HOUSE IS HAUNTED
Curious Mob Is Attracted In
Chicago Streets
a JOKE, SAY THE POLICE
So Great Did the Crowd Become
That Police Had to Use Fire
Hose to Disperse it-Woman Says
It's Ghost.

CHICAGO, July 3l.-Five thous-
and men women and children pushed
and crowded each other last night to
ret glimpse of Haunted House"
ut lol West 21st street. Moth
ers with children in their arms and
ethers clinging to their skirts pushed
their way through the masses of peo-
pie in efforts to get closer position
TO the haunted" habitation. Auto
mobiles and wagons lined the streets
for blocks. Street car traffic on the
street was tied up until the police op-
sned passage.
Thirty uniformed policemen fought
the curious crowds, eight arrests were
made and the prisoners were locked
mp on charges of disorderly conduct
al times the police were unable to
cope with the crowd and fire hose
was brought into play. Streams Of
water were poured onto the crowd,
which then fed in all directions.
While the policeman were battling
with the crowds detectives were at
tempting to run down the perpetrators
OF the joke, for the police consider
the ghost nothing more than the
work of practical joker. The de-
tectives questioned several members
Of the family of VIM. Bachelor, who
occupied the house and from what
they learned they believe that sever
al men who attended party at the
Bachelor home Thursday night when
the "ghost" manifestations were heard
are responsible for the joke. Mrs.
Bachelor refused to believe that the
ghosts" are the work OF joker. She
insists that the rappings and other
manifestations were the work of a
spirit Her brother, Harry Ludding
ton, declares that he is positive that
his sisters home is haunted.
