Treasures a String of Pearls
Given to Her Here: Was
Stolen Nine Years Ago

Who in Honolulu remembers hav-
ing given a string OF pearls to a II
year-old girl in gypsy costume when
the big gypsy encampment was in
Honolulu about two years ago?
What school children remember
having been bribed with ten-cent
pieces by the little fortune teller 10
teach her how to read and write?
Evelyn Mitchell, a pretty l6-year-old
girl who has recently been restored
to her father in Montana, mentions
those incidents in reciting the story
/ o. her nine years of captivity by the
gypsies, according to the coast news
/ papers. =: .:..:s
+ When EVELYN threw herself into the
arms of her father, ranchman resid-
ing near Montana town. it was the
I first time either had set eyes upon
/ the other since the day of the moth
er's funeral in Helena nearly ten years
ago.
4 School Teacher Helped.
NJ L. Hickman, secretary of the
State Bureau of Child and Animal
/ Protection. escorted the girl to the
ranch from Glacier Park, where he
left her in charge of Miss Georgina
Allen. Havre school teacher, who
agreed to chaperon the girl to Mon
tana from house of detention in Oak
land, Cal. s":. .~
H. A. Davee, state superintendent
of public instruction, who was attend.
! iEg the National Teachers Associa-
ton, was besoI.ght by the Oakland an
thorities to provide escort for the girl
back to Montana. The city paid her
expenses. Supt. Davee learned that
Miss Allen. teacher, was shortly to
come home, and the latter went to
the house of detention, where the girl
had been kept two months to guard
her against kidnapping by the gypsy
band from which she was taken.
There arrangements were made for
bringing her home, and the teacher
and the girl departed secretly from
San Francisco, embarking on a
steamer for Astoria, from which point
they went by train to Glacier Park.
Girl Was in Terror.
The necessity for keeping their
whereabouts secret was urged by the
girl, who was in terror of being seiz-
ed by the band She declared that
she was likely to be taken from a
train by members stationed along the
road and on watch, hence the trip by
steamer was devised.
The history of the young woman
reads like a romance. For several
years she has been trying to escape
from the gypsies, but, alone and
friendless, she was given no opportu.
nifty until about three months ago,
when the Oakland officials secured
possession of her after a desperate
fight in the courts. The Marine band,
to which she was sold for $4,000 in
1912. is rich, and money was spent
lavishly to defeat justice.
About 10 years ago, following the
funeral of the mother, the girl and a
sister were placed in the st. Joseph's
| Orphans home. There they remained
for perhaps six months, when Evelyn
was taken to Butte and in Judge DON
lan's court, upon the representations
of an attorney, adoption papers were
made out for Mary" Mitchell, plac-
ing her in charge of couple named
Gichi. 1t developed later that the
Gichis were members of a gypsy band.
Made Her a 5esgar.

History tells US that at first golf balls
were nothing but round or nearly
round pebbles about the size Of the
sphere used at present. These were
supplanted by the hand cut wooden
balls and then in turn by the feather
ball. Then came the gutta percha ball.
OF which an interesting story is told.
Il b said caddie in Scotland picked
up q discarded football shoe with a
gutta percha sole and tore OF the sole.
This he soaked In water until 1t was
soft and then nodded It with his hands
to tho size Of golf ball. Thence 1t
was only step to the nodded and
hammered gutta percha balls. which
endured until as late AZ 1893. when the
rubber cored ball was first brought out
In the United States.
The rubber cored ball, the foundation
Of the ball Of the present, was not TAX

years later. and It II interesting to note

Charge
Of Assault With Intent To Kill
Placed Against VIII
liam Kuhn

William Kuhn was arrested at his
home in South Vernon Tuesday after
noon about o'clock by Sheriff Wool
ison and Deputy Sheriff Mossholder
on warrant sworn out by Florence
CHM, charging Kuhn with assault
with intent to kill. The affidavit was
made in the court of Squire Walter
G. Harris. Kuhn and the CHM wo-
man had been living together, so it is
said, and on Tuesday afternoon he
demanded that the woman go to town
and beg some food. When she re-
fused he attacked her, it is alleged,
and gave her terrible beating. She
came to the city Immediately and
swore out a warrant for Kuhn's ar
rest. When the officers went to the
house Kuhn had locked the door and
refused to open it. The sheriff and
his deputy were compelled to break
down the door in order to make the
arrest. Kuhn was placed in the coun-
ty Jail to await a hearing before the
justice of the peace.
Kuhn pleaded guilty to assault be-
fore Squire Harris Thursday after
noon and was fined $40 and costs. He
was unable to settle and was sent
back to the county jail.
