Gouverneur Man Battles*\ Band of Gypsy Bandits GOUVERNEUR. May 28.—Held I way to Dekalb Junction, up by a band of gypsies on the Kidnaped Boy DeKalb Junction—Old DeKalb road yesterday forenoon, Everett Latham of this Tillage escaped af- ter knocking down three of the men, and after being chased part way to DeKalb Junction by other cars in v the gypsy band, he reports. Latham said he was driving to- wards Old DeKalb from DeKalb Junction at about 10:15 a. m. yes- terday, when he found the road ahead of him blocked by two cars witfoh were stationed at angles across the road near a wooded sec- tion. Three other cars, parked far- ther along the road, contained gypsy women and children, La- tham said. Sensing a hold-up. Latham at- tempted to turn his car around quickly, but as he did so three men from the cars ahead ran to- wards him and one of the men jumped on his running board. See- - ing that he could not get turned around quickly enough to make a get-away, Latham shut off his motor, took the\ ignition key from the switch, pocketed it and stepped out of the car. Without waiting for the gypsies to close in on him, Latham, who is of medium size, but wiry and quick, declared he drove his fist into the eye of one' gypsy, knock- In DeKalb Junction Latham met two state troopers who said they were on their way to the south- ern part tyf the state. *He told them of the attempted holdup and they said they would go. back to the gypsies and chase, them out of the country. No official complaint was made by Latham to the authorities and he did .not know who the troopers were or to what patrol they were attached. He said that he was too glad to escape alive to stop to enter an official com- plaint against the gyp6ies. State troopers here had received no report on the -case last night. Latham received * three long scratches on the left side of his face in the encounter. He said that he had \quite a good-sized '.sum of money*' on his person at the time, and believed the gypsies had him spotted. I i Last Vet Attended Memorial Memoria!
