Gypsy Peddlers Move On

A couple of gypsy women struck
town Tuesday and began peddling
in the city without license. Each
had hand cart from which they sold
their wares.
Marshal James Meginley notified
them to comply with the law but on
their refusal to get permits from the
city clerk and pay for the privilege,
they were detained and sent out of
the city. They were vigorous in the
use of gypsy language, denouncing
the city, the mayor and the mar
shall.

INTERESTING NEWS
Of BELOING PEOPLE
MANY YEARS AGO
TAKEN FROM THE FILES OF
SEPTEMBER IL, 1879 LITER
AIRY SOCIETY

The following items of interest to
the people of Belding were taken from
our files of September IL, 1879:
VIM. Crysler, who broke Jail at Her.
sey about year ago, was on the horse
car Sunday afternoon, and was pick
ed up by Deputy Sheriff Ranney early
in the evening. Mr.. Ranney then tele-
graphed to the sheriff of Osceola eoun-
ty, who had offered $25 reward for the
capture and return of the escaped
prisoner, who appeared in Belding
Monday morning and took charge of
the prisoner and left for Hersey on the
freight train with the prisoner hand
cuffed to his left wrist. Said Crysler
was wanted in the circuit court of Os-
ceola county to answer to a charge of
adultery. He had been examined and
was held for trial, and had been in Jail
only about ten days when he and a
comrade made wooden key and va
moosed. Mr.. Ranney received the re-
ward, minus the expense Of returning
the prisoner to Hersey. To those
tramps and escaped prisoners who
carry the impression that justice is
blind-folded goddess we will say that
she has one eye open and they had bet
ter watch out when they come in the
vicinity of Belding.
Frank Lamb has removed his family
to Howard where he is engaged as
clerk in the store of Broas e. Collins.
