The Light Infantry.

To :he Citizens of indianapolis:
In view Of the recent action by US as an
organization we deem il due to you. to
whom We owe whatever OF support has been
given rs from outside our membership, that
we should inform you OF such action, state
the reasons therefor, and define our present
status.
The Indianapolis Light Infantry has bean
In the service of the State OF Indiana for
eight years past under law which afforded
Its members no protection for acts done IN
the discharge OF their sworn duty, and which
compelled them to give time and labor 10
such service. not only without adequate
compensation, but at an actual expense to
the organization and thereby to you.
AS part OF the Indiana Legion we joined
in askipg the last General Assembly to pro.
vide some remedy for this state OF things by
porting our request by petition OF Il 900
voters of The State. The General Assembly,
approaching the Justice of the desired ac-
ton, did pass the bill. With
" hat result you are well aware.
So far as our organization was concerned.
We were nst asking any fsvors but simply
that what We were Justly entitled 70, but de-
MED in the past should be guaranteed rs
in the future. Again denied our
rights. We feel that We are not justified
in asking you TO further contribute
10 our support as State militia, whose only
service SO far has been land in the future
bids fair to be- the protection OF life and
property in communities. the representa-
tives OF which camored most loudly against
makiDg Us secure in afording such protec-
ton, or compromising Us therefor.
We have, therefore, Withdrawn from the
militia service OF the State; but in order
that we may be in position to afford You
the security you are entitled to by reason oil
your past appreciation and support OF our Or
ganilation, upon the petition OF sndry citi-
zens we have been enrolled as Metropolitan
militia reserve, by the Honorable Board Of
Police Commissioners and assure you that
shouid occasion arise we will do our whole
duty promptly and faithfully.
Very respectfully,
THY OFFICERS ASD MINERS Or THE INDIAS-

Ghosts on the Mountain Tons.

'The Spectre Of the Broken" is we'll
known to all readers of travel. Visitors
te.that mountain, which is situated in
the Hartz, sometimes see their own
shadows cast in gigantic proportions on
the rolling mists which gather around
the summit from the deep valleys on
the western side.
The peasantry of old believed these
apparitions were of the witches and
spirits who made the mountain their
abode. But it is known now that they
are simply the shadows of persons OBJ
serving them thrown at a distance upon
. screen OF vapor on the side opposite
the sun at its rising.
Similar phenomena have recently
been discovered on a mountain in Ne
vada by an officer of the Coast Survey,
who describes his experience as follows:
Suddenly, as l stood looking over
the vast expanse beneath me, 1 saw my
self confronted by a monster figure of a
man standing in mid-air before me on
the top of a chiefly defined mountain.
peak, which had but the thin air of the
valley below for q resting-place."
The figure was onlya short distance
from me. Around it we're two circles of
rainbow light and color, the outer one
family defined as compared with the
inner one, which was bright and clear
and distinctly iridescent Around tho
head of the figure was a beautiful halo
OF light, and from the figure itself shot
rays OF colors normal to the body.
The sight started me more than I can
tell. l threw up my hands in astonish-
ment, and perhaps some little fear. and
at this moment the specter seemed to
move toward me.
In a few moments I got over my
fright, and then, after the figure had
faded away, I recognized the fact that
l had enjoyed one of the most wonder
full phenomena of nature.
Since then we have seer it once or
twice from JEFF Davis Peak, but It
Y created such an impression upon
me as it did that evening when I was
doing service as a heliotroper all alone
on top of Arc Dome.
