that he acted as a collector OF protec-
ton money for one Of the Harlem in

failed TO do so he was indicted. on the
strength of testimony given by Jew
Morris and Jack" Dunn, also Harlem
gamblers.
1t was reported yesterday that Whit
man had received overtures from

Hampton, July 3.-Peter Peterson, a

with gypsy fortune tellers last night

$S5 In cash, and did cost him several
unpleasant hours and sleepless night
Last evening a band Of nomads, with
an equipment Of four wagons, horses
and dogs, appeared at the Peterson
home, begging and telling fortunes
Peterson gave them some money and
horse feed, and in return one Of the
woman offered to tell his fortune. The
farmer was willing to be amused. but
coin and currency We're needed to make
possible a successful glimpse into the
future. A nickel was the first medium
then a larger coin, and finally the
woman asked for roll of bills. Peter
son complied. thinking his eyesight was
good and that the money could not get
away. The fortune" was completed
the roll of money returned. and the
caravan departed. After they had gone
Peterson's son suggested that he count
his money, and then 1t was discovered
that ss5 Of the roll Of S1s6 was missing
The sheriff was summoned. and Peter
son trailed the gipsies until the officer
arrived and placed the woman under
arrest.
The others followed to this city, and
today a hearing was had In court. The
Ripsies. becoming frightened. returned
the stolen cash. paid all the costs and
promised to leave town. The fortune
teller has a 6-weeks-old babe. and the
authorities did not care to press the
criminal charge against her. The band

Cedar Rapids. July 3.-When Patrick
McFadden wooed and won Jaunita Red
Cloud down on q southwest love trail
two or three decades ago and married
her without benefit OF clergy he might
have known that trouble would be sure

ever since and last night II culmina.-
ed, in an outburst of grief for Cora
when her Mexican husband was shot
to death near his bunk car In the Rock

with q mixed gang of Mexicans ard
Greeks. HIS murderer may have been
another odexioan whom Cora Tilted
when she married Morales little more
than q year ago at Kansas City. Or
It may have been any one Of . half q

seem to have been making more or loss
