CUSTER GHOST.
Strange SDecter Seen ON the Great
battlefield.
Denver Times


A. b. Rumsey, of Billings, Mont points
derce of a spector which haunts the battle
ground where Custer fell. This photograph
shows the shadowy form of giant Indian
brandshing a hunting knife upon which is
impaled the pigmy figure Of a man. The
specter is leaning forward above the famous
Custer monument itself, even while a score
of persons stand around sightseeing in the
broad light of day. But for all of this Mr..
Rumsey does not believe in ghosts.
The photograph has a history. Mr. Rum
sey had been taking some views of the Gus
ter battlefield and also of the sun dance Of
the Crows, who were holding a celebration
in that neighborhOOd The view of the
was very bright and at a considerable dis
tance away. Chances for snap shots had
been numerous all day and Mr.. RumSeys
plates We're nearly all gone by sunset. But
just about that time Mr. Rumsey saw an
excellent opportunity to photograph a big
dance. Selling a plate holder he slipped il
into the camera and made the exposure.
This plate chanced to be one which he had
already exposed before the Custer monu-
ment In the darkroom Mr.. Rumsey con-
fesses that he was surprised until he put
two and two together"
As shown in the illustration, the exposure
made before the monument in the bright
sun OF monday gave clear-cut picture.
The second exposure, made upon the In
dian found the plate already dnlled, and
this fact in connection with the further
fact that the sun was low and the light was
weak caused the figure of the Crow war
line The figure impaled on the knife is Of
leather, but in connection with the place it
is a strikngly realistic production of
thing that is wholly unreal.

Settlement of Amishmen fn Southern
Indiana.

LOUISVILLE COurler-JOurnal
About ten miles from Washington, Ind
in Daviess county, there is a fertile section
of land owned and cultivated by a peculiar
sect Of people known as the Amish Very
little is known of them except by people
living in the immediate vicinity of their
settlement
The Amish came to Indiana at an early
date and bought rich farms for a nominal
price. They have added greatly to their
possessions until now this settlement takes
up thousands of acres. Their peculiar man
Eers and customs are interesting
According TO their religious beliefs the
Amish are not allowed to use buttons on
their clothes. Instead of buttons they use
hooks and eyes. Their clothing IS home
spun, and they wear black slouch hats
All Amishmen let their hair grow long and
fall over their shoulders. They never shave
and have heavy boards OF unusual length
They invariably drive black horses. They
prefer death rather than swear in court
They are an economical sect of people and
are great traders. They seldom pay ash
for anything, but always insist on trading
farm products and poultry for what they
want.
Their settlement is divided up into farms
of an equal number OF acres. They abide
strictly by a code Of laws handed down to
them by their ancestors. One OF these
laws is TO the effect that no Amishman IN

day and fastest quarter ever paced were
made here to-day and yet the worlds pac-
ing record stands as Star Pointer made it at

the conditions were just right, but there
were unfavorable circumstances connected
with both the Star Pointer and Joe Patchen

to-day, but the horse showed plainly that
his mouth troubled him. He got away slow,
and, fearing to hurt his mouth, McClary
drove him wide of the pole. From the half
on he was squared away, doing the third
quarter in 2S seconds and the last half in
5S24 seconds.
Patchen was fit for the race of his life
to-day, but the pacemaker failed to come
up fast enough, and the first and second
quarters were seen TO be slower than Patch
could go. He came the last half in 59A
seconds, lowering his record a quarter of
second ana finished strong and well within
