        EVANSTON'S GHOST WILL WALK NO MORE
        ----------------------------------
        
        That Perambulating Midnight Terror Is at Last
          Ambushed and Unmasked.
          
        Evanston's ghost has been captured. He was ambushed after
      midnight Friday morning near his favorite stretch of sand,
      and, with the mask off, he answers to the name of W. P. KAY,
      the wag of the lifesaving crew. R. C. LIBBERTON and W. L.
      WILSON were coconspirators. Seven men of the station agreed
      to run down his ghostship and one of the party was armed. He
      dodged them once, but reappeared. When they approached near
      enough to see the bravest of his assailants drew back with
      cries of terror. The ghost had a long, thin, scraggy beard,
      which covered his face. In one hand he carried a four-tined
      pitchfork and in the other held a bright blade. It was at
      this point that one of the ghost hunters drew his revolver
      and began to fire point blank at the apparition. It turned
      and fled precipitately up the shore. Again pursued he at
      last turned about and exclaimed: "Gentlemen, you have seen
      the last act!" and, pulling off his mask, revealed the face
      of W. P. KAY.  VAN DOOZER and SPRINGER wanted to duck KAY
      in the lake, but wiser council prevailed.
