ENOC.n JONES' SPIRIT
BELIEVED TO HOVER
over OLD CHAPEL
Many In Washington County Think
Ghost Protects Tomb From VAN

rounds Boys Death. -. -. -.

Eagerstown, Md, Dec. 11-Does
the spirit OF Enoch Jones hover
about the chapel he built at Kemp's
Mill 90 years ago and in which his
body is now reposing and guard 1t
against destruction by the elements
of descration by human vandals?
Many contend that it does and for
proof CT their statements point to
series OF disasters which befell
man who tore down portion of the
brick wall surrounding the church
ward to to fact that in 1916 a hail
storm which left chaos nits wake
passed within a few feet OF the
church without so much as disturb
ing stone.
Church Is Unused
The old country church is unused
now. 1t stands lonely and forebod-
ing. The vault is built in the ground
below the church and is accessible
by means of narrow trapdoor
Jones body is resting in an .old-style
open coffin. The clutching hands
are crossed. One other body is bur-
led in the strange tomb, that OF Emre
Neal, a nephew of Jones. He is
buried in a grave dug in the floor
ing of the vault. Old residents tell
of q peculiar incident in connection
with his burial in the tomb.
While Jones was at work on the
tomb his nephew sat on nearby
post eagerly watching the operation.
Let me be buried there" he is said
to have asked his uncle, indicating
place over which the tomb was being
erected. His uncle agreed. Three
weeks later the boy died and was
buried as he had requested. No one
remembers how he died, but the old
Ell residents said that everyone at
that time spoke of his death as
queer" and many strange tales as
to the manner in which he met MS
death were related.
Directed Holding Of Services
Records at the Courthouse show
that the will of Jones contained
paragraph directing that $500 OF his
money be placed en- interest and that
the interest be given &c ministers OF
any denomination who would agree
to conduct regular services at the
chapel. There is no record OF the
services having been held.
The building is at present owned
by J. A. Barnes who owns the Jones
farm. Mr.. Barnes, while declining
to say whether ne credits the story
told of the old chapel, is careful not
to allow anyone to desecrate the

BRING BIG BELT



in his opinion Carpenter doesn't be-
long in the heavyweight class.
Carpenter is fine boxer, fast and
clever and game. But he's not big
enough for Dempsey, altho he made a
game showing
would Willard seek a battle with
Carpenter after the second session
with Dempsey? Willard rather thought
not.
I'm too heavy for him. Carpen-
Doesn't Look 81.
Willard doesn't indicate thru look
or action that he has reached his 37th
year. His big boyish manners conceal
the wallop in the hamIike hands and
the terrible power behind the massive
shoulders. He doesn't look to be just
the style of fighting man to regain
the world fight crown-except in the
weight and visible strength. But he
spent a few moments in the ring with
Dempsey one hot afternoon two sum-
mers ago. And wiser because of that
meeting he is more confident than
ever that he is the better of the two
men.
1--WE had hundreds of letters from
men all over the country wanting me
to fight Dempsey again. he said. "And
if I can have four or five months in
which to get ready I am coming back
to Kansas with the championship.
That's barring accidents which may
overtake anyone. But in straight box
ing and fighting I have every conf
dence I can beat Dempsey this time"
Kansas hopes so!

BOY SCOUT ORDERS GROW
Total of 52s, 119 Members in America,
Reports Show.

The Boy Scouts Of America has at
the present time more members than
it has ever had since its organization
eleven years ago, according to a recent
report of the membership committee.
The organization numbers 628,119
men and boys in active scout work.
This number is greater than the total
number of members of scout orga MIA
tons in all other parts of the world.
according to figures lately compiled
by the International Scout Bureau at
London. The total membership of all
other countries associated with the
International bureau of scouting is
46O,0S9.
There are several active scout or
CARNATIONS which are not affiliated
as yet with the international bureau,
consequently their membership rec
ords are not known. The countries
in which there are unaffiliated scout
organizations are: Argentina, Brazil,
Chile, China, Greece, Japan, Panama,
Roumania and Uruguay. These coun-
tries are expected to become asso-
ciated with the International Bureau
of Boy Scouts in a very short time.
