VINEGAR REPLACED
BY BAD WHISKY
Authorities at III. Smith EndeayOr-
ing TO Solve Question of How
Change Came About In
Shipment

Ft. Smith, Feb. 2.-Since the
Federal Court Of Appeals declared
the law against introducing whisky
into Indian country in Oklahoma
lis still in force and the common
carriers shut down on accepting
shipments, whisky operators have
been put to their wits end to de-
wise means for smuggling liquor
into the forbidden territory.
Their attempt to check trunksful
las personal baggage ended in one
Muskogee man, Alex Beasley, being
sent to the Federal Jail. The latest
developments indicate that the OPP
orators are endeavoring to mix
booze shipments in with the great
stream OF groceries being sent to
Oklahoma by local jobbers. One
clever scheme Of this kind came to
grief yesterday, when one of four
barrels of vinegar sprung a leak in
a local freight warehouse. The
shipment was from a local jobber
to a customer in Lehigh, in Choc-
taw Nation. The freight agent held
up the shipment and the United
Staes marshal's forces took possess
sion of it.
Investigation showed that three
of the barrels still contained bona
fide vinegar, and the fourth the
cheapest brand of whiskey, such as
bootleggers are wont TO peddle in
the Oklahoma dry territory. Today
the marshaTs Office, aided by the
jobber, are seeking a solution of
how and where the vinegar they
billed was replaced by booze.
Under the Federal law the per-
petrator Of the act violated several
stringent Federal laws; the law
against introducing; the pure food
law (for it was drug whisky; and
the law requiring the shipments of
liquor to be labeled on the outside
naming the kind and quantity of
liquor.

GYPSY GIRL WORE NECKLACE
MADE OF $50 GOLD PIECES
Arrest OF DusIsy Maiden's Father
On a Theft Charge Brings
Out the Story.

Fort Smith, Feb. "A camp of
lover 200 Romney gypsies has been
located in the southern suburbs of
this city for the past month. Yes
ierday one Of the gypsies procured
the arrest of another one named
Steven Mark who had just arrived
from the east, charging him with
having stolen $1,000 from one of
the gypsy tents. The arrest devel-
oped a human interest story in
which the public is taking much in
terest.
Mark is alleged to have recaptur-
ed his daughter, fS years old. from
the local camp after she had dis
appeared three years ago. He was
lon the way to the train with her
when arrested. II developed that
he ~ ;sssss a.fter having Mark ar
rested, began breaking camp. and
the court officers, fearing that the
charge against Mark was ruse to
get him in jail and then spirit the
girl away. forestalled my such plan
by committing the girl with her
father.
After the arrest it developed that
the girl was wearing a very valu-
able necklace two feet long under
meath her clothing, in which the
beads" were 500 goldpieces. II is
claimed by the gypsies that this
was her dover under the law, and
that she was betrothed to marry
the son of the gypsy who caused
the arrest OF her father. Half
dozen civil suits are hing filed and
a few misdemeanor suits, all OF
which have grown out Of the row
over the girl, and the end is not
yet.
