the kitchen where Farmer Umberger
fell dead at his wife's feet two years age.
First come two men, one tall and one
short, both with their faces concealed.
In hot pursuit follows the gaunt form Of
old Farmer Umberger, with the pallor Of
death upon his face and blood flowing
from his breast.
pHASToMs PURSUED BY A PHANTOM.
ON press the two men in advance, and
closely follows the ghost of the old far
mer. On they glide--through dewy
grass wittW bending a blade, over soft
pIowste.nd without leaving a track,
melting through fences like mist Over
the fields and down the hollow flee pur-
sued and pursuer, until they are finally
lost in the wood where the murderers
rested before they attacked their victim.
The story Of the ghost deprecated the
value of the farm 1t contains 1855 acres
of the best land in Somerset county, with
large and substantial farm buildings.
The homestead is comfortable, but old +,
and not of great value. Finally the ad-
ministrators Of the estate found a man
named Schafer who was willing to buy
the farm, apparition and all, at reasona-
bic figure. He believed that it wa g
easier to lift ghost than mortgage. He
got the place for $1,000 cash.
When the farm was visited by the
writer Mrs. Schaefer was exercis-
ing evil spirits by hard work, and had
succeeded in putting polish on the
stove which was bound, By its bright
ness, to put to fight legion Of ghosts.
ONLY a MEMORY OF THE TRAGEDY RENA ms.
Few signs of the tragedy linger around
the house now. There are still couple
of bullet holes in the wall, showing that
the assassin twice missed his victim, but
the stains of blood have been effAcsd,
and the old bell, with its rope coming
through the ceiling into the kitchen, has
been removed. The work of blowing.
sowing and reaping goes on just the same
as ever through the varying seasons, for
nature never changes her habits
though a thousand men be killed.
The property will not long be known
as the Umberger farm, but will soon take
the name of its new owner, and the
ghost of Farmer Umberger viii be but a
shadowy memorys brought up OCCASION
ally by the mairons Of Jennertown to
keep their children indoors o'nights.
This fanciful tale is taken from the
Pittsburgh Dispatch which recently pub
lished The Narrative of Crime from
the defendants, point of view. "The
Haunted Farm" yarn contains few
threads Of truth.
