INDIAN GIL y Z. STORY
REMARKABLE HAPPENING .AP-
/. PARENTLY.s= AUTHENTICATED.
Fact Of Child's Return from the Grave
t. Attested by Eyewitnesses, Though
the Narrative Sounds Strange to
Western Ears.

The latest ghost story is recorded In
the Friend of Burmah, and it is at
tested by several eyewitnesses, who
saw the ghost, not during the night,
as is usually the case,> but in broad
daylight. 1t happened in the Mon
yinzu quarter of Pakokku a few days
ago. In that quarter of the town live
married couple; the husbands name
is Maung Yum and his wife May
Neain. They had little son years
old, who, after serious illness, died.
The baby was buried in the cemetery
outside the town, his cradle serving as
a coffin.
The father was very much detected
at the loss of his little one and, I'M
able to repress his grief, went to the
cemetery two days after the burial.
It was about 8 o'clock in the morning.
At the entrance of every Burmese
burial place there is zayat, or rest
house, wherein people gather and chat
and smoke and take shelter from the.
sun or rain whenever they accompany
a funeral. On entering the graveyard
Maung Yum was not little surprised
to see his son, or at least some one
looking exactly like his son, playing
in the zayat, near the cradle. He was
at first horror struck, but paternal af-
lection getting the upperhand, he ap-
preached the baby, and, to entice him,
gave him one pice.
The boy took the coin readily and
offered not the least resistance when
the father took him in his arms and
carried him away. Maung Yum could
make nothing out of it but that the
child had been buried alive and that
somebody, attracted soon after by the
sounds coming from the grave, had
dug him out and placed him in the
zayat Full of JOY, he carried his
treasure home.
At the entrance of the town, and
about calls distance from his house,
he met neighbor, Nah Sein Pwin,
who, wondering at what she saw,
screamed out: us that you, Ko Yum,
carrying home your little SOM" AS
soon as the child heard the voice he
began moving about in his father
arms. Nah Sein Pwin and another
woman came to take it, and short
struggle ensued between them and the
boy, and Maung Yum suddenly lost his
senses and fell heavily to the ground.
The two women made dash for the
little one, but, 10! nowhere was he to
be found; he had disappeared com
pletely, leaving no trace behind.
The unfortunate man was carried
home by some kindly neighbors, but
he was long time in recovering his
senses. The child was a ghost and
the man had been carrying nothing
but an apparition from the other
world. That it appeared real enough
the two women are ready to swear,
since they not only saw, but touched
it. 1t was no smoke or vapor, but
seemed to be flesh and bone. AS soon
as Maung Yum was we'll enough to ex-
plain how it had all happened hur-
ried visit was made to the cemetery
in the hope of, perhaps, seeing the
boy in the zayat. But they were dis
appointed; neither child nor cradle
was there and the grave was exactly
as it had been left on the burial day,
not in the least disturbed.

Consolation.

One day Gen. Wood attended the
funeral of friend, and, waiting for
the procession to start, the inevitable
garrulous citizen stepped up to him
and remarked:
"Sad about poor Jones, isn't it?"
Very replied Wood.
And yet" persisted the citizen, "his
pretty little widow doesn't seem to be
quite brokenhearted. l suppose her
composure is due to her pastors assur-
ance."
Don't you believe it" said the gen.
eral; lit is due to her late husband
insurance" -Philadelphia Public Led

VI. 7. II. S. TRACK MEN
PRACTICE IN THE GYM

The arrival of the apparatus for the gym
nasium of the Manual Training High
School caused large turnout yesterday.
the whole floor being crowded by candi-
dates for the various events MUIR and
West were the principal ones who limbered
up in the shot-put. The school proba bly
will be represented in the high Jump by Ed
Cook, the crack forward of the basketball
team. In his first try-out he made four
feet ten inches. Grant Johnson, who won
the broad jump last year, may again enter
athletics. Yesterday he and VIII Scott
jumped five feet three inches in their ordi-
nary school clothes. The schools weak
point is the pole vault and of the sew
eral students out yesterday Bohnstadt
showed UP best. He made about nine feet
without his track suit.
The baseball candidates are eagerly
awaiting warmer weather that they NAV
have some outdoor practice at Brookside
Park. especially as the opening game with
Purdue April is not far distant Jack
Cullen has definitely decided TO remain in
town. but instead of playing at his old place
behind the bat on the baseball team he may
try for the relay race. If he does this
Bohlen will probably take charge of the
catching department.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, March .2.-With
Coach Fox on crutches the Purdue baseball
squad practiced out of doors to-day, but
on account of the wet condition of the
diamond there was no regular lineup as
anticipated Jack" Katoll, the Minnea-
polls league team pitcher. arrived to-day
and at once took charge of the eight can
didates for the pitching staff on the Pur-
due varsity team. Katoll gave the men
talk before he took them in hand and to-
morrow he will give them all try-out
The leading candidates for the position are
Jones and Penick. last years pitchers, and
Vogel, Gillian and Baumgardner, new re-
cruits. The two veterans seem to have
better control of the ball than any of the
new men, but the latter with experience,
may develop into strong players. Katoll
will remain with the team for several days
and during the incapacity of Coach Fox
will be the active coach. Fox has a badly
sprained ankle which may not permit of
his joining his Minneapolis team at the
opening of the professional season. For
three days he was confined to the house
and he is now able to get around with great
difficulty. This afternoon the squad was
at work on the cinder path. batting. catch
ing and throwing after which all members
of the squad took a mile run around the
track.

COLLEGE TRACK TEAMS
Nay MEET At THE FAIR
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.


LAFAYETTE, Ind, March 2L-Athletic
Director Cults. of Purdue University, went
to St Louis to-day to make final arrange
ments for the Purdue Missouri football
match there next fall and also to discuss
with the directors of athletics at other
Western colleges a plan to match the col
lege track teams in a track and field meet
at the exposition. This project has been
under consideration for some time and sew
eral Western colleges have already as
sented to the plan. The meet. il it is held,
will bring together the best college athletes
in the West and decide the question of
supremacy in the various departments of
athletics Coach Cults is in favor of the
scheme, ii is said, and will lend his aid
to the project If the exposition meet is
held Purdue will undoubtedly enter Hearn
and Nernier in the half-niile and
mile events, Glover in the pole
vault, and Thomas in the ham
mer throw. Hearn and Nernier could be
depended on to capture some point, as they
have run the mile in time equal to the
Western intercollegiate record.
The defeat of the freshman track team
was a disappointment to the members of
the team, but they are not discoura ged. To-
day Coach Wheeler had the men at work
and a s soon as the weather will permit they
will train out doors Weaver, the negro
hurdler, is looked upon as phenomenon
and in the outdoor event il is believed he
will make good record.

JOHN |, SULLIVAN WILL
SOON Be TOTALLY BLIND
Ex-Champion Heavyweight Pu-
gilist Now a Total Wreck
and May Die.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.

BOSTON, March H.-John l.. Sullivan,
the ex-champion heavyweight pugilist, is
losing his sight. He soon will be totally
blind and it is thought he cannot live. Sui
Ivan has been in poor health for several
weeks and his constitution has been
wrecked by his years of dissipation. Sulli-
van turned over a new leaf not long ago
and it was thought for awhile that he would
leave drink alone. but he soon returned to
his old habits and after his saloon in New
York placed in the hands of a guardian
he has been practically penniless. he re-
fused many offers TO appear on the stage
and whenever he would get hold of any
money he would spend ii for liquor. He is
now total wreck and in such condition
that he may not live but a short time.
