quieting a headless spook that has been
haunting the Davis house for the past
six years and thereby bringing peace TO
a disturbed and distracted neighborhood.
John Tibbctts of this town has bought
the ghost house" SO called, and moved
it on one Of his vacant lots. After he has
Iedtted and furnished the building he viii

The story of the ghost is peculiar IN
the records of demonolOgy. Six years
ago this fan James Davis. a young man
who had become mildly insane from re-
llgiOus excitement. made an effort 20
convert his father. The elder Davis was
reluctant to accept the faith of his son.
though he freely confessed a desire TO
80 10 heaven after death.
80 you viii own up TO that much, will
you?' said the son. You really wish
&c so to heaven, do you?'
"Of course. J do replied the old man.
"Then 20 now" said the son, striking
his father across the neck with an ak
and sevcring his head from hts body
After killing his father the young man
concealed the head, and told the neigh
bOrs that he had committed the act be-
cause his parent had entreated him 10 DO
SO. After the headless body was buried
the young man was tried and committed
TO the insane asylum at Augusta, where
he died two years later.
While the murderer was living there
were no signs OF disturbance about the
Davis house but the night after the
young man died according to noighbor-
hood gossip. headless skeleton came

occupied the house asked the skeleton
what was wanted, and a voice which had
the tone OF the elder Davis replied:
Il want my head. and / want IT damn
Cd bad. Come on and help me find it,"
Instead OF accepting the Invitation. the
tenants ran across the road and called
Ny Tibbets out OF bed As soon as the
headless ghost was made aware Of Tib-
belts presence IL ran off through the
fields I'm the direction Of the grave yard

dropped into the ground az the Davis
burial plot During the past few years

about the house every dark night. stay
