Well, that's what tho Pecaricks now
say of the house on Punchbowl from
which they are today moving, after
having been the main attractions of a
few day's visitation by hundreds of cu
rious people who wanted to see the
chosts alleged to have turned things
topsy-turvy on Sunday.
' The Pecaricks declare that they
were buncoed by the previous tenants
of the old Boyd premises, for that the
previous tenants knew very well that
the house was haunted and unkindly
neglected, to inform the Pecaricks that
such was the c;tse.
Now tho Pecaricks say that the
neighbors are telling of ghostly things
that happened in the house before they
became occupants about a month ago,
They say that one night when their
predecessors wero endeavoring to
slumber, a hand, ' without ' the usual
body attachment, stretched out and
wrench open the fastened shutters, and
at the same moment all tho windows
and doors of the house flew open.
On another night, they say, a young
ladv's shoes walked out from under
her bed and walked around tho honsa,
klckinc tho furniture, taking a run
down the road and finally returning
to their position under the bed.
That's what tho Pecaricks say, but
a wagon-ioau oi sail snouiu go wuu
every statement.
One thing Is very definitely statea
this morning by both Mr. and Mrs.
Pecarick, and that is that Esperanza,
tho comely Spanish girl Is not a me
dium, nor is she in any way respon
sible directly or Indirectly for Sun
day's psychic circus.
They say all blame must bo attach
ed to the house. This doesn't hitch
at all with their first statement thav
Esperanza was tho spirits' agent.
Esperanza's father is In the hospital;
her mother Is Just recovering from a
sickness and Esperanza, thirteen year's
of age, Is the sole suport of the fam
ily, says her mother.
Now Esperanza Is out of a job be
cause people aro saying that she Is a
medium, whereas sho is not. Her mo
ther Is sore distressed and loudly de
clares tho girl should never have been
held responsible, and tho mother is
probably right.

OF T. R.

Charles M. Cooke, when tho special
business for which the Chamber of
Commerco had ben called this
morning was concluded, stated
that slnco their last meeting Thomas
Rain Walker, 'an honored presiding of

formerly,- had departed this life. It
was fitting that somo appropriate ex
pregfilon of their regret should bo
placed on record. Ho moved that tho

The case of the Territory vs. Blan

Acta In relation to adultery. Acting
Attorney General W. L. Whitney ap

, In making his argument Judge Hum

fore the matter was covered by tho
Federal law tho various States and
Territories each had their own laws on
tho subject, but when the bankruptcy
law was passed by Congress, it mado
inoperative tho state and Territorial
laws on tho subject. Tho samo argu
ment ho claimed also was good In tho
case of tho lntor-stato commerco law.
That Congress has the right to
make many laws was not denied, but
acknowledged with tho fact that often
this power was allowed to Ho dormant,
but when Congress did tako action and
passed an act on a specific subject,
then that would overrule and render
Inoperative tho Territorial laws on tho
