Gipsies Camp Near Elgin Campground
A mixed group claiming English origins, described as lighter, cleaner than Romanian Gypsies, camped on Elgin common near the cemetery with vans, wagons, tents, and horse gear. They trade horses and run fortune telling amid charm sales, while authorities pursue a separate assault case in Wisconsin and a local shooting match draws crowds.
