FLAMING CROSS
Weird Scene Witnessed
Also by Others Return
ing From Hammond.

CROWN POINT. IND, Dec 2s--
That garage men from the county
seat saw a flaming cross on the
scherervlle road Is alleged in the
following story from the Lake Coun-
ty Star:
Ben C1ausser, OF the Claussen
Brothers Main Garage on West Joliet

a man stating that hts car was in
the ditch about four miles northwest
OF this city on the Crown Point
schererville road. Claussen respon
ded Immediately, and about midnight
had the garage trouble-car at the
scene ready 10 lend any assistance
that might be necessary. Just as he
had completed the task OF getting
the car out of the ditch he looked
around and to his anazement saw
a flaming cross which he estimates
was thirty feet high burning vividly
in a field near by. No evidence OF
human being or human agency that
could have set fre to the cross was
visible. and C1aussen and his COM
panion began to feel a bit spooky.
About the time the wooden cross was
burning at its height. Sydney Aims
worth happened along in his automo-
bile. returning from 4 trip TO Ham
rnond, and the well known taxi man
witnessed the weird spectacle They
spent no unnecessary amount of time
in the vicinity, but hurried to Crown
Point to tell the tale Of the unusual
occurrence. To verify their story
several Crown Pointers went out TO
the scene the following morning and
discovered the remains Of the con-
fagration. The cross had been con
structed two new two by rours nail
ed together. and around the wood
had been wrapped two or three in
ches OF cotton. this being fastened by
wire being wrapped around the tim
bers. Only the stub end of the i'm
provised cross remained, but the
men brought pieces OF it to Crown
Point in order 10 verify their story.
Nearby was gallon glass jar which
had contained the gasoline which had
been poured over the cross. Also a
long FISH pole was in evidence. US
ed by the person to ignite the in
aamablo material.
