing he had $45 in bills
with Kim suggested he had better
count his money and see what it
had really cost him. To his sur
prise he was $40 short of what
he had when he paid the Gipsy.
He at once retraced his steps
and secured the assistance of the
police andmade search for the
missing currency but failed to
get it.
The orentals were instructed
to move on to other fields and
Mr.. Cramer remains to mediate
upon how it was done.

They returned to Kansas City
in the evening. 1t is reported
that before retiring he took a
dose of morphine so he could
sleep as he frequently had done
before. Whether it was suicidal

able called a doctor but he could
not be aroused and he died about
midnight.
