His Foot Almost Severed But the Ground
Hog Escaped.

Frank Reed. the IL year old son of
|, S. Reed, met with a very painful
accident Saturday night. Frank in
company of several boys got tired of
the circus and left town with their
dogs to hunt ground hogs. About
three miles from town they "holed''
a hog and began to dig him out with
a mattock. While one of the BOYS
was digging the mattock few of
the handle and the sharp edge
struck Frank on the foot just above
the instep almost cutting his foot
off, One of the boys tore up part
of his clothing and bound up the
wound the best he could and young
Wallace who was in the party carried
Frank home on his back, when DIR.
j. W. Hartigan was called and
dressed the wound. 1t will be a
long time before Frank is able to
get out and it is very doubtful if he
ever RECEIVERS perfect use of his foot.
After being injured and during the
tiresome journey home Frank showed
wonderful nerve and did not utter a
word of complaint. 1t is to be hoped
that no permanent injury will result
from the mishap. The ground hog
escaped.

The Ghost at the Musser Farm.
Kingwood Journal.


In the issue of The Journal of Au-
gust 30, we published a story of a
strange ghost which was purported
to have been seen frequently in a
hollow between Uniontown and the
Musser farm, near the Grant district
line. During the first day of circuit
court in the course of conversation
with Squire W. H. McGibbons, of
Bruceton, and Mr.. John Sliney, who
is engaged in leasing oil lands in
Grant district, Mr.. Sliney related
strange experience he and the
Squire had had at this very place on
the 18th of August last. They were
driving along piece of road on the
side of which was very steep de-
clivity heavily lined with under
brush when Mr.. Sliney saw man
walk across the road about seventy
five yards in front of them. His
dress and appearance so impressed
him that he can describe the appari-
ton for apparition it was to the
minutest detail. He was apparent
ly six feet tall, was very old and
stopped, wore an old fashioned
broad brimmed hat, shabby boots,
coat and pants, checked shirt, but
no vest, and carried in his hand a
staff about Gift. long. He crossed the
road diagonally and vanished. The
moment he saw the apparition he
called Mr.. McGibbons's attention to
it, but the Squire could see no one.
They drove to the spot and careful
ly examined the surroundings, but
no one was there and no signs could
be seen of any one having been there.
1t would have been almost impossi-
BILE for any one to have descended
the precipice without serious injury
and in no case without the gentle
men seeing or hearing him. There
was simply no person there. Mr..
Sliney was very much worried about
his strange experience and spoke of
it often to the Squire and his part
ner, Mr.. Tobin, who joked him a
good deal about his strange man in
the mountain. Mr.. Slinev did not
know others had seen strange things
on this road until Squire McGibbons
read the story in The Journal to
him. He says he doesn't believe in
ghosts, but he frankly acknowledges
that the apparition has caused him
to worry good deal. He can't un-
derstand it.
