spooks Haunt Scene of Tragedy.

Boonville, Ind, June 21.-Real
spooks. clad In white and utterinp
fear-inanlring groans. are in full
possession OF the old Hardin home
stead. near Tennyson. according TO
the testimony OF sober and reputable
citizens of the neighborhood. Cyni-
cal townsmen OF this city, believing
that the country folk were the vic
Tins OF practical jokers. have visited
the place and voueh for the reality
OF the supernatural vlsltations.
The Hardin home was the scene
OF bloody dual tragedy Just year
ago next Sunday. June 23. 1906.
when William Hardin. an agel vet
ernn and respected citizen shot and
killed his wife and then, standing
guard over the body until sunrise,
sent a bulkt crashing through his
own brain. Jealousy was the motive
of the act. according to the verdict
OF the coroner.
Since that time the little log cabin
where the tragedy occurred has been
unoccupied. save by the ghost OF the
repentant murderer, who, according
to the villagers. nightly visits the
scene and weeps and walls the whole
night through.
On the night OF the crime. the
pistol shots fired by Hardin attracted
the attention of the neighboys, who
swarmed about the house. only to
be commanded By the wild-yisaged
assassin TO keep their distance on
peril OF death. Sitting by the win
dow. the light burning low. a re-
volver In his hald and the bloody
body of his dead wife by HIS side,
the aged veteran spent his last night
on earth, while scores of curious and
people watched the grin
tragedy enacted before their eyes.
Since that night no one has dared
enter the house. II Is not the ma
terial Hardin, with a revolver In his
hand, that they fear now, but Har-
din's ghost. sobbing In bitter WOO for
his murdered wife and hurting Inn
precautions at those who dare dis
lurb his grief.
