Campbellford, Ont, June 21.-- Frank Keating, Seymour Township farmer, whose home last winter har- bored the most terrifying ghost raised jin this section for years, hopes to make his fortune from the laying of the spectre. It has been definitely established that the pranks of escaping matural gas in the cellar caused the terrify- mg pounding under the floors, turn- ed the water unfit to drink, and created a scare which ended in an all-night vigil kept by Toronto news- papermen. Keating is now waiting word from oil. companies in. - the GHOSTLY NOISES LEAD CAMPBELLFORD FARMER TO DISCOVERY OF GAS United States, whose representatives visited the scene of the ghostly yis- itations late in the spring. He be- lieves oil men will return in the next day or two to take options on the farm. A representative of a Can- adian concern was to have been here on Friday, but was delayed. Keating believes that either oil or gas underlies his whole farm. At 'various points throughout the dis- trict gas has been tapped in small quantitics when wells were dug. Sul- phur is prevalent in the section and the well at the new high school pro- vides water most disagreeable to taste but which analysis report is mot igjurious to health, is FIRE COMPANIES MEET IN COBOURG Maple Leaf Mutual of Col. umbus Represented--Go to Lindsay Next Year Cobourg ,June 20--A meeting of a group of Mutual Fire Insurance Companies was held in the Council Chamber Cobourg, on Tuesday, The companies represented were The Maple ILeaf of Columbus, Hamilton Township of Cobourg, lennox and Addington of Napanee, Bay of Quinte of Picton and Farmers' Union of Lindsay. Mr. E. P. Heaton, Fire Marshal, was present and addressed the gath- ering. He referred to the great work Mutual Insurance Companies were doing through the province, in giv- ing adequate fire protection at a minimum cost. Mutual Companies carry 20 per cent of the insurance risk of the Province and although a substantial reduction was shown in the first loss during the past few years, he regretted that it could not be shown with respect to the busi- ness of the Mutual Companies. He gave the following information: -- Statistics showed that out of 841 barn fires during the last three years, lightning caused 269 or 32 per cent; spontancous combustion 193 or 23 per cent; lamps and gasoline 88 or 10 per cent; sparks on roofs and from threshing machines 88 or 10 per cent; incendiarism 34 or 4 per cent; smoking and matches 25 or 3 per cent; all other causes 154, or 18 per cent. Standard lightning rods are pro- ven to be 99 per cent efficient, and realizing this fact and the fact that lightning takes a heavy toll of farm barns each year, farmers should take advantage of this precaution against lightning, and by covering their build- ings with steel or other fire-proof roofing, they can thus eliminate 42 per cent. of the danger from fire. Mr. Hoskin, of Cobourg gave an interesting paper dealing with vari- ous insurance problems, followed by a paper by Mr. Alex Horn of Lind- say on the value of education in pre- venting fire losses. At the close of the meeting, Mr. Horn invited the delegates to hold their convention in Lindsay next June. The invitation was accepted. WEATHER Moderate winds, cloudy with occasional showers.

Chicago, Ill, June 20--In the belief that Virgil Litzinger, wanted for $133,000 mail robbery last February, at Evergreen Park, Suburb, was con- nected with the $100,000 mail robbery at Toronto, Deputy E. O'Connof of Chicago, has sent Litzinger's photo- graph to Canadian police, Evergreen Park gang leaders have been rounded up, but Litzinger dis- appeared without trace, despite search by federal, state, and city police. The Canadian train robbed was destined for Chicago. Postal inspec- tors here were not ordered to in- vestigate the robbery. After a still hunt by Chief of Po- lice Draper, Inspector of Detectives Guthrie, Inspector Wallace and their immediate subordinates, and the rank and file of the police department, since the daring depredation at the Union Station early yesterday morn- ing, when a Canadian National mail coach was held up by six armed thugs and robbed of cash to the amount of $124025 and thousands of dollars worth of registered mail, the net re- sult is that no trace of the despera- does has been found, nor has the large McLaughlin sedan which they employed in their affair beeg located. All that the police have to show for their trouble is the recovery of an almost new grey upholstered back seat and a new black club bag, which usually retails at $1.50.
