INHERITED PALATlAL PLACE
Apparton Of Deceased Relative Fol.
lows New Owner over Premises
Continually, Finally Forcing
Him to Move.

Elkhart, Embarrassed by the
stalking specter of his aged father-in-
law, John b. Garman, who died two
years ago, John Otterson has aban-
doned palatial suburban place which
was bequeathed him by his deceased
relative. Otterson is wealthy re-
tired merchant having been in bust
ness in Elkhart for number of
years.
While Mr.. Otterson is not prone to
believe in ethereal materialiZations. he
asserts that in spirit form his father
in.law haunted him. The apparition
followed him over the premises, stood
work about his country home, and
frequently was his companion during
the dead hours of night. That Mr..
Otterson has an ordinary tempera-
ment, and is not at all given to nerv.
BUSINESS, makes his story of the ghost
all the more remarkable. He is a
giant physically. and mentally, we'll
educated and well read.
Otterson claims that he only es
capped the apparition when away from
the home and without the boundaries
of the luxuriant gardens where his de
ceased relative spent the greater part
of his four score years.
The aged Mr.. Garman, one of the
pioneers of Elkhart county, left large
estate. To his daughter, Mrs. Otter
