PEOPLE We KNOW.
They are Belfast People and what the J
Say is of Local Interest.

When an incident like the following occurs right
here at home it is bound to carry weight with our
readers. When so many strange occurrences go
the rounds Of the press; are published in facts;
when the intelligent reader knows they can't be
true, there is wonder that people become skep-
teal On one subject skepticism is gradually dis
appearing. This is due to the actual personal
perience of our citizens and their public utter
anceS regarding them. The dOubter must doubt
