SAYS HIS ENTIRE FAMILY
ELOPED WITH GYPSIES
SPOKANE, Wash., May 21. Mrs.
W. W. Davis, 35, and her four step
children, one a daughter, aged 19,
and three boys, fourteen, five years
and an Infant two months old, re
spectively, aro declared by the hus
band and father to havo eloped May
10 from their home at Moscow, Idaho,
with a band of gypsies. Davis, who
Is a mute, returned from town on that
day and found his home deserted and
abandoned and a band of gypsies who
had been camped nearby for several
months had broken camp and all had
disappeared.
According to a story whitten by
Davis today ho alleged his wife had
been keeping appointments with an
elderly man in the gypsy camp for
nearly two months and he says his
neighbors told him that his daugh
ter had become engaged to marry tho
gypsy's young son.
Davis has been searching for bis
family since the day of their disap
pearance without success. They are
"believed to have gone Into Oregon,
as Mrs. Davis has relatives In Dllly,
Oregon. Davis is offering a large
regard for the arrest of his wife in
order to recover his children.
facts regarding the stork's junket to
San Francisco.
Baldwin says that tho largest fam
ily iu San Francisco consists of 11
children, whose parents nre residents
of the Latin district. Ho finds thnt
foreigners have the largest families
and that married people with but one
child are most common here. The
number of eight-children families
can be counted on the fingers of
one's hands, declares Baldwin.
Bachelors are surprisingly numer
ous. Baldwin accounts for this by
the statement thnt hundreds of
young men flocked here for employ
ment after tho fire.
