There is a large gypsy camp a short distance below Belpre. It is a genuine lot of gypsies and they are evidently well off for gypsies. They have several wagons, a number of splendid horses and a good camping outfit. They work the fortune telling racket and rake to the coin from the gullible people. Several of the women belonging to the camp have been working Parkersburg. They were taken before Judge Drennen on complaint that they were peddling. But they gave evidence that they were telling fortunes only and in proof they offered to read the future for his Honor. He declined their proposition and let them go.
