BELIEVED HIMSELF HAUNTED.-In
the United Presbyterian Church at
Claysville, Pa, yesterday Michael Big
gems, a Catholic, who has grudge
against the Wocdburn family and be-
lieves that one of the Woodburn girls
haunts him with unesrthly powers,
stepped across the church to the seat of
the Woodburn family and demanded in
loud tones from the head of the house
that he free him from the present tor
ment. Biggens laid hold of Woodburn
with such violence that it required the
assistance OF three men to put him out
of the church. Children screamed.
women tainted, and for while there
was great excitement. Biggens was
finally taken to his home, but it is
probable that he will be taken to an
asylum.

A SKELETON IN A TREE.

! Evidence of what is supposed to have
been murder committed many years
ago was brought to light at Elk River,
near Princeton, Minn., Saturday by an
electrical storm; but it is not likely
that there will be an investigation. as
there are but few who remember any
thing about the tragedy. During the
height of the storm a large oak tree
near town was struck by lightning.
| according to Alexander Bowers, who
took the news to Princeton, the tree
|, q hollow one-was split open from top
TO bottom.
AS Mr. Bowers was going along the
road past the tree his attention was at
tracted by something white within the
hollow, and as the old tree was land
mark. he made an investigation, and
sound that the white object was the

When the news of the find was by

some of the older residents that num- /,
Der ofyears ago half-witted girl had |
from the village, and that |
no trace of her had ever been found.
She had lived with her father there,
and soon after her disappearance he
had gone away. Whether the girl was
murdered and hidden in the hollow
tree, or whether she fell in through
hole some distance from the ground,
where big limb had been broken off,
and starved to death, will never be
known.
The general belief at Elk River is
that the young woman was killed and |
placed in the tree. The cavity in the
tree was we'll filled with leayes and
wood; hence the bones were not seen
by people who had climbed into the |
tree of late years. Yesterday the bones |
were buried.
