TELLS OF A HAUNTED ROOM
Earl to Relate to Son Story Of Strange
Events in Castle Where
Ghosts Roam.

London.-When Lord Glamis comes
OF age the secret of the haunted room
at his ancestral home, CLAIMS castle,
Forfarshire, will be communicated to
him by his father, the earl of Strath-
more. At least that is locally under
stood to have been the invariable prac-
tice on such occasions from time i'm
memorial.
What secret the haunted room con-
oeals lie supposed TO be passed on 10
every heir as he attains his majority;
thur it's precise nature is in the pos
session of never more than two per-
sons at the same time.
Conjecture or tradition, says, how
ever. that in the long ago when the
Lindsays and the Ogllyies were at
feud, number of the latter clan were
Imprisoned and died In that particu-
lar chamber. That the room has some
uncanny pecullarities appears TO be be-
yond doubt, for the late Lord Strath-
more had Il walled up after visiting
the apartment one night to determine
the origin of certain weird noises,
which, II is said. for a long time dis
turbe1 and puzzled him.
Tho earl opened the door with
key. and dropped back in dead swoon
In tao arms of his companions. nor
could he ever be induced to open bis
lips on the subject afterward.

TRAGIC DEATHS IN FAMILY.
Strange Series Of Thirteen Fatalities
Among Relatives Of Indianian
Only Two Remain.

Indianapolis. Ind Thirteen tragic
deaths among members of tho same fam
lily Is the record made by the kin of Abra-
ham Cripe, a German farmer OF Fulton
county, The thirteenth victim was
Samuel Horn, who was killed recently
while hauling logs, But two members
OF the family remain, and the home
stead Is deserted through supersutlous
fear that in some way the place is re-
sponsible for the tragedies.
GRIPPE WAS prosperous but his wife was
discontinued and wanted TO return Ia
the old country. She became insane aud
burned herself to death in pile Of hay.
A few days later Cripes sister fell dead
while at work. Two months afterward
Luclen Grippe, son became deranged
and died within a short time.
Next Elias. a brother, was found muir
dered In his barn. His two sons, Clark
and Jay, died in an Insane asylum. VIII
son Burns, a son-in-law OF Abraham
Grippe, murdered his wife, Joseph Grippe
and Mrs. Margaret Braham. an aunt.
and then blew out his own brains.

OF profit to bolders OF stock. The
plant is taxed to its utmost capa-

carefully investigating resources,

an increase of stock for the pur-

The motion which was adopted
by the citizens Of Lehi in mass
meeting on the night Of Nov. 18TH
and which is found elsewhere in
this paper shows the right spirit.
The three cities interested
should maintain their control Of
the stock of the company.
