A Ghostly Rider

Who Has a Penchant fpr Riding over High Railroad Bridges

Washtenaw county evidently has a ghost who drives a horse and buggy and has a penchant for riding on railroads and crossing high railroad bridges with the rig, the horse safely stepping from tie to tie. If such a ghost does not exist the same brand of liquor must be drank today as percolated down a thirsty throat about eight years ago. A Dexter dispatch to last night's Detroit Evening New says:

"The Michigan Central railroad switchman saw a man driving a horse and buggy turn from C street and go east on the railroad track at a lively gait. The section men were routed from their warm beds and started in pursuit, and the operator at Delhi ordered to notify trains bound west to look out for them.

"By following the tracks it was found they passed over the railroad bridge at Scio safely, although the covering of the bridge was of ties about a foot apart, and had left, the track at the first crossing, but no further trace could be had, and the question that is puzzling people here is: 'Who was it?'"

This same story or one exceedingly like it was told about eight years ago and that time carne from Delhi. That ghost seems still to be taking ghostly rieles at long intervals.
