DON'T Weep OVER
JOE ACkERMAN
He is Not Dead, For the Very Good
Reason That He Never Lived
on Thas Death
Farm.
STORY WAS A MYTH
Energetic Press Correspondent and
Night Rates at Telegraph office
Caused the sensa-
ton.

Ali Illinois is talking about the mar
velous, mysterious, mythical goings-
On at Death Farm" (The name
came from Chicago.) The farm has
been there many years, but until 1t re-
Gently acquired a multitude OF volun-
tary press agents it was unwept, I'M
honored-and unstung.
Thousands OF Illinois eyes have wept
pver the death of Joe Alderman.
Nobody in sandoval. the nearest
town to this shivery farm. ever saw
Joe Alderman. Nobody there ever
will see him, despite the fact that
citizens Of Sandoval will continue to
go In both directions at more or less
frequent intervals Harpists and ex-
pert pitchfork wielders Will be alike
disappointed.
Ii
Joe Alderman Never Lived.
The reason is that there never was
Joe Alderman. 1t was an oversight
on Joe's part that he neglected to
exist. Nevertheless his name will
live.
If Joe could be materialized out OF
the world OF nothingness he would
pat his chest and say:
I'm the fellow you read about.
die on Death arm-Tuesdays and
Fridays,
Nobody In these parts ever heard OF
Death Farm until Joe Alderman died
ON paper.
Then came wonderful revelations
To the four quarters OF the globe, In
Guiding Chicago and Metropolis City,
the news flashed forth that poor Joe
Alderman had died less than three
weeks after the death OF his brother
John.
Some weird, unexplained and ma
lign influence peculiar to Death Farm
oyercame them both.
Scientists Not Fooled.
Scientists were astounded. Expertf
who had never been within 500 miles
of the farm were deeply impressed
by accounts OF sulphurous fumes
which hung over the Inflated place a,
sunrise.
This suggested to the superstitious
Eome Mephistophelian influence
which might account for Joe Acker.
mans death. But the scientists knew
better. One theory advanced by a
st. Louis savant was that there were
nitrates in the vicinity OF the farm.
Following up his suggestion an In
vestigator asked the Western Union
operator there whether there was any
thing in this theory.
Sure" said the operator. 1--WE

sisters Did Not Leave.

The story grew. 1t was said that
the Alderman sisters had fled in ter
ror from the farm. They are still
there. They assign no cause for their
brothers death, except that he was
over-heated while at work in the field
on the hottest day of the year. An
other brother, Steve. has Joined them
since Johns death.
They say they will remain until
their lease expires next month, when
the daughter of Gottfried Palm will
show her disregard of the supposed
"hoo-doo" by taking up her residence
in the little white farmhouse.
Widely published accounts have
told of thousands of visitors going to
Death Farm every day since the death
OF the Alderman brothers. When a
Post-D Dispatch correspondent went
there Thursday Miss Christine Acker-
man told him he was the first visitor
at the farmhouse since last Sunday
when an automobilist stopped and
made photograph.

Mrs. Palm nursed her husband
through his last illness, although she,
too, was an invalid. Two months
later she died, the cause of death
being heart weakness, superinduced
by exhaustion and a chronic COM

At that time there was no express

hung over the farm.

And now for the facts.

The Gottfried Palm farm, 10 miles
northwest OF Sandoval is an S0-acre
tract OF fine farming land on the
banks OF Coles Creek.
Tradition About Other Deaths.
So far as careful investigation
shows there have been three, or at
most four deaths on the farm in the
last 20 years. There is a tradition
that other deaths occurred there
about 80 years ago, but no one there
can verify this.
Eight years ago Gottfried Palm
and his wife moved from the neigh
boring town Of Ferren to the farm
which they had owned for several
years and which had been occupied
for more than quarter Of century,
by families In which the death rate
had not been above the normal.
Palm at this time was nearly 70
years old and had been an invalid for
several years. He was wheeled into
his new home in an invalid chair.
Physicians said paralysis would cause
his death in short time. Less than
a year later he died, as had been pre-
dicted.
