never heard of the tragedy was driving
past the house at the exact hour in

dragging a trunk up the steps. The
stranger stopped at the first house until
morning, when an expedition set off to
investigate.
1t was found that the boards which had
been nailed over the windows for years
had been removed during the night, and
the doors were swinging wide out, yet not
a single track could be found in the snow
to indicate that any person had been
prowling around. Several farmers who
passed along the road just at dark the
evening before are positive that boards
were nailed over the windows and doors,
the same as for years. The whole affair
smacks of the mysterious, and has created
no small amount of excitement among the
farmers who have to pass along the road
