They found the heavy slabs over the

violence were any where visible. But
in the vault itself the six collins were
once again disarranged. lying on top
Of each other and at curious angles.
The vault was in such a position that
water-of which there were no signs
could not have flooded It. There has
been no earthquake to account for the
mystery and no attempt to rob the
corpses.
Negroes fear Of the dead rendered

Subsequently relatives removed all
the collins from the haunted vault and
buried them in ordinary graves.

When Al Setback played with the

he was quiet, steady fellow, with

he seemed to be little daxed by his
surroundings. He went to Washington
with that aggregation Of stars which
had previously made up the disbanded
Chattanooga club, and some Of the
members of that team no man could
ever forget.
One of the most celebrated charac-
tiers composing this galaxy was Wild
Bill Hassamer. Bill was quite a mixer
while in the Capital City. He had al
ways pressing need for money. and
he spent SO much of it that he really
couldn't keep himself arrayed in the
newest suits of clothes.
Consequently the question of wear
ing apparel was a serious one with the
versatile Mr. Hassamer. and he was
constantly going to AL Setback for
advice. as Setback had been a clerk in

themselves ut or near the door of their

Scottish year. How it came to be
called Uogmanay day is mystery the
antiqUarians have never been able to
solve
In the year 1911 first footing received
severe check in Edinburgh, for a
band of local toughs took advantage of
the opportunity to hold up Il large
number of citizens and beat those who
resisted. Three or four persons were
killed and 4 large number severely in

arrested most of the robbers and recap
