HOUSE HAUNTED
BY BLUE SPIRIT
IN WILL CONTEST
Vicar Admits Sprinkling it,
But Denies Asking Woman
to Give All to
Church.

London, Aug. 1.-THE springling
OF house with holy water, the
amounting Of sick woman with oil,
and Authorizations concerning a
blue spirit" were mentioned in the
trial of Mrs. c. E. Vinehall's suit
to break the will of her sister, Miss
Rose Mary Pate. who left her estate
of $4,000 to St. Thomas's church,
Hove.
Mrs. Vinehall alleged the will had
been obtained by the undue influ-
ence of the vicar, the Rev. Richard
Hippisley Markham.
The Rev. Mr.. Markham said he
suggested to Miss Pate when she
spoke about making a will that she
ought to remember her blood rela
tons and she replied that they were
already provided for. II did not like
the whole thing much" added the
vicar, and | said, 1 hope you won't
leave me anything"
The vicar said Miss Pate offered
her jewelry and $1,000 for the
church building fund
Counsel for Mrs. Vinehal asked ::
Did you go to the house one time
and sprinkle it with holy water? A
Yes.
Odd you anoint her with oil?
A-When she was dying.
Denies Haunted House.
Q-Iou sprinkled the house with
holy water because Miss Pate said
she was haunted with a spirit that
used to come to her house? A-No.
Q-1 am putting to you what |
suggest she sad-that blue spirit
used to come into her room, fill it
with a sort OF mist and then take a
seat III chair which she pointed out
"a blue chair. Is there no grain OF
truth in it, Al have never heard
OF il before
OF you did not sprinkle that
. water i'll connection with exercising
Of this spirit what were the circum-
stances in which you did it? A
When Miss Pate turned her dressing
room into an oratory the maid Oc-
tavia asked me to come and bless the
oratory. At Octavia's request
blessed her room and I suppose the
kitchen and scullery, all the house,
were included.
Counsel argued that the Rev. Mr..
Markham. with his flowers and in
cense, appealed to the senses of an
excitable woman dying of a COM
plant that sapped her mental en-
ergy.
Mrs. Mountcastle testified after a
quarrel with the vicar Miss Pate told
her that he came and wept a! her
knees.
On one occasion the vicar, so Miss
Pate told her. said he had rot been
able to keep his eyes off ncr during
the sermon, and he was afraid the
swelling in her neck would interfere
with her appearance. Miss Pate ap-
peared greatly battered.
Did she tell you about the anoint-
ingI"
'Tes, she told me he brought oil,
which he put on her feet, her chest
and her brow"
Miss Rosa Dawson said Miss Pate
told her of the evil spirit sine mag
ined was in the house, and later said
the vicar had sprinkled the rooms to
exercise the spirit which. however,
had not gone. She said she thought
she had done something wrong, and
that was why the spirit visited her.

that was their big reason in decid-
ing not TO come down for the Notre

meet next Saturday. but that was
the impression they gave.

cause as the Aggie nagement
said the Farmers have a team that
could hardly hope TO give Notre

Memories Of last years overwhelm-
ing defeat IN which Coach Rockne's
Harper took all but one first from
the Farmers, still linger perhaps in
the minds of the Lansing author
tiles. And it IS almost certain that
Gnhllan's return TO school decided
the Michiganders that the Aggies'
best interest would be better serv-
ed by a cancellation Of an early in

GLACIER LOCATED
FOR GOLD MINE

JUNEAU. Alaska, Sept, 2,-(By
Mail .-Diverting the entire stream
of a glacier by means OF tunnel
and locating the glacier as gold
placer claim, is the latest word In
Alaska gold mining,
Mendenhall glacier thus has
sprung into fame. The locator is c.
II. Boyles.
Recently, Boyles got his idea for
the novel venture In considering the
possibilities of a pool 40 feet deep
in the solid rock in the bed of the
river and about 100 feet from the
point where the river comes out OF
the face of the glacier. eight feet
of the pool is water and 80 feet soft
sand. Paintings have shown con-
siderable gold and black sand in the
vicinity. Hence Boyles took as his
theory that much of the gold washed
out of the entire valley above the
pool had found lodgment in the 80
feet of sand of the pool.

LUMBER MEN
ARE LOOKING FOR
WESTERN TIMBER

''The high cost of living has not
struck this city yet," was the state
nent made today by George A.
Stephenson, who returned last even
ing from a thirty-day business visit
to Chicago, Milwaukee and Mime
apolis. Notwithstanding the high
prices, which are higher by 25 per
cent than they are in this city, the
people of the Middle West are en-
joying great prosperity. Everything
is going ahead at high speed and
everyone seems to have plenty of
money. The volume of travel on
every railroad is astounding, ard
from what gathered there is going
to be the greatest business in the
history of the nation"
What interested Mr.. Stephenson
even more than the high prices was
the fact that they are cutting up
81 logs back there 70 get thousand
feet of lumber. Out here the aver
age is four and half to five. ANY
thought CT leaving Klamath Falls
has vanished. l am back to stay
and become fixture here. Great
things are in store for Klamath
Falls, and the predictions of a great
city here are not idle talk. The
lumber men of the Middle West know
more about this county than the
Oldest of the old residents. and the
eyes of the biggest OF them are
turned this way"
