EDS. REcoRD-UNIoN Having had an ex-
perience of the supernatural order, 1 propose
to relate it. A few years ago there resided in
this city Dr.. -, man well known in this
community. In the winter of 1872 took his
boy to board. The child remained with me
family became well acquainted and very init
mate with the doctor. April, 1875, 1 went
to the Eastern States, taking with me my
son D. In the month OF November following
an older scr, named A, who was at
work in Sacramento, was killed in
gravel pit with another man, and very soon
after | returned. bringing my son O., then
aged II years. About December 1st came
down town with my boy o., and when near
rapidly NJ the sidewalk from towards Third
street. He came up TO us, shook hands with
u.s. and asked how l was and when ! had re-
turned. He shook hands with my boy and
spoke to him. He then placed his hand on
the boys head, and turning the lads face up
ward, looked into it and said, '' [ want to gee
how much you have grown" I then asked
him where his son w. was. and he replied.
0ut in the country, working on farm"
and added that he had grown very much. /
then said, suppose you know about AZ"
"Yes, it is too bad that be was killed SO, and
added, 81 was at the funeral" I said,
81 did not see you there" and he answered,
81 suppose not" He then asked where l
lived, and said he was il something of
hurry that morning, and that he would call
on me soon. as ne had many questions to ask
me concerning the States. Bidding US good
morning, he then passed on. Several people
passed US while we stood en- the sidewalk
talking. l neither saw nor heard anything
of him for several weeks, when, on asking
some one if anything was known of DR..
-. and adding that had seen and talked
with him as stated above, | was told that l
must be mistaken, for the doctor had died
at the County Hospital in September. On
inquiry found that to be the fact

Near our village lin IHinois) there was high
bluff, and on it number Of oak trees of great
age. In the town lived a man who was

all that. He asserted that he could see into

The CHESTS.
Three More Stories Of Strange Affairs. In
which The Supernatural Figures.

EDS. RECORD Union Accepting your offer
to publish incidents relating to supernatural
experiences, desire to recount a strange &C.
currence that happened here. One of our most
prominent lawyers was with others engaged
in the trial of a case in which the whole mat
ter at issue depended upon finding certain
papers, which, If produced would settle the
ownership in an estate of large amount of
personal property. Every effort had been
made to find the documents. Without them
the property would be lost to toe State ard
would go to those who unquestionably should
not possess If. The attorneys for the estate
felt the case TO be hopeless. They had ex-
haustsd themselves in the effort to fiud the
documents. The case came on for trial Ore
OF the witnesses friend, as was supposed,
to the estate, was called on some matter con.
nected with the trial. No one ever dreamed
that he might have the papsrs in fact, he
had been one of those who desired them to
be found. As the man passed TIE attorney 8
seat On the way to the witnessstand. his coat
lapel flew back and his inside breast pocket
was seen Filed out with papers, letters, etc..
some OF which showed above its edge. Suddenly
the attorney of whom write had it impressed
upon him by some agency he was unable to
define, that in that mans pocket the missing
documents would be found. He ssw them
there, read their Endorsement, and as plsinly
as he saw his own hand identified the papers
in the midst of the bundle in the man S
pocket. So certain was he OF it that after a
few preliminary questions he was moved to
step suddenly up to the witness, look him in
the eye and say: Sir. you have the papers
now in your pocket inside your coat, on the
left-hand side, in the middle of a bundle of
papers there-produce them" He is unable
to this day to account fer his own action and
words. he was impelled to do as he did de-
spite himself. The witness trembled, turned
pale, sat down and putting his hand into his
pocket drew out the papers so long searched
for, aud handing them over to the attorney,
left the stand without word. but manifestiDg
fear and deep emotion. LEGIs.
