THREE DEATHS FROM QUARREL.
CAZENOVIA’S GIANT GHOST.
Big Apparition, Strangely Appareled,
Glides About Creating Terror.
Cazenovia, N. Y., Dec. 24.—A per
sonage, whether a man or a woman no
one can tell, but described by the su
perstitious as a ghost, has frightened
the residents of this place for a week.
Some of the women and children have
gone into hysterics by the mere recital
of the antics of the supposed ghost.
The apparition, so called, is thought
by the more conservative to be some
demented person of huge height and
girth, it was pursued a few nights
ago through a vacant lot by three men
when it suddenly and mysteriously dis
appeared. It is said to display a long
rusty knife and a revolver. Its favor
ite haunt is the railway station and
the old skating rink. The object hides
between buildings and under lofty elms
for which Cazenovia is noted.
Its head is described as inclosed in
a white hood, v/hich terminates In a
point and sways back and forth as
the ghost glides over the ground. All
plans to catch it have failed and there
is no peace in town.
Ducktown, Tenn., Scene of Family
Tragedy.
Knoxville, Tenn., Dec. 24.—Three
deaths will be the result of the shoot
ing of Dave Payne near Ducktown,
Tenn.
Payne was a fugitive from justice,
having broken jail at Benton, Tenn.,
while charged with murder. Payne’s
wife, who was seriously ill, sent a mes
senger for her husband to come in
from his mountain hiding place and see
her.
The messenger sent was Payne’s
brother. When within 2 miles of Duck
town they had a dispute over the pos
session of a gun and fell to fighting.
William Flannigan, while trying to
separate the men, was shot in the ab
domen by Dave Payne, who in turn
was killed by Flannigan.
Payne’s sick wife died shortly after
being told of her husband’s death.
Flannigan cannot recover.

Under the Falling Walls.
_ San Antonio, Tex., Dec. 23.—News
has just reached here of a terrible
fire in the city of Zacatecas, in the

was in the principal market building
owned by the city. The lower part
of the building contained a large num

for city consumption.
The fire broke out in these cellars
and when discovered had made con
siderable headway. In order to save
as much of the meat stored in the cel
lars as possible a large force of men
were ordered by the authorities into
the burning structure and while this
force was working the flames burned
their way to the top of the market,
completely enveloping it. The fire de
partment was unable to check the
progress of the fire, and after burning
several hours the building collapsed,

Tallahassee, Fla., Dec. 21.—The sto

Grand Trunk Railroad company was
not true. The Tallahassee Southeast
