That picturesque old saw-mill of the
defunct Wellington Lumber Company
is reported to be haunted by grueSome
spectres and ghosts that pass the night
with fluid revelry, interspersed with
popular songs of the day. Mr.. Joseph
Slulhattan, gentleman farmer resid
ing about two miles northwest of the
fair grounds, passing The old mill last
Sunday night was seriously frightened
by the diabolical yells of the hilarious
spooks. One of the spectres, as Mr..
Mulhattan afiirms, chased him for over
mile towards his home. The unranny
thing had the torn of beautifni
young woman, but her face shone with
an unearthly brightness, blood-red and
flaming like fire, while her long, fiery
red ringlets were gnarled and twisted.
matted about her head, resembling II
nest of serpents coiled about the head
of Medusa. Mr.. Mulhatton says that
she terrified him and his horse. When
he first saw her she was perched on
pile Of lumber belonging to the Buck
eye Lumber Company, which adjoins
the old sawmilI. As the horse and his
rider passed her she flew down from
her seat with the ease Of bird, aIight-
ing in the middle of the road. The
horse reared back on his launches,
almost unseating Mr.. MuIhatton. The
ghost made grab for the reins, and
then the horse bolted, happily in the
direction Of home Mr.. Mulhatton was
scared half out of his wits, for looking
blck. he saw the wierd thing almost at
the horses tail, chasing after them.
After pursuing him for about q mile
Mr., Mulhattan says that she suddenly
stopped, turned and flew back to the
mill again.

Judge Lochren. has decided that the
Minnesota pink law, " providing that
all oleomargarine or butterine offered
orsale in this state must be colored :
bright pink, is constitutional, and the
officials Of the state dairy and food
commission are happy, though they
lost possession Of that car Of oleo that
was seized back in 1895. The decision
has been filed at Duluth, where the
case was brought, and copies were
fled with Assistant Attorney General
Edgerton and Dairys Conan issioner An

It was in 1895 that the inspectors Of
the dairy and food department seized a
carload of oleo from Armour & Co., at
Duluth. The inspectors relied upon
their own authority and did not take
the precaution to- obtain warrants
from the court.
