The dreaded, mysterious gypsies

numbering anvas-covered schooners
in a circle on the outskirts of the
town and camp. no one knowing
whence they came nor whitner they
were travelling, who had fanciful
stories connected with them that
made the small boy hide his head
deep under the covers at night,
whom we knew as lazy, begging,
thieving and the emblem of every
thing behind the times, have been
struck by the wand of the spirit Of
progress, and about 20 BraZilians,
travelling in three autos, are now
camped east of the county hospital
on the Ida road. The band is COM
posed of four families with five
children. Four men lead the band,
the rest of which is composed or
women of various shapes and ages
attired in the usual panoply of gold,
silver. brass. glass and all the other
paraphernalia dear to the gypsy
heart.
They arrived here yesterday from
the south, two weeks out of San
Francisco. They plan to stay here
about a week and then go by way
of Tonopah, Ely and Ogden to Phil
adelphia, their final destination,
which they figure on reaching in
two months. On their arrival in
Philadelphia, Tom Marino, M of
the band. plans to marry Lena
Adams, who is waiting for him in
the Quaker City. Tom did not have
a picture of Lena, but there is a
black-eyed, dusky-hued Lena right
in the camp and unattached whom
Tom has evidently overlooked.
The cars in which the party is
travelling are two eight-cylinder
Cadillacs and an Overland six, all
purchased in San Francisco.
