TO the othsr. the combined efforts Of
three or four stout men being unable
TO hold Il In place On Friday night
the casters were taken on and several
chairs propped against Il to make Il
steady, but the moment the boy
stretched himself out on the mattress
the bedatead commenced quaking and
5waying. and finally overturned the
chairs and swept out into the middle OF
the room.
Each night for more than a week this
strange performance has been repeated
and the mystery h yet unsolved. DR..
Hood Of Roscoe has been called In and
Is making a careful study Of the case.
He has visited the boy twice Upon
each examination he found traces Of
fever aud evidences Of nervous exhaus.
ton.
Whether these conditions are due Ia
the experiences through which the IT.
tie fellow has passed % whether they
have some intimate connection with
the remarkable manifestations de-
scrlbed above he Is unable TO deter
mine. In the meantime the excitement
has not abated In the least. the strang'
phenomenon forming the chief topic o.
conversation In the nelghborhood. TIT
boy seems rather annoyed than please,
AZ the curiosity which he has arouse'
and eyinoes little inclination to tall
concerning his peculiar powers.
