 TO CURE SORE EAR

He went to the bank and drew out the $500 for the gypsy woman and Sj0 for himself and reported back at : o'clock prompt.
 He was relieved of his money and he was so delighted and excited to think that his troubss were going to be over that he never thought to take out the sou he withdrew for himself, "Thcy gypcd me out of the $50" he told Capt, George Kelly in making his report. After paying the money, he was told 10 return this morning at o'clock and everything would be ready to work the cure, but when he arrived at the store this morning, he found that the healers had disappeared.
 The police are making every effort to find where the band has gone. The woman who took tue money from Bozuk lived with Mary Marks who was ia police court yesterday morning and who was given q suspended sem tence of 80 days om condition that she and her band leave the city by noon today
