mile north of Roanoke College they
had come across the dead body of

over the face and blood trickling from
the back of the head. Near by they
said, was a mans tall, silk hat lined
with red. Several people with lanterns,
a, two different times, went to tho place
designated by the children. but could
not see any signs OF body. Yesterday
morning the father of the three children
went with them to the place where they

grass trampled down there we're no
signs of any one having been there.
The children are so earnest and appar-

dead that there are many yet who think
there may have been some fearful trag-
