GH0STLY FORM
SAVED LIFE
Of FARMER

New York. Dec. 1i.-When the Society
for Pyschical Research holds it's next
meeting IL might call before II Charles
Henry Durand, a farmer living about
three miles from Caldwell, ~. j., ana
hear his story of how his lifc waS saved
by a strange apparition he met in the
roadway on Monday night
Since tho death OF his wife Durand has
lived alone in the old farmhouse lie was
on his way home from Paterson after
dark Monday night when his horse stop
ped still In the road and refused to move.
The horse trembled so violently that Du-
rand strained his eyes iI the darkness to
learn what the animal had seen.
He says he saw a flicker of blush light,
which moved toward him until 1t was
beside his wagon, and then took on a
misty shape. II repeated to him three
times the warning, do not go home for
several hours
With the cold chills running up and
down bis spine and the goosefiesh stand
ing out over his body like a man with a
chill, he tried TO drive on after the APP
partition was gone. The horse refused TO
bulge. The animal had broken out In a
cold sweat.
FINDS TRAP IN SLEEPING ROOM.
Durand says he unhitched the horse and
blanketed him. 1t was then about IL
O'Clock For two hours he worked with
the horse, which seemed afflicted with tho
ague. After hitching up again. he drove
slowly to his home
IL was then nearly o'clock. He put
the horse into tho barn and went inside
the house The first sight that met his
eve was muddy footprint. Durand
found that nothing had been taken, al
though the house was a bit upset. He
found window on the ground floor that
had been opened In his absence. showing
how the intruder had entered.
There were footprints on the stairs and
i'm the hall leading to his sleeping room.
When about 20 enter. Durand stopped
and looked closely Across the door at a
height half way 10 his knee. so that his
foot or shin must strike IT, was a string.
Instinctivey. the farmer says. he felt
that something threatened his life
BULLET MISSES ITS MARK.
To the man of the woods. used to the
SHARING Of birds and animals the string
across the door suggested a spring or a
trap. Durand went downstairs and re-
turned with an umbrella. lie stood against
the wall Of the hall and with the UNI
brella handle gave the string pull In
stantly there was a report and bullet
imbedded itself in the end OF the wall
Investigation later showed II was at
about the height of mans chest
Durand then entered the room and found
revolver fastened TO a dresser. The
string led from the trigger to the door
1t was ingeniously arranged to shoot the
person who entered the room
He believes the apparition in the road
saved his life He says he recognized the
figure and the voice and II was OF a
person now dead Of whom he was fond.
Further than this he refuses TO talk.
