Yessir! Even an Editor
Gets Gyped Sometimes

II sests -
Gypsies travel by automobile
ERowadays and instead of trading
horses they trade autos. The
women folks among them still tell
fortunes, though. and wish people
good luck and bless their moneys
y that for each dollar they possess
ay viii soon have that many
Etb0usa0ds.
VA band of these interesting no.
|1Rds came thru Idaho Springs
Thursday Of this week in four or
five autos. They expected to drive
over Berthoud Pass and make their
way to Salt Lake and the far west
Gasoline is not easily stolen aud
it takes real money to travel by
auto more perhaps than can be
made by telling fortunes-.so it
becomes necessary to acquire cash
Z by the sleight-of-hand method.
They got some Idaho Springs
money by that method--just how
much we do not know-but we do
know they got perfectly good
FIVE spot from the Siftings editor.
just how it was done we do not
yet know-it just disappeared.
Last September the gypsies
came thru here and 'sblest" $75
roll for Bob Wood and handed it
back to him. After they had gone
he counted his money and there
was $65 in the roll. John Burke
took after the wandering band on
his motorcycle and brought back
1.-THE $lO..
] sYhe. swd ycaesg y. men sr-k
comptexioneel, gold beshangled and
rather good looking, if you please,
came into the Siftings Office
Thursday morning we allowed
them to entertain us with their
wierd incantaticns. The damsel
who gave the editor her particular
attention first asked him to place
a penny in her hand to have it
"blest". Then the penny had to
! be placed with bank roll to have
it all "blest". The editors bank
roll consisted of only S25--a ten
and three fves-for editors don't
carry as much money as coal men.
He kept very close watch of the
money such close watch that the
damsel took offense at his being
afraid she would steal it. She
handed back the money and he
put it in his pocket. He then
gave her fifty cents for telling his
fortune and she went her way
Soon after she left he counted his
billsand a five was missing. Prac-
tice makes perfect. The charming
damsel of Romany had the trick
down to perfection. One pair of
eyes could not watch her closely
enough.
The entire band soon departed
for the west but being unable to
cross Berthoud Pass they return
ed thru town Thursday afternoon.
Fred Leach and the Siftings man
joined Marshal Harvey in merry
chase, the wanderers having but
few minutes start, and while Har-
vey drove at full speed Floyd Hill
was nearly reached before the
tourists were overtaken. George
Straub had the road blocked with
I his road scraper and the conges-
ton Of traffic consisted of four
gypsy autos loaded to the guards
with old men and women, young
men and women, many children,
camping equipment Of all sorts,
besides the marshal's auto, DR..
Fraser's car, for he made quick
run to see the fun, and the road
working outfit.
The gold bespangled damsel
who extracted the five-spot could
not be located in the party, and
the leader said there were two more
auto loads back to Empire but if
S5 had been taken he would pay
it-and he did.

BROAD PASS COAL COMPANY SECURES
 SECOND CONTRACT

The Broad Pass Coal & Develop ment company, which is engaged at present in making delivery of 5000 tons of coal to the Alaskan Engi- neering commission from its mine on Lignite creek, has secured an additional contract for 2,o00 tons to be delivered at North Nenana, for use on the Nenana-Fairbanks and Tanana Valley lines. The coal now being delivered is used at the com mission power plant, on main line and elsewhere along the line wherever needed.
 President R. w. Calderhead, who came to town several days ago to close the deal with the commission, says the company will make delivery lat North Nenana by means of auto trucks, arrangements already having been made with Gus Conradt, of Fairbanks, to bring two machines to Nenana for that purpose. The trucks will haul from new bunker to be built near the power plant, to the end of steel on the north side iof the Panama river.
 MT. Calderhead says that it will be no trouble for his company to fill the new contract, provided sufii- cient cars are available to bring the coal to town from the Lignite siding where the coal is loaded. He says the cars can be loaded at the rate of one an hour, and yesterday one was loaded in half an hour. It is
 no trouble to get the coal, and the coming of mild weather has greatly facilitated the haul from Lignite
 creek to the railroad, the teams now
 being able to haul seven tons at d
 load. It is a downhill pull and the trail is in excellent condition. 1 The coal will start moving across the Panama river as soon as the ltrucks can be placed in service (which probably will be during thu coming week.

FA|RBANKSANS ARE
 UNWILLING ID AC1

Considerable difficulty is said to have been experienced today by members of the office force of Unit ed States Marshal Erwin in secur- ing jury to hear the Ed Olson case, which was set for trial today at Fairbanks before Commissioner Reed Heilig. Partly due to a thin ming of the population of the upper town, but chiefly to the unwilling ness of Fairbanksans to try liquor case, the jury had not been com pleted up to noon today. and the town at that time had been gone over very thoroughly. The deputies were still on the job, however, and hopeful of filling the jurybox before night.
 Olson was arrested at the end of steel several days ago, while enroute to the coast, and taken to Fairbanks for trial. He is accused of manu- featuring liquor in violation of tho Alaska bone dry law.

INDECENT VACGED TO
 GET GOVERNMENT AID

Bozo Bucetich, a woodchopper of the Ester district, was placed under arrest at Fairbanks this week on a charge of vagrancy, and is now an inmate of the federal jail, where he is receiving treatment for frostbite.
 The unfortunate man froze both of his feet badly recently, and being without funds, was unable to secure needed medical or hospital aid. The indigent fund at the disposal of the district judge had been exhausted and the only way that the Govern ment could be made to take care of the man was to place him under arrest as vagrant, which was done, and sentence of 25 days in jail imposed.

 A large number of invitations have been issued by the club, and 1t goes without saying that the at tendance will represent the full in- vitation list.

in Winslow Thursday morning as

WARNING TO AUTO DRIVERS

Considerable complaint is being
made to me about two of the city or
dinances which are being violated:
First is a violation of the speed limit !;
we have city ordinance which pro-
hibits auto drivers from exceeding
fifteen miles per hour within the city
limits. Second and last, but not
least, we have a city ordinance that
prohibits the leaving of the mufflers
open on cars while driving within
the city limits. I know myself that
these ordinances are being violated
and I shall be compelled by virtue
Of my office, to in the future arrest
all offenders regardless of who il
may be.
