However we do find the following old print ed tale: Klddler a Orcen la the A name of a spring- at the uinier end cf Clear Lake. and. beloie Uie dam wan put In.

He jumped and hit out for l.angell Valley, leaving his horaea and load of freight where thev were. Thla waa the atari ol the' ghost tales. The next day he returned, hitched up hla horaea and drove on lo Bly. He atopted there no more. ' "Pat Murphey herded a h e p there and tiled to camp lor the night. Alter ho went to bed some thing frightened Uie sheep and they rose Irom the bed ground and ran. the herder alter them.

So ho lelt Uio sheep and went awny. quilling his Job the next dny. He waa working lor Con ner, who look over the aheep nnd tried lo hold them over night at the camp near Uie apring. He thought hla herder waa nutty', but when Uie same Uilng happened to the bond the next night, he de cided the aheep nnd Uie dog -'saw things' and muved camp. "Jerry McCoy, hearing that Con ner had quit Hint part of tho coun try because It was haunted, moved his sheep nnd herder right In lo tnkc ndvnntiiKO of tho good leed.

"The reputation of Tiddler's Orren aeema lo be an accepted thing among old tuners, aome ol whom have had queer experiences at the springs, or who know a friend who has tried to remain over night and has failed." Herders aald that Uiey saw light ed lanterna approaching, but wlUi out a figure accompanying them; that the ghost aomellmcn went Inlo the old sptuig house and rattled pans; that all animals seem to "sense something'1 and nro afraid of the region at night. The place wna not culled Fiddler's Orcen In earlier days, that being later npiKlutlon; and all truces of Uie old buildings are now gone. An acquaintance of ours wna on Uie norlli shore of the lake one atternoon. a number ol years ago. The channel la narrow there and, being a good swUnmer. ahe de cided to swim across lo the oUier shore. Blio rolled up her dress and put It Inside of her hat which site wore on her head in crossing. As alio came out of the water and clambered up Uie low, sleep bank, aha aaw an Irish aheepherder. He turned nnd hla startled gate met hers. Perhaps her brief attire em barrassed him lur he turned away, and, sensing his presumed em barrassment, ahe lifted her hat and dropped her dress down over her shoulders. When he looked again to assure himself that his eyea had not deceived him, that Uiere really was a woman stand ing where an Instant before there hud been nothing but mile upon mile of unlnhnblted space, he now anw ft woman fully clolhed. First, noUiing but miles ol emp ty shoreline, Uie next instant a scantily-clad woman, replaced In a matter of seconds by a fully cloUied onel Hie ghost of Clear Lake! I It was too much for his superstitious mind nnd he took to Ills heels. Hie last ahe saw of him. he was Mill running, and Uiey sny he never came back. A friend of ours decided to put the ghost story to a test to tie. his small aon nnd his dog mnde camp there one night, sleeping In Uie open by the side of his car. nenr the spring. Sure enough, sometime In Uie middle of the night he waa nwakened by a scream. The dog disappeared Into the darkness, our friend n'ler It with a flashlight, only to find a treed wildcat. After the rumpus was over ho relumed to bed and they agmn settled down to sleep. He nwoke about daylight and. remembering Uio purpose of the expedition, he rnlsed hla head and glanced hastily nround. A white, ghostly figure wna standing by Uie water's edge or bathing In the shallow wnter of the Inke. He says It surely looked like ft woman to him but ns our friend Is not of the senrey type In fact sort of scientific resenrch cuss he slipped from his covera and soil ly, slowly approached Uio lake.
