Sexton Uerudon Scared bran Upheaval
In a Crave.
Wolcott, N. Y., April 15. Rela
tives of those who have died in and
near the little hamlet of North Wol
cott, six miles north of here, recently
have had great difficulty in securing
anyone to dig graves, in some in
stances haviDg to do the work them
selves. Timothy Uerndon, a local charac
ter, has for many years officiated as
sexton aud grave digger. Late in
March he was engaged to dig the
grave of a young girl named Walters.
He set about his task about night
fall, and early in the evening was
observed still at work.
An hour later loud cries were
heard in the neighborhood, and
Herndon was observed running
ruadly for home and screaming wild,
ly. Arrived there,' he said that he
had encountered spirits near the
bottom of the grave, who had heaved
open the ground, thrown him down
and sought to bury him. A party
went to the graveyard, but could see
nothing.
In the morning, however, the
ground at the bottom was found
broken, and an investigation disclos
ed the fact that the digger had come
upon the winter home of a family of
woodchucks, whose struggles had
terrified him. llerndou and some
of his ignorant neighbors, however,
refused to believe this simple expla
nation, and will not go near the cem
etery under any circumstances.
The former's hair has changed
from a bright red to white from the
scare he underwent.
It May Do as Much for You.
Mr. Fred Miller, of Irving, 111.,
writes that he had a severe kidney
trouble for many years, with severe
paius in his back an.1 also that his
bladder was affected. He tried many
so called kulcey cures but without
auy good result. About a year ago
he begau use of Electric Bitters and
found relief at ouce. Electric Bitters
is especially adapted to cure of all
Kidney and Liver troubles and often
gives almost instant relief. One trial
