cattle herder in Texas, wandering
west from his home in Wapello, this

picked up a good deal of wealth in
the west and put this money in the
keeping OF some acquaintance in
Wapello. Then the money disap-

had been swindled He returned to
his home, and, according to evidence
Produced at his trial, killed his sup

For fourteen years the man lived
with never a sight outside the pris-
on walls. About two years ago, the
prison chaplain received permission
from the warden to take the old man
up to Blackhawk Heights to let him
see the world again outside of prison
walls. The old mans delight was
childish, After fourteen years of
Imprisonment he saw for the first
time an electric street car and an au
tomobile Since then he has been
taken outside the walls several times
for little walk.

Gypsies in Arson County Again in
Trouble.

Wadesboro, Feb. 3.-The gypsy
troubles have broken out again and
from all appearances the next term
of the Superior Court will have to go
through the matter again. This
time it is civil action and the plain
tiffs, Stephen and Gregory Joan have
commenced arrest and bail proceed
ings against Emil Mitchell and Efro
Mitchell on account Of damages al
legged to have been sustained because
of the assault committed in Deem
Der. Two cases were brought and
in each case damages in the sum of
$4,000 is asked.
There is another basis for the
bringing of these suits. Immediate
ly after the recent trial of the gypsy
cases, Emil Mitchell, the one who
claims "kingship' hurried back to
Memphis, Tenn, the headquarters of
the tribes, and commenced suit
| against the Joans for malicious pros
ecution, and in his suit asked dam
proceedings tying up the bank ac-
count of the Joans, who had some
thing like $4,000 on deposit in that
city. When the news reached here
the Joans went to work to get even
and the filing of the suits followed
But the Mitchells were not asleep.
Sheriff Lowry hurried to the camp
near Lilesville to arrest the king,
Emil Mitchell and his deputy, Efro

found, and the report is that they
have gone to Memphis. kilograms
