MAKE LONG STRETCH

People living on the new Buchanan
street pavement are already getting
promises from property owners be-
tween Fifteenth and Thirteenth streets
to sign a petition for paving Buchanan
street for the two and half blocks
between those streets the first thing
next spring
There seems to be little doubt that
the plan viii succeed and the Isolated
five blocks now being laid on Buchan-
an south Of Fifteenth viii be connected
with the Thirteenth street pavement
A large proportion OF the lots facing
Buchanan street between Thirteenth
and Fifteenth are owned by the Sells
estate. and it IS understood that all of
this property win be represented on a
paving petition. These lots alone win
be almost enough to insure the laying
Of the pavement
The city viii have to pay for half Of
the pavement. as Central park faces
Buchanan street on the east The street
railway viii have two and a half blocks
TO pay for. as its tracks extend the
whole length OF the proposed extern
sion.
This extension Of the pavement viii
do more to help Central park than any
thing which has yet been done for that
T.
ey for the Improvement of the park be-
comes available, the lots which face
the pavement on the west side of the
park viii be among the most desira Bile
building sites in the city.
The car tracks. which now make a
turn before reaching the Thirteenth
street pavement. viii be extended
straight through to Thirteenth street,
and the four sQuintOn" lots, which the
city is now trying to buy at the price
fixed by the appraisers, viii be added
TO the public park.
Street Commissioner Frank Snyder,
who lives on the new Buchanan street
pavement. is one Of the most enthusi-
astic boomers for his part Of town.
Some people thought" he said today,
chat when Buchanan street petitiOned
for pavement between 18th and goth,
with no immediate prospect Of having
that pavement connected with the
main line of the pavement to Washburn
college. that our people out there must
be crazy But it was the best thing
that ever happened to Martin a. Dem
mis- addition, and especially to Buchan-
am street 1T Will make Buchanan
street the main thoroughfare of that
part of town We are certain to have
the intervening two and a half blocks
paved next year, and this. with the
completion of Central park, win make
our part of town one of the most de-
sirable in the city The Buchanan
street pavement now being laid has
Chesney park at one end OF it, and
Central park at the other.
-One Of the hardest lickers against
the Buchanan street pavement won a
good claim down at FL Reno. and is
planning to move down there He is
trying to sell his house which is on the
new pavement He bought the house a
year ago. and paid $1,000 for it, Now he
asks $500, and he viii get a buyer at
that price, too I asked him the other
day how it happened that he had in
creased the price of his property one

II the pavement was laid it would ruin
your property Well, he just laughed.

and a native Of Germany, having come to
America when child. At the beginning Of
the Civil War her husband left to enlist in
the army, and to this day he has never been
heard from.
Mrs. Ferry lives in one-room cabin with
in a stones throw Of the great Catholic
Church, and with her Is her sister, Fanny
Meier, who is 70 years old. Fanny is .
dwarf of less than feet in height. She
speaks good English and impresses a stran-
ger as being above the average in intelli-
gence. When 3 years Of age she was strick-
en- with what is known as the English fever.
and her growth ceased.
For the last twenty-five years Mrs. Ferry
and her sister have lived in this cabin. They
have an acre of land. on which they raise
enough vegetables to last them year. They
also own several goats, from which they
realize several dollars q year. They have
paid for their little home. and are not init
mate with any Of their neighbors.
In the last five years many people living
In Ferdinand have believed Mrs. Ferry and
her sister to possess unnatural powers. Sew
eral weeks ago Frank oelding. a young man
26 years DID, was plowing in a field back Of
the Ferry cabin. All at once his horse
stopped and refused to move. Oelding In
vestigated. He claims that he discovered
Mrs. Ferry few feet away waving her
hands and singing a my sterious dirge. She
soon returned to her cabin and according
to Oelding his horse was then able to walk. .
In the same field With oelding was former
Township Assessor Kaniiingbefg. who was
also working q horse. He claims that his
animal stopped upon the approach of Mrs.
Ferry and proceeded to kick its harness to
pieces. Kanningberg called to Mrs. Ferry
and she returned to her cabin. He ASSERTS
that his horse then behaved as usual. Geld
ing and Kanningberg have tod their expert
ences to a number of friends.
Oelding later met Mrs. Ferry in Ferdi-
nand. and is alleged to have assaulted her
with blacksnake whip. lie accused her
OF being WITCH and said she had be-
witched his horse.
Mrs. Ferry went to Jasper and swore out
a warrant for Oelding's arrest. He waived
examination before Justice Of the Peace
and his case is set for the October term
of the Dubois County Circuit Court.
The case has caused great excitement in
Southern Indiana, and the result OF the
trial Is awaited with interest.
When seen recently oelding made the
following statement in regard to Mrs. Fer
ry:..s.Yes, believe Mrs. Ferry 10 Q witch.
1 fear her like do the evil one, and be-
lieve she is capable of doing me great harm.
I do not fear the result of my case in
court, as the citizens of Ferdinand Town.
ship entertain the same belief that I do.
Mrs. Ferry has caused much trouble here
and the people will not tolerate her"
Frank Ross, Oelding's employer. says Mrs.
Ferry had been acting strangely for I long
time. and that people are afraid OF her.
MIRA Ferry was seen and asked for state.

her. She said II she possessed unnatural
