OF NEW HAMPSHIRE ( TAKES THE OATH OF OFFICE.: By Associated Press. Concord, N. H., .Ian. 5.- Full History of The Troubles Shared by Members oj The Two Clans Since Going 1o Anson County—Much Inter- est tn Coming Trials. Special to Tiie News. Wadesboro, N. C., Jan. 5.—This morning Emil Mitchell, the “King” of the tribes in the United States, asked for warrants against Chief Stephen Joan, and five of his leaders and charged them with assault with deadly weapons. The men were arres'ted and bond set at $200 each and a prelimi nary will be held next Thursday. This is another chapter in the battle be tween the rival clans encamped here. Ten Gypsies Released. The ten Gypsies in jail here charged with assault were released on bond yesterday. In each case bond was given for $200 and the bondsmen are R. T. Bennett, Jr., and T. F. Jones. The bonds w-ere made several days ago, but Sheriff Low'ery refused to release the men until the costs in the habeas corpus proceedings were paid. These costs had been taxed against Mitch ell’s adherents by Judge W. J. Adams, and two of the men. Emil Mitchell and one other were released before the slieriff thought of his liability for the costs, 'i'he amount paid by Wasson Mitchelle yesterday for the ten men was $100.70 and they paid it to the sheriff under protest. The recent troubles between two rival clans of Gyjisies cainpcd near Wadesboro has awakened considerable interest. The troubles have not been settled and will be aired in the com ing -term of the wuporior court W'hich will convene .latiuary Itlth for the trial of criminal cases. Both of the clans 'nave employed attorneys and the trial of the cases i)romise to be of more than ordinary interest. The Gy])sies first came to this coun ty two jnonlhs ago. when a band of HO member.s went into camp near town and their coming did not attract very much attention. The men were horse- traders and the women went about felling fortunes. Other little bands came and srtill more, until possibly a hundred were in the camp. These bands all claim to be the followers of one Emil Mitchelle, who they say was elected as the “King” of all the Gypsy tribes in tiie United States. In support of their position in reference to Milchelle they show a document drawn up in Washington, D. C., in July, 1910, and signed by five chiefs 01 tlie five Gypsy tribes in the United Slates appointing Emil Mitchelle, of New'.Orleans-. as “King” in the place of Ziatcho Dimito, who, it is claimed, had left the country. This document bears ihe signatures of the five chiefs and ' is sv.-ora to before a notary public, and in adflition bears the certificate of tho I’nited States secretary of state, Hon. P. ('. Knox, and has the seal of the United States. Three weeks ago another band, led by Stephen .loan with liis sons-. Greg ory Joan and Paula Joan as deputies came into the county and went into camp with the other bands. About this time complaint w^as made to tho sheriff of the county and he went to th-e camp and demanded and collected the state tax—amounting to $150. With in a few’ days members of the Mitch elle band informed the sheriff that the Stephen Joan band had no connection with them and weie not entitled to trade and tell fortunes under their license, and the sheriff acting on this information immediatel.v “got busy with Ihe other crow’d.

Robt.l vised him of the presence in Anson county of Stephen Joan. An answering message from Mitchell§ advised hi> local chiefs to “hold Stephen Joan un til I arrive.” These telegrams were read by’ a reputable citizen of Lilesville and he will so testify. Mitchelle on the other hand denies sending the tele gram. The conditions became so un pleasant at tlie cam.p, however, that Stephen Joan went to the authorities and plead that they would give him a force sufficient to enable him to get av\’ay and stated that the other clans were practically holding him, with hi.^ band, as prisoners. Joan came here to Wadesboro and consulted attorneys and told them that Mitchelle was coming and that he would have the authority of the United States government to collect a tax ot $50 on esich member of his clan. Joan asked the attornies if Mitchelle could collect the tax and asserted that he (Joan) did not acknowledge Mitchelle as the “King” of the tribes. He was told that iMtcchelle had no authority P.
