Ac cording to the Daily Mall, of that city, It Is haunted by spirits of some kind. When the mill shut down a short time ago two negro# by the name of Collins and Davis were employed to clean Up the machinery. They were at work on the second floor Thursday about 2 o’cloclTwhen, they say, their attention was attracted by steel bolts, nuts, bits of scrap iron, etc., falling aliout the room. They say t hey paid no ptrtirular attention to it at flrst ( but as the pieces of iron continued to fall about the room they decided some one was playing a joke on them and they commenced a search for the joker. They hunted all over the bnild- Ing, even opening {the sky light anrj going on the roof, hut could find no one. The missiles -continued to fall atK)ut the room, and then they began to get frightened. They reported the matter to Mr. J. II. Townsend, the president of the mill, and to his son, Mr. G. H. Town send. These gentlemen made an in vestigation, and while they were in vestigating several iron bolts and pieces of scrap iron frll about the room, apparently falling from the PENSION .MONEY. 111,027,700; North Dakota. 1,875. re ceiving 1235.850; Ne% Mexico. 1.755 < receiving 1203,850; Nevada, 282, re- How Much Of It Goat to Each of ^ cel sing 8520, lout Nebraska, li.OSO, re- the State-.
