The road was dark. pitch dark. Three
apprehensive women and as many UNI
brellas We're sticking close to their
lone escort. He said that there was
Lothing to fear. But the night was
dark, and the ghost stories at the
halloween party had had their effect.
The ill-assorted quartet was vending
its way down Central avenue, North
Caldwell. The hour was one-and the
right was dark. the rain battered down,
the leaves rustled as the rain drops
fell, the wind whistlee through the
trees, a twig cracked beneath the es-
cJrt's feet, one of the quartet shrieked,
snd 10 and behold, a ghost appeared!
Gentle reader. his is not a desorip-
ton of the witch scene in Macbeth
1t is a true story; it occurred last
night, and four flesh and blood individ-
uals, and a ghost are the kparac-
tiers.
Whether the ghost appeared because
the woman screamed, or whether he
would have appeared anyway will
never be known. But he appeared. and
all the women screamed and the escort
burst. the buttons off his coat so hard
did his heart beat. He pretended, how
ever, hat he was calm and unafraid.
All men are deceitful.
Mrs. Howard Holmes, Miss Lillian
Holmes and Miss Katherine Brandley
were the women that composed the
party. The name of the escort will
never be known. 1t would mean dis
grace and ruin to disclose 1t.
The faster the quartet moved the
faster the ghost moved. Helter-skelter
went the quartet, helter-skelter went
the ghost. And he said '~boohoohhh,
hoo 10000" and his robe tapped in the
wind, his eyes shown. his ears swayed,
and his feet were invisible.
Suddenly the tasty moving party
came to a sudden halt; a turn in the
road which they did not heed brought
them squarely up against a tall chest

MINER KEEPS TRAGIC
RECORD OF SEVEN-DAY
FIGHT AGAINST DEATH.
Gives Up Hope Of Rescue on
Friday, the Thir-
teenth.

BRIDGEPORT, Cal, Nov. IAN old
assay certificate, found on the body of
j. J. d. Miller, who died in the shaft
of his mining claim, twelve miles north
of here, bore the pencilled record of the
mans seven-day imprisonment. He
died October 10. but his body was not
found until last Saturday. A leg was
pinned against the side of the shaft by
a mass of rock and the body stood up-
right with head thrown back. The
shaft is inclined and he must have seen
the sun as he wrote the last line of his
diary.
"Friday noon-The thirteenth day, no
hope.'
The certificate was folded, and had
been replaced in his pocketbook. The
daily record follows: :
4oeteber 6-Frank Yparraguirre,
Sweetwat e: If help does not come,
send this message to M. G. Miller. wife,
H~arrisonburg, Va, and wire what 20
do with the body. J. d. Miller.
This occurred Friday morning, Octo-
Der 6. 1t is now Saturday noon. No
help yet. Why did this Gomez"
Sunday night-It is cold and long.
God help me. I forgive mother"
'Monday-It. is noon. Why did Dick
forget? A drink of cold water would
taste good. Am getting weak"
Tuesday night-The end is near
Don't see how Dick can forget me-"
Wednesday night-Guess tonight will
be the last; no hope; the end near"
Thursdays record is illegible.
Friday noon-The thirteenth-No
hope"
The "Dick'' referred to is Richard
Barnes, a teamster on the ranch. He
found the body.
