TALKING WITH A SPIRIT.

An Alleged Mysterious Accurrence at
Anderson.
ANDERSON, April Especial. l-About
three years ago Calvin Sanders, the thir-
teen year-old son Of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Sanders, disappeared from home. The
Sanders family formerly resided on w.
feminist. in this city. but is now living in
the southern part of the county near New
Columbus. After the boys disappearance
from home every effort possible was made
to locate him, but without avail, and al
though three years have elapsed no trace
of his whereabouts has been found.
Last night during services there was a
strange visitor in spirit form at the Spirit
ual temple on Madison-ave. The medium
who is conducting the services lie Miss
Walt. who has the reputation among spir-
itualists of being vel up in her business
During her address TO an audience that
filled every corner of the temps the wom-
an stopped suddenly in her discourse.
Whats that?' she said. putting her
hand to her ear and leaning over IN a
manner peculiar to spiritual mediums
while receiving message from the other
world.
"Landers? sawyer7 Sanders? Calvin
Sanders2"
The name was recognized by
number of persons in the audience and
the greatest OF interest was excited.
Through the medium the spirit of Young
Sanders then began converting. and if the
story il 10 believed. the mystery sur
rounding the boys dissppearance from
home an subsequent fate has been
fully cleared. He stated that he had
LETT home out of mere curiosity to ses the
world, and 6nie boat riding was thrown
into a stream by the boat capsizing and
drowned The stream, he said. was in
this state and from the description fur
nished il is thought to be the Wabash
rivsr However, that could not be
learned definitely. The medium then
proceeded to describe the appearance
of the spirit before her and the de-
scriptiOn tallies very closely with that of
young Sanders. Spiritualists regard it as
a remarkable test.
