Mary Demitro Overjoyed When Par
ents Find Her in Clutches of Riv-
al Tribe at MarshaIItown.

Marshalltown, Ia, July at was
a story of beastly brutality that pref
ty Mary Demitro, a 15-year-old gypsy
girl, told in court here when her
father, Spedden Demitro, found his
daughter in company with Eli Bim-
boo, head of rival band of gypsies.
Bimboo is accused of kidnapping the
girl at Tauton, ILL.,, on March 25 last,
and is in jail on charge of seduc-
ton. a-t. sr
While Bimboo claims that he mar
ried Mary in Illinois, the girl denies
that there was wedding. She was
overjoyed when her parents reached
this city to claim her.
Because of his arrest Bimboo swore
out an information charging Spedden
Demitro with perjury in falsely
swearing to the information charging
seduction. Bimboo also tried to Sc
cure the release of Mary Demitro on
habeas corpus proceedings, but as the
girl was only being held as a witness
and not against her will, the court
denied the writ.

ton to Make Effort to Prevent
Publication of Fake JeweIry
Advertisements.

ISOLATION is asked to make an effort
to prevent the publication of fake
jewelry advertisements" The Iowa
jewellers believe that the national or
ganization should recommend to con-
gress the enactment of legislation to
prohibit the advertisement of a per-
feet half carat diamond for $65 when
a perfect diamond that size costs the
jewellers about $S5 wholesale.
Resolutions of sympathy were sent
