A Haunted House.

Qnite recently circumstances have come 10
our knowledge tha, render it pretty certain
that here in Walls Wslla we have haunted
house. The dwelling that is the scene of
.hese mysteries is unprstentious edihca,
and is in the immediate neighborhood Of the
court house. The building was placed in its
present location about ten years since. and
for several years was occupied by the
owner and his fanily. Finally the wife
sickeued and died, and almost Immediately
afrerward the bereaved husband took trip
to the Atlantic States. The building was
left IL charge OF an agent, aud wss rented TO
a we'll known saloon keeper, whose wife (nUw
dead) told wonderful stories Of the strange
visitstions to which the house was subject.
These visitation, so worked on the poor wo-
mSn's mind that she insisted on being re-
moved, and This too al time when she was
Oh the threshold Of death. She declared that
move she must aud move she did. Another
person, lune female, rented the house, aud
she too after briet occupancy complained OF
nocturnal yIsIrayiOBs that rendered lie His
erable, aud abantoued place that sermed To
be accursed. D her tenants followed, but
uniformly beat hasty rrireat. To come
down 10 date, for the last six months the
house has been occupied by very respeC-
table family, consisting OF husband, wife
aud daughter. At first noIhiug peculiar Was
riOd the GHOSTS made themselves manifest.
Mysterious knockings were heard on Inside
dUors at the dead hour Of the night, nnd
the family were reused out of bed thinking
iba, some one was calling for assistance, only
to fiud that the mysterious visitor had VAN
Ished into thIn air. footsteps were heard On
the roof, aud at times it seemed that pande-
mouIum was let louse. Thus IhIngs went Gu
until quite lately when married daughior
and her husband came home 10 spend few
DAYS. This visit seems to have been the oc-
casiou for renewed demonstrations on the
part OF the spirit. The sUn-in-law WAS The
special object Of attention, and nightly
shadowy form wlta mutti ID throat aid face
came to his bedside, and looked HIN fairly
aud squsrely IN the face. This at timv
waeu he was vide awake aud fully courciOus
OF all that Was transporting. On rising from
the bed the shsdowy visitor would slowly
disappear, but whence It came or whIiher IL
| fled be was unable to determine. These Wis
its were So cpurtaut that they worked upon
the mind of the young man, who is consid'
cred unusually brave, that he wus unwilling
u remain alone IN the room, and at night he
kept the light constantly burning. Even
with this precauiion be was IN constant
dread, and finally fed from the house. de-
claring it ueeur7ed. After he left the strange
aud mysterious knockiLgs were nightly con
,inued but the mufficd visitor failed TO up
pear. Finally the anuoyancs became uu-
bearable ami the family removed, the wife
| declaring that she would noi live IN The
hunse IL II WAS given her us q present. The
| premises are now vacaut, aud It Is doubtful
| uheIher any persUus will be found brave
enough to make their home IN the " haunted
house

borrowed d lighted pipe from fellow prison.

to the Jail building. The other prisoners

gained considerable headway, aud from the
nature of the building wns bard TO extin-
guish. The firemen were early on the ground.
and by great e1ertions managed TO save the
building. Had the fire occurred at later
hour in the night, all the prisoners most likely
would have persisted. After the fire was
OYER, Foster Was perfectly cool, and on being
questioned, confessed to the firing, s;sfin,
that he was "t tired of confinement and
wished To get out. " The Sheriff AID his
