Hearing so much of the alleged spirit,
a company of young men accompanied
by a newspaper correspondent, went to
the station the other night and the pre-
vious night for the purpose of jnvestl-
gating the matter
On the first night they sat near the

Reaching the station early io the

themselves as was satisfactory. wheu
one of the boys raised his hand and
eried: “Hist.”
They all looked and saw the ghost—
\be ghost they had been told about—
headless and carrying a dinner pall. It
was no delusion of the eyesight It was
the real. clear outline of Columbus Cole
as they had known him io life and the
same eternal dinper pail. For five min-
utes or more they watched the appan-
tion as the arms sWung as if signalinga
train. and then, spurred on by one unit-
ed impulse, they rushed to the place
where they had scen the figure Noth-
ing but vacancy greeted them when they
reached the spot where the figure had
been seen. Cole's .pirit had entirely dis-
appeared and they s‘ood and looked at
pach other In silence, marveling at the
supernatural incident and no longer
skeptics, but bellevers.
Unstrung from the shock of the mani-
festation—totally unexpected. by the
way—they walked home in silence, firma
adherents of the ghost theory.
Some of the good people who live in
the neighborhood of Flaherty are anx-
{ous to do something to set the spirit at
rest. They say that something Is
troubling it The generally accepted
theory Is that Cole wanted 10 do some
thing before he died—that the sOme-
thing remalos undone and that the
spirit will continue to wander until it
comes in contact with a sympathetic
spirit clothed in worldly clay to which
it can communicate its desires,
Columbus Cole was a well-known and
popular resident of the vicinity of Fiah-
erty. who lost bis life years ago in a
boiler explosion. The top of his head
was completely blown off by the accl-
dent. Soon after he died the trouble
with the ghost began and the people
have come to look at it fu a matter of-
fact manner. They do not deny the
story. They have got beyond that point
and many interesting incidents are re-
lated of the ghost's history
Flaherty people swear by their
“ghost.” It Is an Interesting ghost and
{t 1s more powerful In keeping the old
and young within doors than all the
curfews that ever sounded from city hall
or church steeple. There Is hardly a
man living within three miles of Fiah-
erty station who cannot entertain one
for hours with stories of the ghost's do-
fnks. Meanwhile the people are anx-
tous to locate the kindred spirit garbed
with a human body to which the shade
of Columbus Cole will tell {ts troubles.
