Make It Lively For the Greasy Gypsies Every Time.

A bunch of greasy, grimy, impudent and immoral gypsies passed through Rensselaer Saturday enroute for Chicago and they were moved right along by the officers. Just proper. At Williamsport Monday three gypsy women robbed an old man named John Fox of $22.50. Fox was 80 years of age. The gypsies were camped north of Williamsport. Fox was going along the road and one of the women confronted him and asked what time it was. As he reached for his watch the woman grabbed him and two others came to her assistance and his pockets were rifled and $22.50 stolen. They then gave the old man a shove and told him to keep his mouth shut, but he went to town, reported the occurrence and Marshal Joe Russell rounded up the band, secured Mr. Fox’s money and ordered the gypsies to leave the county.
