Church Making
Investigation
Of Disturbances
By Paul Dix
(United Prow StIf CurroipondenO
Lively Grove, 111., June 28 I1'J
A Roman Catholic priest said to
day that "disturbances" at a ram
shackle farm home here appar
ently were "spirit manifesta
tions." .
But the Rev. Edward Dahmus,
theologian and parish priest of
nearby St. Libory, said details of
his investigation into the weird
occurrences at the home of farm
er Tony Greten would be kept
secret for the time being.
Father Dahmus was assigned
by Bishop Albert Zuroweste of
Belleville to investigate the case
officially for the Catholic church.
"The manifestations that have
been published so far have been
Insignificant," Father Dahmus
said. "At this time we have no
physical explanation for them."
"Another priest, also engaged
In the inquiry, said the occur
rences were "preternatural but
we don't know yet if the agent
is benign or diabolical."
The dictionary defines a "pre
ternatural" occurrence as some
thing unexplainable and appar
ently beyond the reach of nature.
It is not necessarily "super
natural"; that is, caused by a
divine or spiritual will.
. - The bishop's office at Belleville
would confirm only that the- in
quiry was underway. But a
source close to the chancery said
it was taking "an extremely criti
cal view" In order to have a com
plete and objective report on the
affair.
The reported manifestations
have taken the form of "spirit
writing," loud and ghostly rap
pings, and the throwing of ob
jects about the rooms of the five-
room frame farmhoxise.
Father Dahmus said he be
lieved the occurrences, which be-
can on May 1,: ended about
week ago. Before that, he said,
they took place on every night
but June 5, Pemtccost Sunday,
which celebrates the descent of
the Holy Spirit ' to earth after
Easter. j
The Greten home is in a lonely
section, standing amid Grcten's
100 or so acres of land. The house
is enuipped with electricity but
has no modern plumbing. The
paint is peeling off its walls, but
the land Is rich and Greten Is
considered moderately well-fixed
financially.
The nearest neighbor lives in
another farmhouse 300 yards
away.
The community Is largely Cath
olic. Gretcn's neighbors generally
were skeptical of the reports but
unanimous in describing the fam
ily, as "sober and responsible
people."
DOG CONK, TOO
Seattle, June 28 iui As a
watchdog, Suzy apparently is a
flop.
The wire-haired terrier owned
by Phyllis Martin of Seattle, did
not let out a single bark when
burglars ransacked the Martin
home Saturday night. As a mat
ter of fact, she may be part of
the loot.
Suzy, and $100 worth of jewel
ry were missing today.

hagen (center) leaves the exclusive Edgewater Beach Hotel in Chicago
after re-enacting the shooting of Eddie Waltkus, first baseman for
the Philadelphia Phillies. The 19-year-old typist explained she had
planned the shooting for two years because "I was infatuated wltn
him and wanted the thrill of murdering him." '

Dry Weather
Hits Hay Crop
Prinoville, June 28 Prospects
that Willamette valley feed deal
ers may obtain a supply of hay
from Central Oregon this season
are slim, it was revealed here Sat
urday by Cecil McKenzie of the
Crook county agricultural conser
vation committee. McKenzie cites
that the past winter's record cold
resulted in most ranchers utiliz
ing their entire surplus of hay.
Indeed many stockmen, declared
to "have been spoiled" by preced
ing years of mild winters, were
caught without sufficient hay.
The Gill Cattle Co. and other
large operators bought all the
available surplus hay they could
find throughout the area and
shipped in quantities.

Drevailed in this area for the first
six months of .1949, during which

In yield of hay fields. Ranchers
of the district, McKenzie believes,
will utilize all their available hay
for-building up their own surplus
this year.
Local observers also declare
that the drouth will result In a
heavy cut in dryland wheat pro
duction, not only in Crook county
but in eastern Jefferson county,
in the Ashwood and Grizzly dis
tricts, this season. Some observ
ers say they expect the volume of
dryland wheat will be cut 50 per
cent this season.
