SH! GHOST
WILL WALK

Sierritt, Okla, Oct 2S.-The annual
appearance OF the celebrated Fort
washita ghost is expected next sat
urday night, and several citizens here
viii become members Of a watch party
Il is planned this year to solve. if pos
sible, these mysterious visitauons
For a number OF years there has been
a ghost story. doubtless founded in
romance. told about the annual ap-
pearance Of an apparitlon and strange
noises at old Fort Washita. which was
occupied by government troops in the
early days. but was long ago aban-
doned.
Il is claimed that the ghost appears
al least once and sometimes twice
each year. on the last nights OF Octo-
Der and March. On the nights men
toned, as regularly as the years come
and 60. there appears the apparition
OF a young and beautiful woman, who.
as she is watched, beckons to the OBJ
server 10 follow as she silently floats
away across the stream at the fort
and disappears. At the same time. Il
is also said. the sounds OF horses
hoofs as OF a troop OF cavalry can be
plainly heard. Many people claim to
have seen this apparition and to have
heard the noises A family by the
name Of Davis occupies the house for
merly the officers quarters at the
fort. and they assert that never a
season passes without the apparition.
The romantic foundation Of the
ghost story is that a young leuten-
ant was sent from an Eastern garri-
son to Fort Washita. he was to have
been married within a week from the
time he received oeders to go to the
frontier post. After discussing the
matter. both he and his fiance decided
that duty should be first and the we'd
ding was postponed until he should be
transferred at some other point or
could prepare a home for her at wash-
tia.
A week after his arrival the young
officer sickened Of fever and died with
the name OF the girl on his lips. She
died OF grief shortly after receiving
the news OF his death. The young
soldier was buried on the banks OF
the stream. Stories are conflicting as
to whether the girl or the officer died
in March or October, but it is claimed
that the ghost is the image of the
young woman and that the noise is
that Of the cavalry troop which the
young lieutenant led.

4 HUNGRY SHARK

Pursued by a ninc-foot shark, which
when they abandoned their boat at
the shore put his front fins ON the
edge of the boat and ate the FISH
therein as q pig would eat out Of a
trough, until in its greed II swallow
cd n big hook thrown into the pile Of
FISH, is the story told by several fisher
mon and people who snw the windup
OF the affair. As indubitahle evidence
of the truth Of he story, the carcass
Of the shark IS displayed. The fisher
men tell how they were returning to
port with their sloop filled to the gum
wales with fish when they noticed n
great fish pursuing them and rapidly
gaining on them, although sim about
loo feet away. They hurried To the
pier, where in terror they scrambled
out of the boat. The shark, for such
the fish proved to be, followed them
and Immediately mounted part way
into the boat. where he began devour-
ing great quantities of fish i'm single
mouthfuls. The fishermen hurricdly
secured shark hook, which they
threw in with the fish. The shark,
after mouthful or two, took the hook
into his mouth along with several fish,
and swallowed it. a crowd of people
had gathered by this time, and all
lent a hand at pulling the monster in.
