Flin,naed the People

1t is said burned child shuns the
fire. but if another show should come
to town, perhaps some who got film
med would go again.
The Christy show that was here
Saturday was no doubt as big gang
of skinners as ever lit in any town.
While small outfit. the general ad-
mission was one dollar. which did
not include seeing the animals-that
costing so cents. Children of three
years and over were paid for Mt so
cents each. Reserved seats cost 25
cents. Then on top OF those holdup
prices the people were short-changed
and flimmed in every conceivable
way.
Fellows with bags CT silver worked
In the crowd. asking to change silver
for bills. In so doing they always
short-changed their victim. Some COM
PEELED them to return the money,
while others stood the loss.
Though the attendance was good
in the afternoon. many refused to
nay dollar admission.
While show outfits are generally
crooked. 1t is unusual to find as small
an outfit as the Christy aggregation
skinning the public on such a large
scale.

A She Gypsy
The Sheriff Busy

We thought Sheriff Ed James was
a hard-hearted official, but have
changed our mind. Why we SO
thought we cannot say, unless It was
because SO many officers are that
way. But Sheriff James proved con
clusively yesterday that be has a
heart as big as an OK. .ASS
A truckload Of gypsies-al. man,
three women and three kids--arrived
in town yesterday morning, and, Of
course, trouble started at oncs One

Said she asked him for a dime Shd
he handed her a whack over the beaG
with a heavy shoe. She went to thS
hospital and had her head bandaged.
Then she went to the court house and
found the sheriff, to whom she told a
Fheartrending story that, would bring
tears to- the eyes Of a wooden Indian.
The sheriff's heart helsed. and he
went and got the man, ho put up
an alibi as strong as 2kmule team

office. The sheriff brought the man
up in his car. SO a crowd was IA front
of the office for over an hour. The
woman said the man had stolen a
thousand dollars from kSr, hut, ad-
mitted she had ripped open the truck
seat and taken out $780, Che had
gone to the First National banH hd
got a draft for s40O. "a
The sheriff proved himself, Aulk
diplomat, getting the whole SAns 6ui
Of town without trouble. He talked
to the woman like the proverbia|
Dutch uncle. Called her lady.pwheu
she looked about as much like one
as SOW. She implored himsto bring
her baby from the awful man, and he
went out and brought in the curly.
beaded dirty little critter.
All the time the sheriff was insfAt.
Ing that the woman 90 to the man
and that they get out Of town. Final
" she agreed to get on the train aud

two other women, supposed to be his
sisters, started west with the track
But the woman and kids did not walt
for the train. She hired Warren
Hatheway 70 take her to Julesiurg,
and said she would return to her
home in Seattle. Washington
The way gypsies are handled in
most places is they are given short
hourse to get out Of the county.

further:
Many Of the Powers at Genoa,recog-
nized that it was impossible for Russia
to restore private property. The British
on June IL declared that it was mad
missible to ask Russia as sovereign
State TO abolish one of the fundamental
republican laws on the naturalization
Of property.
"The Russian delegation frequently
told the Hague conference that it was
perfectly possible to arrange with for

interests of Russia and the owners such
ar arrangement having been made in
several cases of mutual satisfaction.
While refusing compulsory return OF

present new proposals these reports will

ment with the Russian providing for
some kind of restitution of conf1scated

that the Russians will never pay COM
