Grew q Beard After Death.

About thirteen years ago Hal Clayton,
one of the best known gamblers on the
coast, died here of fever He was rich,
metallic caskct with glass case and
consigned to handsome tomb. His
wife, who was frantic with grief, placed
her diamonds on his shirt front. The
stones were valued at $500. Fearful lest
the gems would be taken from the vault
she placed watch at the tomb, and it
was maintained for many weeks. Clay
ton was a Southerner, and the body was
disposed of above ground.
A few days ago George Dobbs, who
has the care of the cemetery, was pos
scssed with curiosity to visit Hal Clay
tons tomb, and securing the keys of the
vault took look at the remains. llew
astonished to find that Clayton's beard
and mustache had grown under the glass
case to such an extent that they reached
below his knees. The beard was a rich
brown color, extending in wavy masses
over the body and having perfectly
healthy appearance, as it might have had
on living man The beard had been
growing in this way fer thirteen years.
CLAYTON had romantic life. He was
engaged to handsome young girl IN the
South and left her to seek his fortune
She became tired of his absence, and,
setting out to find him, drifted homeless
and friendiess from one mining camp to
another After years of this life she met
her former lover, but was 50 changed by
her wandering life that he refused to
marry her. After his reputation Of his
old sweetheart he became sick, and
when lying at deaths door she came 10
his bedside and nurScd him back to
health Filled with gratitude at her de
votion, he renewed the affection Of his
youth and married her. She proved a
devoted wife, and when he died she built
at large expense the vault where his re,
mains now lie, and in which his beard
has. been growing all these years.
Whether the diamonds are on his shirt
front is not known. as the beard hides tho
body from the knees up. fdrSoa (Ner.,
