The Cent . re I A Centre County. BELLEFONTE, PA, THURSDAY RE ween oir a Over 5500—Largest in C'<* cR STUNT OF ~~ DUSKY GYPSY MAID TOLD FORTUNE OF TRAVELING MAN AT MILL HALL. RELIEVED HIS ROLL OF $31 Circumstances In Without Doubt Dramatic the Same In last week's issue The Centre Democrat told of a band of gypsies who had victimized a number of per- sons at East Freedom, Blair county, and also stated that a gang of nomads had struck Bellefonte, who without any doubt were the same band of swindlers who had been forced to leave East Freedom. Beyond an ab- normal boldness the wanderers left Bellefonte with little or nothing to their discredit. Our Axemann cor- respondent, however, relates this week of how several of the male gypsies at- tempted to force a horse trade upon a citizen of that place, at a lonely spot along the highway, and would have succeeded only for the timely arrival of another citizen In a buggy. They were one of the boldest gangs that has drifted this way in many a day, and the great wonder prevails generally why they have escaped so far from the servere penalties of the law, H Their latest oscapade occurred at Mill Hall and is told In the following clever story takén from the T.ock Ha- ven Express of Monday, the 28th: “This is the true romance of a man with a roll of greenbacks, a Gypsy maid, a jolly crowd in a hotel, and the telling of a fortune as the setting for the first act; of the same roll (somewhat depleted), a squire's office, the jolly good fellows convert- ed Into embarassed witnesses and ‘Dad’ Myers with the Gypsy caravan coralled, as the striking and realisti features of Part IL PART L Synopsis of Chapter 1.
