came out here, as it was getting dark,
he became little un-nerved like
fellow will when he has heard big
ghost story. The story had been circu-

began to look for it as soon as dark
came and pretty soon he saw something
standing by the side the road at
suspicious place, which he thought
looked like man but it did not move.
He fetched halt and took a look at it
and it still looked like a man and he
couldn't make out what it was. 1t
stood perfectly still right at the side of
his road so he advanced little on it.
He got out his knife and when he got
right up close to it he saw it was
Garfield Worley with a hog tied and a
sack of pigs on his back.
