OFFERS PRIZE FOR ODD ESSAY
"How 1t Seems to Be Overwhelmed
with Knowledge" Theme for
Students.

Buchanan, Mich.--Once again Will
lam Maitland, this towns most eccen-
trio character, has stepped into the
limelight. This time he offers prize
of $50 to the local graduating class for
the best essay on How 1t Seems to Be
Overwhelmed with knowledge"
Maitland, who is said 10 be one of
the wealthiest BARRIERS in this state,
having recently fallen heir to consid-
cradle money, is one of the strangest
characters in existence. Each spring
for the past Is years he has closed up
his shop, put his valuables in the
bank, donned his old clothes and
started out on the road for an extended
trip. He claims to be we'll acquainted
with all the leading hoboes of this
country, and further claims, that there
is not Jail or lookup in radius of so
miles that has not been graced with
his presence.
Maitland announces that he will not
make his usual jaunt this spring, but
instead will have the leading hoboes
visit him here this summer. Needless
to say a great deal of influence is being
brought to bear to induce him to
change his mind.

Thinking that the environments of

home of relative, three miles in the

occurrences are still taking place
daily
There are many attempts at solving
the mystery At first it was thought
that the house, which is built of
brick, had in some manner been cleo
trified, which was soon disproved. An
other theory is that the boy has ac-
cumulated hidden force which was
acting without his knowledge Others
think that the lad has the strange
power possessed by mediums. Still
others believe that the circumstances
all have natural causes, whatever they
may be.

ACTS OF YOUTH
BATTLE DOCTORS
BOY POSSESSES MYSTERIOUS
POWER OF ATTRACTING IMAM.
MATE OBJECTS.
BELIEVED TO BE HYPNOTIZED
Home Has Been Visited by Hundreds
of People, Who Cannot Account
for the Strange Hap
penngs.

Mount Horeb, Wis.-The citizens of
this village have been considerably
troubled during the past few weeks by
the actions of Henry Brophy, a young
lad IL years of age.
The boy lives with his grandparents
in the center of the village and is a
lad of more than usual intelligence.
The grandparents are aged people.
They are retired farmers, having
purchased a nice home at Mount Horeb
and moved to that village about year
ago.
The first strange acts were no
ticed on March 3, and since that time
stories as weird as the phantom ghost
have been transpiring in rapid sue
cession. The strange occurrences al
ways take place in the presence of
the boy, never when he is absent from
the house.
Some of the best and most highly
respected people of Mount Horeb claim
to have witnessed scenes for which
they cannot give the slightest expla-
nation.
1t seems that the prevailing circum-
stances are that all articles that move
about in mysterious manner nearly
always travel in the direction of the
boy, who is usually on the opposite
side of the room from that side from
which the article starts
On one occasion relative brought
basketful of eggs to the house and
set them upon the table, and while
talking to the members of the family,
one egg suddenly flew out of the bas-
ket, striking the boy in the face On
another occasion drawer in the sew
ing machine came out of it's place and
came flying through the room, scat
tering the contents in every direction.
