INDIAN GHOST STORY
REMARKABLE HAPPENING APP.
PARENTLY AUTHENTICATED.
Fact Of chld's Return from the Grave
Attested by Eyewltnesses, Though
the Narrative Sounds Strange to
Western Ears.

The latest ghost story is recorded in
the Friend of Burmah, and 1t 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 few days
ago. In that quarter of the town live
a married couple; the husbands name
is Maung Yum and his wife May
Neain. They had little son years
old, who, after a 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, UNI
able to repress his grief, went to the
cemetery two days after the burial.
At the entrance of every Burmese
burial place there is a 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 a 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 APP
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 a calls distance from his house
he met a neighbor, Nah Sein Pwin
who, wondering at what she saw
| screamed out: rs that you, Ko Yum
carrying home your little son?" AS
soon as the child heard the voice he
began moving about in his fathers
arms. Nah Sem Pwin and another
woman came to take it, and a 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 a 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 ant
the man had been carrying nothing
but an apparition from the othel
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, bu'
seemed to be flesh and bone. AS sooI
as Maung Yum was we'll enough to ex
plain how it had all happened a 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.

putting over the election. At that time he thought it good thing; as a servant of the people, and he especially considered himself such, he didn't think now that it was a good thing: the people were against it. Calvin then read the resolution printed above, and the crowd laughed as he finished. Hoxsie seconded the adoption of the resolution; Hill followed suit. He said he had voted for the ordinance referred to- but since that time number of his friends had requested him to rescind both ordinances; he felt now as then that the ordinances were legal, (laugh- ter) he had consulted the city attorney, and other attorneys (more laughter as to the legality of the proposition, but as servants of the people and not their masters he was perfectly willing to abide by the decision of the people, who were largely against the ordinan- ces; he was tired and would be glad to lay down office next April: he had had strenuous time for the past nine months he didn't believe in the die tum "The people be damned, although he had been credited with it.
 Bard arose. He was not hedging a bit, he said; the fall was the best time to hold the election, but the people didn't want this council to hold over, and he bowed gracefully to their de- cision: he didn't think it would be legal for this council to hold an election for short term, but it would be legal for this council to hold over.
 Stevens said that he was glad that this little difficulty" had been ar ranged so gracefully. He could see by the crowd present that the tax payers were interested. He went on to say that the spring was the best time to hold the elections; it gave the sour doughs a chance to vote for the right men. An election in the fall would en- able corrupt politicians to influence votes.
 Hoxsie here objected to Stevens re- marks: Stevens was not speaking to any question. he was merely making a grand stand play, Hoxsie said, and as soon as Hoxsie sat down, the debate was shut off, the resolutian being car ried by unanimous vote.
 Hoxsie said there was something wrong with the roll call. At the last meeting his name had been called first; he didn't object to that, but he wished that some definite arrangement of the names of councilmen should be made. The clerk stated that this would be done.

 AND REVIVED

Editor THE NUGGET: The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft inferred with their bones. So let it be with Nome'S city council.
 Evidence of the return of prosperity was shown on Monday evening. The farce comedy entitled Municipal Or dinances Embalmed and Revived,' to- gether with the high-kicking under the bamboo tree at the Northern, fur nished the evenings entertainment. Verify the acrobatic feats of the city council are truly wonderful and worthy of place among Alaskan exhibits at the Worlds Fair. Their conduct in muti- lating the body of an ordinance, with out consultation of constituents, stinks in the nostris of all fair-minded men, and their subsequent handsprings in introducing resolution of buttermilk and clabber to counteract their previ- ous conduct only goes to show how vacillating and weak they are when confronted with a council chamber full of indignant citizens. Unfortunately. Galvin's resolution required only one second, as they dislocated their jaws in secondins and advocating the amend
 ment. It was the same old thing over again: Moved and seconded, speeches in favor of the plaintiff by the defend- ants lawyer, evidence for the prosecu- tiOn and defense, rebuttal, surrebutal, and even Madam Rebuttal testimony: everyone allowed to speak but Stevens. Nevertheless. the evidence is all in, and, very large jury being present. it Is unanimously decided and recorded that the majority of the city council are guilty of intentional fraud, super induced by ignorance, greed and don't glve-a-damntivenesS, and we sentence them to be hung by the heels, among the archives of the new city hall, until such time as their brains return to the cells made for them by their Creator and as warning to their successors to keep off the tundra. l..
