sJJere is the Leeds devil turned ]
ap aoain sure,” exclaimed an old |
rosident ot Burlington county,
New Jersey, looking up in aston—
ishment from a local paper he was
veading, This paragraph caused
the exclamation:
¢ Something mew in the
bird line was seen by F B Phelps,
of Mulberry, N. C. It has the
head of the owl, with tremendous
black eves. Its face looked like a
moukev’s,with white cheeks and a
black streak over each eye, the
rest of the head inclined to gray,
with black dots near the end of
each feather. The body was cov
ered with a beautiful plumage.
Whenever he went near it it
would give an unearthiy yell that
frightened the dogs It whipped
out every dez on the place s
“That thine,” said the Colonel,
¢tjg not & bird vor an animal, but
it is the Leeds devil, according to
the description, and it was born
over in Evssham,Burlington eoun
ty, a hundred years ago, There
is no mistake ahout it I never
gaw the Lorrible erifter, but I can
remember well when it was roam
ing around fifty years ago, and
when it was hunted by men and
doge, and shot at by the bhest
merksmen in all of South Jersey,
DAWSOXN, GA,, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER, 19, 1887.
but eould not 1e killed. There is
not a family in Burliagton or any
of the adjoining counties that does
not know of the Teods devil. I‘
liave been frizhtened cut of many
a piece of boyish mischief myselt
by being reminded ot the dreaded
creature, and I believe it comes in
handy to this day for the same
purpose in some parts of Barling
ton connty. But it has not heen
seen or Leard in those parts for it~
ty years, and it was long ago
thought to have died. And to
think that the frightfal thing is
living! This will make & sensas
tion in Burlinzton, and people will
berin to lay awake wvights acain
expacting to hear the unearthly
vell agaln that made the biond of
past renerations ran colde Where
aid the Leeds devil come from?
I can only tell you the story as it
had been handed down for a centas
vy in Burlington county. Yon
mav not believe it, but you will
have to walk a geod ways into that
rezion before you find any one
who doubts it.
“Just after the revoluntary war
a voung man named Leeds, who
lived in Evasham and was wells
known in all that part of the coun
try, married a respectable but ha
rum-searum girl, who was the life
of all the corn-huskings, pariag
bees, dances and rustic merry
makings. She had a temper of
her own, as the stories go, and af
ter marriage refused to settle down
to domesticity, but insisted in
ali the cay doiags of the region as
she had done ss a girl, in spite of.
her hushand's protests Yhen she
found she was to he a mother she
beeame absolutely wicked in ler
complaints and regrets over having
married, and led her husband a
terrible life. The night before she
hecame a mother she was particu
larly violent. The grand-daught
er of the woman who used to he
Mre, Leeds’ nurse is still living in
Burlington county, and she says
that what Tam going to tell you
has been handed down in the fami
ly straght and without a change
or addition. This woman’s grand
mother’s story was that that night
virs. Leeds raised her hands above
her he d and shrieked: “I hope
it will be a devil."
“The next nizht the nurse ap
peared at her own house in great
terror. ‘Mrs. Leeds is a mother,’
she exclaimed, ‘but her off-spring
was a hideous deformity and flew
up and out of the chimney, shrik«
ing and screaming as it went.
This strange story c.eated a sensas
tion among the old-time residents
of Evasham, It was not believed,
of course, but the suepicion came
genefal that Vrs. Leeds’ child had
been made way.wil,h. and that the
extravagant story was tald by the
nurse to divert suspicion. A few
days afterwards, however, a man
who had been hunting reported
having seén a hideous ereature
which had frightened him away by
ils shrieks. s deseription tallied
with the one the Leeds nurse had
given. The strange creature ap
peared to others from t'me to time
and the deseription given of it was
exaetly like this one of the queer
thines that has been discovered at
Mulberry, N. €. The nurse’s sto
ry was believed then and the
‘Leeds devil’ baeame the tere
ror of the region. It was hunted
for many years, but it seemed to
possess a charmed life. Siiver bul
lets, which wer2 sail to be potent
arainst bewitched things, were firs
clatit, but they had ue effect.
The last time it was seen or heard
o’ was over fi‘ty years’ azo. The
Story don'’t seemn th tell what be
came of Mr and Mrs. Leseds, but
every chill ia Evasham can tell
vou all about the Leeds devil. Tl
