ATLANTA SLEEPS OUT OF
DOORS AND ESCAPES GRIPPE
The Advantages of Fresh Air in
Sleeping Quarters.

-Atlanta's escape from
the grippe epidemic that has swept
the country is attributed by health
authorities here to a considerable ex-
tent to the fact that the Atlanta pop
ulation quite generally has learned
the advantage of sleeping out OF
doors both summer and winter.
A few years ago the sleeping porch
was either a luxury of the rich or a
necessity for the person who already
had a tendency to tuberculosis. Ply
sicians look forward to the time when
nine-tenths of all classes of people in
Georgia will learn the advantages of
fresh air and sleep out doors all the
year round.

SLAVE OF A GYPSY
BAND nine YEARS
SIXTEEN YEAR OLD EVELYN
MITCHELL RESTORED To HEIR
FATHER IN MONTANA.
LED A MOST MISERABLE LIFE

Escaped From AbductOrS ana w a.
Picked Up by Authorities on Com
plant OF Gypsies. Told Her Story
to Court Authorities.
HELENA, Mont.-When Evelyn
Mitchell. a 16-year-old girl who fol
nine years has been the slave of gyp-
sy bands in this country and the Old
World, threw herself into the arms
of her father, a ranchman residing
near a Montana town, it was the first
time either had set eyes upon the
other since the day of the mothers
funeral in Helena nearly ten years
ago.
M. l.. Hickman secretary of the
state bureau of child and animal pro-
lection, escorted the girl to the ranch
from Glacier Park, where he met her
in charge of Miss Georgiana Allen,
Havre school teacher who agreed to
chaperon the girl to Montana from
house of detention in Oakland, Cal.
H. A. Davee, state uperintendent
Of public instruction, who was attend
ing the National Teachers Associa-
ton, was besought by the Oakland
authorities to provide escort for the
girl back to Montana. The city paid
her expenses superintendent Davee
learned that Miss Allen, teacher,
was shortly to come home, a and the
latter went to the house of detention,
where the girl has been kept two
months to guard her against kidnap-
ming by the gypsy band from which
she was taken. There arrangements
were made for bringing her home,
and the teacher and the girl depart
ed secretly on a steamer for Astoria,
from which point they went by train
to Glacier Park.
In Terror of Band.
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

Was Severely Beaten.

During her stay with the Marine
band Evelyn was beaten severely, and
to her pleading for freedom she was
told that as soon as she earned the
$4,000 which they claimed they had
paid for her she would be allowed to
have an automobile and to go where
she pleased,
During the trial of the case, which
was bitterly fought, the gypsies
claimed that Evelyn was not of sound
mind. Mental experts came from the
University of California and made
tests, showing that she graded 100
per cent in intelligence and sanity.
This disposed of the subterfuge of the
gypsies.
Mrs. Hickman says the girl return
ed to the band the jewelry which she
wore at the time of her escape, eX-
cept a string of pearls giyn to her in
Honolulu by a member of the Amer
lean colony. She was dressed in
American clothing for the first time
in years, discarding the picturesque
costume she wore as a. gypsy. The
girl is able to read and write, and
SAYS she learned by bribing school
girls for ten cents each to teach her.
She was compelled to do this slyly,
as she made her way about the cities
as a beggar and fortune teller. The
gypsies were opposed to her obtaining
education of the most meager sort.

from the gypsies, but, alone and
friendless, she was given no oppor-
tunity until about three months ago
when the Oakland officials secured
possession of her after a desperat1
fight in the courts. The Marino band,
to which she was sold for $4,000 in
1912, is rich, and money was spent
lavishly to defeat justice.
About ten years ago following the
funeral of the mother, the girl and a
sister were placed in the st. Joseph
Orphanage Home. There they re-
manned for perhaps six months, when
EVELYN was taken to Butte and in
Judge DOMAINS court, upon the rep
reservations of an attorney adoption
papers were made out for Mary
Mitchell, placing her in charge of a
couple named Gichi. 1t developed
later that the Gichis were members
of a gypsy band.
Evelyn was an attractive little girl,
and she was soon dressed up in rags
and started out as a beggar. Her
pretty face and sad eyes affected the
charitably inclined, and her cOllec-
tions were not the least of the loot
of the band.
AS the girl grew older she lOnged
for a return to American life, as she
called it. Living in wagons or tents
along the highways, half-starved and
beaten by the Gichi couple whenever
she did not bring home as much
money as they considered adequate,
her existence was unhappy. Through
the eastern states and down South !
the band wandered, and in the win
ter of 1912 at Los Angeles Evelyn en-
listed the sympathy of an American /
woman and the authorities We're mott /
fed.
Fearing that they might get into
serious trouble if caught the Gichis
sold the girl for 50, 900 to a rich lead
er of gypsies named Marine. In or
der to hold her Marine had his son,
boy of ten, marry her under the gypsy |
law. This marriage, of course, was
not binding although Evelyn believed |
it to be.
Then the Marines embarked on a |
long pilgrimage. They coached Eve
Ign as a fortune teller and went first
to New York city. From there they |
went to France, then to the Isthmus |
Of Panama, then to Honolulu and the |
Islands, eventually coming |
back to the United States, About
three months ago the girl escaped !
and picked up by the Oakland author
tiles on complaint of the Marino gyp-
sizes, and thus she was given an OPP
portunity to tell her story in court.
AS a result she was consigned to the
care of Matron Rich of the Oakland
Detention Home.
