SEEK TO SOLVE GHOST MYSTERY Keating Determined to Find Cause of 'Spooks" 'in House Peterboro, Jan, 16.--George Gaul, ghost hunter and spectre detective, who lives with his wife and family on Elm street, Peter- boro, today declarea tust he will Investigate the Seymour ghost case. He has laid hundreds of ghosts in Scotland and Canada, he says, and claims that the spectre that is troubling the Keating household will give him no bother, Person- ally, he does not believe in ghosts. Mr, and Mrs, 'Frank Keating, interviewed this evening, are hope- ful that something will be done to bring peace to their home on the Eighth Concession of Seymour Township, They have been troubled by rappings and ghostly parades for months, and have . recently been compelled to vacate the east side of their house in order to get quietness enough to sleep, It is in the east half that the ghostly walkings take place, Keating bought the farm, which is two miles from Campbellford, In April last year, It is understood that the purchase price was $6,000, of which he paid $3,000 cash, To the $38,000 mortgage, it is under- stood, there has now been added a $1,000 mortgage. The farm com- prises 111 acres, including some marsh, on the surface of which oil appears regularly. The housé is in a bad state of repair, having crack- ed walls that are not helped any by the mysterious holes said to have been bored by the ghost, Kenting has invited a party to git in the house tonight in an ef- Those | fort to catch the ghost, though he does not expect it will again appear until the first week in February. While it has no exact schedule, it has been paying irregular calls about the first week of the month. Digs Into Cellar Some time ago, when the noises became particularly violent, Keat- ing dug into the wall under an unexcavated part of the cellar in the hope of uncovering an explana- tion of the sounds, He found some ashes and a few pieces of board, but paid no attention to these. It however, that these ashes are probably the re- mains of a rough box in which the victim of an accident was buried, The body was later exhumed and burjed fn a pteel-covered . casket, and the rough box was used gs fuel at the Keating homestead, the ashes being thrown into the cellar, It is directly over the place where these. ashes lie that the sounds oceur, Starting there, trey travel along the roof of the cellar to the stairs, clank up the stairs, through pend two rooms, and pass out of hearing on the third or fourth step leading to the second story. The remainder of the box, not burned, was used 'to crate chickens op their being Dog Dislikes Cellar A curious festure is the unwill- ingness of the friendly little collie dog to enter the cellar, He used to make his bed there, but all ef- forts to make him enter the base- ment now call forth growls and snarls. Today he refused even to approach the cellar door, and on entering the living-room he skip- ped past the cellar door in 8 hurry. lif i oF 3 £ ! £ | b X i 3 3] i BE: eds i ; 11S HONORED BY STAFF OF THE TOMI BANK C.

The local police department have for some time been receiving complaints regarding the nuisance of many motorists, particularly some working in the various Gen- neral Motors plants, parking in such a manner that streets were blocked, in some cases for two or three blocks. For some weeks ef- forts were made to eliminate the trouble by issuing warnings. Warning posters were placed in of- fending cars ; verbal warnings were given by police constables; notices were posted on time clocks in the General Motors plants, and the company gave full co-opera- tion in assisting the police offic- ers, and urging the men to use the parking space supplied them by the company. But because they would have a two or three minutes' walk from this parking space to where they were working many men left the warnings un- heeded, and last week a number of summonses were issued by the local department. Eight men ap- peared this morning, and four oth- ers have also been fined the same amount, $1 and costs of $5.50, be- cause they did mot believe in signs, #8 we are informed by the Chief of Police. The men who have paid fines for this offence are Alden Ridgen, James Jackson, Cecil Ford, Har- old Sparks, Howard Davidson, Thomas Johansen, J. H. Heard, Philip Boko, Alfred Cotie, Daniel Vallters, Blake Cheeseboro and Harry Stewart, In commenting on these cases from the bench, Magistraté Hind told the convicted motorists that they would be much better, physi- cally and financially, if they were not afraid to walk for even short distances. He saw no reason in the excuse of one of the men that the parking ground was five min- utes' walk from his plant, or in that of another that he had park- ed on these streets to get close to his work, and who lived only ten minutes' walk * from the factory. He warped these men' that they had no business parking before any house if'they had no business with the occupants of that dwell- ing, and cited instances where a doctor has had to walk a block on these streets in an emergency, when he could pot park mear the bouse he was visiting. Milkmen and visitors heve to park some- times two blocks sway because of employees parking their cars on certain streets of the town, and this was no going to be allowed longer.

A heavy guard was being maintained about te jail in the fear that when factory shifts came off duty in the morning a new mob might replace the one dissipated tonight. The gathering refused to believe that Hotelling had been spirited out of the city early tonight, even after a committee from their ranks had been permitted to inspect the jail.
