GHOST PEERS INTO WINDOW
Has Been Seen by Many Residents,
But None Have Courage to In
vestigate - Rumor of
Practical Joke.

Nez Perez, Idaho.-At intervals for
two months citizens report seeing a
ghost during all hours of the night
woman ghost, dressed in long, black,
flowing gowns, with either a white or
black scarf tied closely over her head
till the face was almost invisible.
When C.. w. Felt, merchant,
brought in the report two months ago
that a mysterious woman had been
hanging around his house during the
small hours of the night he was ridi-
culed. But now sentiment is changed.
Dozens of people have seen the appari-
ton, but not one has had courage to
ask her business Children keep close
indoors at night. Adults shake their
heads and no one investigates. In fact
the ghost has the whole town "buffa-
loed."
Two months ago Mr.. Felt told the
first ghost story. The mysterious
woman was seen silently walking
through the residence district near his
house For an hour it stood by his
gate in the darkness gazing at the
house, but never entering the yard
Then other citizens saw the stranger.
Then it disappeared as suddenly as
1t came, to reappear two weeks ago.
This time instead of combining it's
nightly vigil to Mr. F'elt's house the
phantom promenaded all over the city,
and made headquarters near the house
where John Muir hanged himself on
January 1. 1905. Muir's body was not
found for five months.
"Muir's ghost" said some, but the
skeptics still refused to believe the
ghost story. One morning Mike OCon-

and Charles Hemeon of Shelburne, N.
s., fishermen, were picked up by the
schooner Flora S. Nickerson and
brought to this port Both men were
unconscious in the bottom of their
boat when the schooner came up to it.
The men belonged to the fishing
schooner Quannapowitt, which they
lost in the fog last Tuesday, and they
had drifted more than 200 miles when

When Matheson revived he said:
I'VE went out last Tuesday from the

way back on account of the fog. Tues

morning there was a northeast gale.
One huge wave wrenched away the
oars. Another sea swept Hemeon over
board, but I caught him and pulled
him back. All Wednesday night and
all day Thursday we were driven in
the teeth of the gale. Thursday night
Hemeor lost his mind. No food or wa

Hemeon raved and accused me of not

over the side of the dory. l jumped

walking along Main street late the
night before and in passing vacant
space between two buildings he saw
the ghost, silent, motionless, with fold
ed hands and far-away stare. O'Con-
nor had no hesitancy in saying he beat
the worlds sSrinting record going
home.
John Olson during the early part Of
the week saw the ghost standing in
front of his house. There it stood, mo-
tionless in the bitter cold. for an hour.
until Mr.. Olson went to bed. Two hours
later he arose and he saw the black fig
ure standing in the same spot.
AS the story travelled imagination
helped the mysterious one out and
many were the remarkable stories told.
Some have imagined they saw it in the
yards or peering in windows at night
and daily report is expected that the
ghost has invaded some homes.
The ghost seems to keep it's vigil on
the streets. People have passed it on
the sidewalk, but not one can give a
description and the woman has never
been seen in daylight.
People believe some man is playing a
practical joke or that the ghost is a
woman slightly demented. AS long as
1t keeps off private property people
are willing to let it roam at will. but
several have sworn dire vengeance
