  1. (continued from previous page)
    One summer evening about nine o'clock the farmer went for a walk out around the fields. When he came up to the fort, he heard people singing and dancing and shouting. He went in and there he saw a crowd of people singing and dancing. Among the crowd he saw his own sister, who had died a few months before.
    When the man saw this, he turned around and was going out again when six men came around him and asked him to come in and join in the fun they were having. The man said he could not because he was in an awful hurry home because it was very late.
