San Francisco, Feb. 26.-Asserting
that pretty little 15-year-old Mariana
Nareno, a gypsy girl, was sold to him
for $4,000 by her father in Denver,
Mark Adams, also gypsy, stoutly
maintained to the police that he own
ed the girl when she was found in his
mothers home here by Detective Fred
Suttman, ending a search begun by
her father one and a half years ago.
Megill Nareno, father Of the girl
asserts that he merely loaned" her
to Adams in Denver in August
1914, for two months to do house
work.
| The girl in the strange drama told
| the police she did not wish to return
| to her father and that she intended
Ito marry Adams son, George, II
years of age, when both were old
enough.
How the girl was caught in life's
strange eddies when she was only IL
and whisked through amazing ex-
periences reads like the romance OF
| best seller or thrilling movie tale.
| Adams, she said, took her from
Denver to st. Louis and there en-
gagged her to marry his son. After
six months in St. Louis, she said
she was taken to Chicago. From
Chicago they went to st. Joseph
Mo, and from there to Denver. For
} six weeks they have been living in
San Francisco.
Il want to marry George" the
little gypsy girl told the police. He
is good to me. He gives me nice
presents and I don't want to go back
to my father"
The father told the police that he
had spent a fortune tracing his
daughter about the middle west and
west.
! Detective Suttman took up the
case when the circular Of private
detective agency reached head
quarters asking the police to find
the girl. Suttman found her at the
home of Adams father, Alec Adams,
so-called padre Of the tribe.
The girl was employed part of the
time in telling fortunes along with
other members Of the gypsy tribe.
She was taken to the Juvenile De-
tention Home to await a hearing of
the case before Superior Judge
Frank ]. Murasky. The police did
not arrest Adams. Nareno pleaded
in vain with the girl to go home.

CHARTERS TRAIN
Moline Concern Uses THIRTY. Two Cars
to Move Enormous Shipment of
Pleasure Machines to East.

The Velie Motor Vehicle company of
Moline yesterday sent out over the
Rock Island road what is said to be
the largest single shipment of pleasure
cars ever made from this section of
the country.
Following the policy adopted sew
eral months ago the Velie company
chartered an entire train to make the
shipment. There were 80 cars and
each car contained three automobiles.
Value of the machines was slightly
more than $4,000.
During the last few months the Velie
company has made a number of enor-
nous shipments by special train, but
in other cases the cars were motor
trucks, many Of which eventually
found their way into Europe In this
instance, however, the machines will
all be sold in this country. They are
consigned TO the ]. W. Bowman COM
pany of Boston, to be delivered at
Cambridge.

MIXER BANQUET IS
TREAT FOR YOUNG
One Hundred and Fifty Attend Func-
ton Of Boys Department at Rock
Island Y. VI. c. A. Last Night.
JUDGE LARSON is THE SPEAKER
Church Committees Busy Arranging
for Annual Father and Son
Meet to Be Held March 10.

The mixer" banquet held at the
Rock Island Y. NJ C. A last evening
for the members of the boys depart
ment proved to be big success. One
hundred and fifty were seated at the
tables and to say that they did JUS
tice TO the big eats" that were served
them is putting It mildly. A trio. COM
posed OF Lawrence Lundberg, Willis
Weld and Phil Bruner, supplied music
during the meal and the singing of
such songs as "Tipperary," Il Want a
Girl" and others were joined in by
all The banquet was real pep"
meeting in every sense of the word.
The program was composed of talks
by number Of the boys from the de-
partment and the main talk Of the
evening was given by Judge n. A. Lar
son. The subject of his talk was Eel
lowship Among Boys" His talk was
full of humor, but instructive as well.
Theodore Rydback sang two solos and
was soundly applauded. The boys
from the department who gave talks
were Robert Olmsted, Roy Johnson,
Frazier Vance and John Dice.
The father and son banquet that has
been held annually at the Y. M. C. A
is this year TO be promoted among the
different churches of the city. Fri
day evening, March 10, at $50 is the
date and time set for the banquet.
Several of the churches are in on the
plan and a large attendance is looked
for. In promoting the banquet in this
way 1t is expected that larger num-
Der of men and boys can be drawn to-
gether.
Committees Are Busy.
Many of the church committees are
now busy getting out tickets and Sc
curing their speakers. Some of the
churches have them already. 1t is
hoped by the committee in charge of
the different banquets that a large
number of men who have no boys of
their own will play the "goodfellow'
that evening and take some boy who
has no father or one that is not in
terested in him. March 10 should be
big day for the boys of the city and
it is hoped that the fathers in the
city will take this advantage of spend
ing pleasant and instructive even
ing in the company Of their sons.

the original pain was forgotten. Many

None Of his relatives has been to
see him, but they were Informed of his
condition through newspaper dispatch
es to Winona, Mimi, where they re-
side. 1t is expected that his brother
and possibly his mother will arrive
here soon.
The delusion under which he was
laboring when he attempted suicide in
the Cross Country saloon, that he had
killed a woman, is still discredited
with the receipt here Of advices from
Winona police that he had never COM
mitted murder in his home city.

PNEUMONIA THREATENS VICTIM
Has High Temperature During Night
and Inflammation is Setting in
Lung Where Bullet Lodges.

Chances for recovery from the self
inflicted gunshot wound in his breast
lessened over night and William E.
Baird today lies in St Anthony's hos
pital in a more precarious condition
than at any time since the shooting
occurred.
Last night high temperature de-
veloped. Inflammation is setting in
the left lung, where 3S-calibre bull
let is lodged. This condition of the
organ of respiration is diagnosed as
meaning that pneumonia is imminent.
1t was stated at the hospital today
that there is no immediate danger,
but that the ultimate outcome is doubt
full for recovery.
Baird has been delirious since he
arrived at the hospital. He has made
many strange statements, none Of
which is being seriously considered.
Immediately after being attended by a
physician yesterday he declared that
some one else and not himself did the
shooting.
Baird was known to many in Rock
Island only as "Pasty," deriving the
nickname from his employment as a
billposter. Police say that on Thurs
day night he had been running back
and forth on Second avenue and that
many calls were sent in to the station
in regard to his actions. He was
stopped in the midst of his wander
ings by the police and sent to his
room
