A Herlin paper tells a strange story.
The children of school in Friedcn-
strasse have lately been SO excited
by ghost-stories that even during
school hours they imagined they saw
tierev men. death heads, and the like.
Al Q clock a few mornings ago work
was beginning. when suddenly a girl
in the second g.',s' class held in one
of the upper stories, who was sitting
al an open window, began &c scream.
crying out, Help. help. the dead
man is strangling me- Without
listening to her teacher. the frightened
girl. who was Il years old, rushed
out OF the room. followed by her COM
pauions. screaming Presently boys
and girls BY hundreds stumbled and
fell down stairs. Most fortunately no
one was seriously hurt, but some OF
them had to be carried home in 3
faint!n- state. Inc policeman OF tie
district deposed that the girl at the
window must have been startled by q
curtain which q gust of wind blew into
her face.
