4 REMARKABLE STORY.
Experience Of a Nan Who Threat
ened to Shoot the Aimighty.

Experience Of a Nan Who Threat
ened to Shoot the Aimighty.
A few weeks ago Il story was pub
lished in number of newspapers
concerning mau residing near In
stanter, this State, who, it was said,
had uttered a threat that he would
shoot the Almighty. The story was
that the man had raised his gun and
pointed it toward the heavens, and
that as he did so he was turned into
stone and was unable to move. The
story was generally discreditcd, but
according to the keystone Gazette,
of Bellefonte, there is some truth in
it. The Gazette of Friday contains
the following in reference to the
affair.
"Last week we published Il state
ment about the Stone Man who de-
fled the Deity by threatening to
shoot his God. The story has been
generally discredited but DIR. Nc
Entire, of Howard, in order to find
out what there really was in the
story, wrote to the postmaster at
Instanter, Pa, and in reply receiv-
ed two letters which we print be-
low:
LETTER NO. /.
INsTANTER, Pa, Sept. q, 1897.
G. W.. McEntire, NJ. d., Howard,
Pa.
Dear Sir-Your letter of the ST.,
inst. inquiring as to the truth of the
several different reports running
through the newspapers of our Sec
ton of the State concerning a farm
er being turned to stone, | will say
in reply that a man by the name OF
Decker, living near here, is reported
to have had an experience of that
kind, but was in town Yesterday
looking very pale and scarcely able
to walk. He denies the allegation
but there are different people here
who positively claim to have seen
him, when he was in the position as
reported by the papers. Thcscpco-
pie say that on account of some
mysterious influence, they were I'M
able to get close enough to make
identification complete but they
are positive he was the man. On
the contrary, Decker is very quiet
on the subject, and absolutely re-
fuses to discuss it. One thing is
very apparent, that before this was
supposed to have happened, he was
very profanc man, but now he is
altogether changed, so much so, that
any one having known him before,
would not now recognize him at ALL
Trusting this explanation will
crafty your curiosity, ! remain,
Very Respectfully,

the threat and getting his gun and
going into the orchard and pointing
to the heavens. He says when he
