THE GYPSY ENcAMPMENT
From Fridays Daily:

Were the Gypsies in Ocala last
night? Well, rather They arrived
and took possession of the grove sur
rounding the j. r. Moorhead resi-
dence, and not satisfied with that,
they also overran the yard and the
home, and for some hours that section
OF Ocala was exceedingly gay and fes-
tive, and there was a frolic right
among the young people, and many
older ones as well. 1t was an exceed
ingly hot night, and but for the fact
that there were several other attrac-
tons on for last night there would
have been a still larger crowd pres
ent.
Mrs. ]. R. Moorhead, who had this
affair in charge, planned and execut-
ed eevery detail in a splendid manner,
and she had her two daughters and a
number of other very valuable lieu
tenants who assisted in making the
evening a success.
The Gypsy tent, where there was
fortune telling and various other
stunts, were pitched in the big oak
grove, and there We're twinkling
lights, bon fires, etc, which added
much to the attractiveness of the
scene.
While the fortune telling. horse
swapping and games of various kinds
were going on in one part of the
grove there was music in the house,
which enlivened things considerably
and in another part of the yard the
following splendid supper was served
for the ridiculously small sum of 50
and so cents: Chicken pillau, Corn
on the cob, with hat butter sauce
stuffed tomato salad, pickles, saltines,
sandwiches and coffee.
Several of the little Gypsies were
prevailed upon to leave their camp
and serve this delicious supper, which
service made the neal all the more

JONES BILL TO BE AMENDED
Act to Extend Time for Desert
Claims to Apply Only in Three
Counties, Particularly Horse
heaven.

The bill introduced by Senator
Jones and passed in the senate of the
United States. whose intent was to
extend the time for three years to
desert land entrymen if they had failed
to put water on their land because
disappointed by an irrigation COM
pany, is to be amended before being
passed nv the house of representa-
tives.
This action is taken by the consent
of Senator Jones. Immediately after
the bill was reported in the public
press. senators and representatives at
Washington were deluged with tele-
grams and letters especially from this
section, protesting against the pas
sage of the bill. 1t was branded as
the rankest kind of legislation. the
effect of which would be to favor
corporations and work an injustice to
individuals.
Senator Jones made an appeal to
the legislature of this state asking for
an official approval of the bill. This
was done in the house of representa-
tives at Olympia, but strong oppo-
sition developed in the senate. Sen
ator White. of Bellingham, who is
one of the contestants against a
desert land entryman at Moses Lake
led this opposition. This week SEN
ator White received a communication
from Senator Jones Offering a COM
promise.
He suggested that the bill bs
amended so that the extension of time
shall be granted only in the Horse
