Encounter With a Ghost.
(Per Press Association) Adelaide, May 30. A man named Rudd has paid rather dearly for playing the ghost. While a peaceably-disposed citizen was wending his way past a cemetery, a figure clad in white garments emerged from the burial-ground and in sepulchral tones said : " Thomas Meddall, I claim you 1" Meddall was willing to be claimed, and invited the ghost to take him, and struck him with a stick. The ghost closed, but Meddall disarranged the sheet, and identified Rudd. The Magistrate charged the latter £4 5s for the freak.
