1t is repored that football player

ualistic seanee at Greencastle, Ind, q
few nights ago. When the spirit" ap-
peared he tackled it hard, and the Ian

been unfit for publication. The seance
broke up right there, and the alleged
mediums who were conducting it were
landed in Jail. The next morning an
unfeeling magistrate assessed them
$3.50 apiece and they lost no time in
getting out of town. A good way to
