black and sooty. All this, accord
ing to the testimony of Bernardo
who says: NO human hand could
ever do such a thing"
Since the farm became haunted,
Bernardo has lost most OF his milk
customers. Added to that misfor-
tune, the curious city people and
farmer neighbors tramped about
the little green house in such num-
bers as to create constant draft,
moving in and out OF the front
door. Rose, the infant OF seven
children, contracted pneumonia as
a result and is in a serious condi-
ton.
So critical did the situation be-
come that Bernardo summoned the
county sheriff to investigate noises
about the barn las If an engine had
been dropped through the roof"
Despite the fact that the sheriff
had three deputies. all heavily
armed, he could find no solution.
Now the heart-broken dairyman
vows he will be his own sheriff and
track down the cause. But he does
not know where to start, as he
declares he has no enemies.
Those who lean to the spiritual
side Of the manifestations point
out that John Jones. the former
owner Of the farm, hanged himself
in the barn when his son squan-
dered all Of the fathers $4,000 In
savings. They point again to the
fact that young married woman.

murdered near the place several
