OWL TOLLS CHURCH BELL.

Big Bird Gives Bloomfield, N. J, Com
 bined Fire and Ghost Scare.
 The bell in the tower of the little Methodist church at Bloomfield, N. J., used as fire tocsin, boomed alarm after alarm across the quiet cotntry early on a recent morning Scores of residents turned out, many of the men with buckets and axes, to help the local department face the dreaded fires. But no red glares showed in the sky, and they found the church locked, just as Sexton Harry Van Ness left it Sunday night
 "A ghost, by heck" whispered Van Ness. No Twin mans tollin' that bellr
 He refused to enter the tower. The bell kept on toling more fire alarms. There was a call for volunteers. Brave Giles Van Riper stepped from the ranks and unlocked the door
 "Whos rngn' that belI?" demanded Van Riper "Decar' yourself before come after you!"
 "Who-oo-oow came the mOcking an- swer, in tone like shen in fog.
 Backed up by score, Van Riper climbed aloft. Ding dong, ding dong, continued the bell, Then there was a flash of white into Van RIper's face, and something cut across hls flesh like the bony fingers of q skeleton. He and the valiant twenty piled down the steps In a panic.
 Outside they waited until dawn, when the spirit should go back to its hiding place. Just as the sun rose the last peal sounded Cautiously they reas' cended the steps, and there-dead as a morgue full 0E doornails-they found a great white owl. One of Its talons had caught fast in the bell rope when 1t flew into the tower after pigeon, The owls struggles to escape caused the bell to ring It died of exhaustion.

THE GRAND JURY
" i'll Begin Next Tuesday Investigation
of the Killing of Lee Howard

1t is understood that the grand jury
will begin on Tuesday next an inves-
tigation of the case of B. B. Short, who
on Saturday night shot and killed Lee
Howard in Chamberlain's cafe, on Tex
as street between Market and Edwards
The two men, gamblers, had quar-
relied over bet on the result Of the
base ball game and blows followed in
which Short was worsted. Short left
the scene, the Palace saloon, about 7
O'Clock, and at about II 80 located
Howard in the cafe, where the quarrel
was renewed. 1t is stated by eye wit
nesses that Howard was trying to evade
Short when he seized small molasses
pitcher and struck short with it. Short
drew his pistol and fired 1t is alleged
Howard was shot while down on the
floor. There was no weapon about or
on Howard when he was carried from
the cafe He was not seen with a
weapon preceding the affray, and he
relied on his fists as a means of self
defense. 1t is said in his behalf that
he had determined to quit gambling and
engage in the electric theater business,
and was awaiting money with which to
secure partnership with one already in
this occupation.
1t is related that after the first en-
counter Short left, going to his wom-
ans house, who implored him not to
take the pistol with him. Short was
ready to meet Howard when he located
him in the cafe and shot him fatally.
Howard died before reaching the
Sanitarium where he was being con-
veyed. The body was taken to Well
mans and prepared for buriel The in
terment was in Greenwood cemetery
Monday afternoon. Howard is mourned
by his wife and a child. He was from
Texas where he has relatives.
Short has not been in Shreveport long
1t is said he came to Shreveport from
Fort Worth, Texas. He has for coun-
sci Hon. John R. Land. From all ac-
counts the State has a strong case
against Short, who, however, claims
that he shot in self-defense
