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 90
the rounds of the press, are published
as facts. when the intelligent reader
knows they cannot he true. there is
no reason that people become skepti-
cal. On one subject skepticism is
rapid disappearing. This is due To
the actual personal experience of our
citizens and their utterInces regarding
them. The doubter must doubt no
more in the face of such evidence as
this. The public statement of re
putable citizen living right here at
