Near Ed Paulson’s farm in Frohn township stands an old cabin which, as far as neighbors knew, has been uninhabited for the past several years.

The countryside ' was aroused and within a few more nights a couple df Frohn’s time-honored citizens took it upon themselves to enter the cabin and investigate the cause of the meandering light, which resembled a huge ball of fire. Reports are-that these two intruders into the realms of ‘“ghostdom” were thrown out of the cabin bodily.
