RAID GYPSY CAMP
 BUT FAIL TO FIND
 ALLEGED OFFENDER

Wuxtrie! Wuxtrie! Two kings and as many queens arrested and thrown into jaill Prince escapes through barbed wire fencei Princess eludes sheriff by crawling under automobile!
 Royalty took a tumble last night when three posses of deputy sheriffs raided a gypsy camp at Twenty second street and Buckeye road, The raid re- suited from a complaint that a gypsy had robbed a boy of $20. It was found that the first car to arrive at the sherifrs office carried the royal high nesses of two tribes. The queens and entourage followed.
 At the sheriffs office their royal highnesses the princess and masculine followers were given quarters in the cell room while the queens and their maids in attendance were entertained in the main office. She who appeared to be the high queen of the outfit pulled out black pipe, extracted a package of chewing tobacco from some hidden recess among the ample folds Of a balloon like skirt. rolled good sized cud into powder, filled the bowl. bor- rowed a match from the sheriff and proceeded to settle herself down to all the enjoyment which the occasion offered.
 Not so bad a place" she remarked and after taking several self satis- fying puffs bethought to offer Sheriff Montgomery chew from the well filled sack. This temptation from a queen was turned down by the rep resentative of law and order, who maintained that the dignity of his of flee did not permit the swapping of such peace tokens.
 Following the example of their queen the ladies of the entourage produced cigarettes and soon the circle of women was yelled in heavy cloud of gray smoke.
 Got eleven children to look after, finally grunted the queen.
 She was assured by the sohcituous sheriff that the younger generation of all the tribes was being looked after and cared for. Mother instinct satis- fled, the queen then suggested 1t was time to eat, and Jai1er Isaac was dele gated to escort her highness to 9 near by restaurant.
 'T am touring-seeing lemons. or anges and grape fruit = wonderful
 country" the queen remarked when
 urged to explain the reason for her presence in Phoenix. This trouble | maUIeT-l huON IOI1llB .Ol It. @NSNNA before have had trouble-always 1 happy"
 Some of the wandering gentry seemed unwilling to accept the invi- tation extended by the men from the
 sheriffs office and many fast races
 were staged across the fields of cotton and in and about the little tent city. Deputy Sheriff Al Dewitt had an es- pecfally thrilling chase after a demure T gypsy maid who refused to be coerced into the auto which waited to take her to the county bastile. She darteo around a tent with Deputy Dewitt 9 close second At the quarter stretch she veered from the track, into the fence and through the barbed wire en- I tanglements. The deputy sheriff man. aged 70 overcome the handicap and
 gain a little on the stTaightaway be- yond the fence. But the gypsy woman | squeezed herself under a nearby motor car and when Dewitt followed she | was quicker at the get-a-way and managed to entirely elude her pursuer After investigating all the gypsies
 brought into the office and failure to
 identify any particular one as the al-
 legged purloiner of the SEQ compro- misc was affected whereby the sum of
 money was made up by members oi
