"Buried Alive" By FLOYD GIBB0N8 , Famous Headline Hunter. ' you like to be buried alive? Wouldn't like it? Neither HOW would I. Frederick P. Hallissey didn't care much about it either; but he was buried alive, and thereby hangs this tale. Yes, sir, boys and girls, Fred was laid out in a coffin and buried under six feet of earth for one hundred and twenty-fou- r hours ! And the funny part was that Fred wasn't dead and nobody even thought he was dead. He was just dead broke, In Quincy, 111., in the fall of 1932, and when a showman offered him a job ns leading man in a "Burled Alive" act Fred Jumped at the chance to pick up a little easy money. But it wasn't to easy, and Fred came so near staying in his gravs that it wasn't funny either. Here's what happened: Fred got the Job when the original "living corpse" refused to fo through with his contract. The act was billed to commence that very night, so Fred didn't even have time to rehearse. He says he visited a few stores to get a suitable outfit for the grave occasion and landed out at the grounds just In time to be interred. No Danger in Being Buried Alive. assured Fred that there really wasn't any danger, but Fred The showman says the signs all over town advertising the act made him understand why the other man quit. Those signs were pretty ghastly. One big sign, which stood ri'lit beside an open grave at the grounds, almost made him quit The flgl read : . MAN BURIED ALIVE! . 8EE HIM! SPEAK TO HIM!, HEAR HIM! Meanwhile, a big crowd had gathered, and at 8:15 p. m. promptly as advertised Fred removed his shoes, lay down In the coffin-Ilk- a box and allowed them to screw the lid down. The bos, Fred says, was a "trifle confining," but otherwise comfortable. It had a square hole cut in the top above his face, which connected up with a seveut-foo- t shaft for ventilation. The shaft was divided "one-hal- f for frrint for the customers to and the other for exhaling," and also served as a peek-hol- e . , peer down. He also had an electric light, a fan, bedding and a pillow. Food was lowered to him through the shaft In a small pail. Things might have been worse, Rett Ill III III HI III lil HOME EC.

BOY AWARDED UNION PACIFIC SCHOLARSHIP. s Boyd K. Iverson, 18, a son of G. A.

And on the fourth night it rained. Most Corpses Have No Fear of Rain. Now I don't suppose rain bothers many people in their graves, but it sure raised the dickens with Fred. First, the watchman called down the shaft that he was going to take shelter In the barn. He placed an umbrella over the opening and went away. Fred went to sleep. Some time later Fred awoke suddenly to find to his horror that he lay In two Inches of water, and more water was seeping slowly through the sides of his coffin. Fred says he screamed with terror, but only the sound of the driving rain above answered his cries the watchman was still away and Fred realized with a sinking heart that at the rate the water was entering the box he would soon be drowned like a rat in a trap. v.

He screamed, prayed and His thoughts, he says, kicked at the grim lid above him savagely, but the water continued to drip In, slowly but surely relentless as Death itself. Fred says that the last words of the showman, as they placed him in the box, came back to him. "If anything happens to you," he had said, "we'll Just close the Shaft and put up a cross!" If he had only known how prophetic those words were to be! Fred kept on yelling and. praying until his voice grew hoarse as a whisper, and then he lay back exhausted and waited for the end.
