 SENDS TRAVELLING MENDi-
 GIANTS TO COUNTY FARM.

Ferndale had it's big sensation dur. band descended from the interior of Saline county upon the camp of Mary Willis and her coterie of transient mendicants resulting in a wholesale prosecution in the court of Justice Prothro, which sent five to the county jail and one to the county hospital
 Following trail from Saline coun- ty, three men and women, accom-. panied by two children, several dogs and goat, pushing carts before them in which were carried a non descript assortment of camp equipment and trading material. They camped in va cant houses and along the side of the road, selling baskets where baskets were wanted, and where no sale was made, begging to feed the children.
 Mary Willis, woman about 55 years of age, was apparently the leader of this rag tag army. With her was a young man who gave his name as Bill Bailey. George Willis, strip ling youth of 20 years, and Fife Willis, both children of Mary Willis, were paired with John Armstrong and Mat tie Andrews, who the others stated had joined them in their travels. The two children were claimed by Fife Willis.
 The aged husband of the Willis wo- man followed them from Benton, the goat being the distinctive feature which permitted him to stick to the trail. When he reached the camp in the Prothro neighborhood, he started trouble, not that he wanted his wife or children, but the meager camp
