Sheriff Adams Surely Is Poison for Gypsies>
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES S. H Adams has GER
ainly been making it tough the gypsy bands that
have been making their annual summer visits to
this section of the state In recent issues The Blade
has told about money stolen by gypsy men and wom-

Sheriff Adams and his deputies had rounded up the
dark-sknned damsels and their consorts.

gypsy thieves by the Todd county sheriff and his de-
puties. On July last C. E. Roden of Grey Eagle
had $65 taken from his purse by gypsy and in
June Lou Fearing and John Wagner both of Clotho,
had been similarly robbed. Last Thursday Sheriff
Adams and his deputies picked up bunch of gypsies
and Messrs Roden, Fearing and Wagner instantly
identified members of the band as the gypsies who
had taken their money.
The sheriff held the queen" of the band in Jail until
others of the wandering tribe went out and obtained
the money for her release which only after
iffIfin had
three men who appeared against the gypsies.
The Blade is informed that Sheriff Adams has a
100 per cent record in rounding gypsies this sum-

band and caused return of every cent taken. It is
record Of which the sheriff may well be proud, and
causing the gypsies to make restitution is perhaps
wiser course than prosecuting them. In the latter
event, no money would be returned by the gypses and
the county wuld be SPARED with the expense Of pros

plenty of theories offered to the origin of the
strange find. Some let their imagination bark back
to ancient Egypt and some recalled that few days
before motorized carnival company had travelled
that way, and 1t suggested that the casket
