GYPSIES' TERRIBLE REVENGE.
The neighbourhood of Kapolya, iv Hungary, has recently been infested with marauding bands of gipsies. As a preventive measure and as a warning to the others the gendarmes captured one of the gangs, and only released them after cuttiug short the hair of the principal members. This is considered by the gipsies to be the most awful humiliation, and the gang determined to have its revenge. One dark night they sneaked back to the village and poisoned the wells. Next day fifteen' persons died and a very great number were taken seriously ill. Several gipsies have been arrested, and a large quantity of strychnine was found ou their persons.
