Show A STRANGE KENTUCKY TALE. A Remarkable Transformation In th Grave Reported From Fleming County. A Vanceburg correspondent sends out this remarkable story: "Dr. C. H. Dyer, who lived in Fleming county, near the Lewis county line, and who was well known throughout this section of the state as a very noted root and herb doctor, doc-tor, died some six weeks ago and was buried at his home near Muse Mills, Fleming county. A few days ago a pack of hungry dogs were discovered digging with might and main in the doctor's grave. They were driven away, but returned re-turned as soon as the men left and resumed re-sumed their digging and howling. "The friends of the deceased doctor, becoming anxious to know jnst what the dogs were after, concluded to take the body up. They did so, but what was their astonishment when on opening the coffin they found not the body of the venerable doctor, but a 200 pound hog nicely rolled up in a winding sheet, wait ing for Gabriel to toot his horn, when he would walk out and claim the doctor's share in the glories that await him at the final resurrection of the just. The conclusion con-clusion of the natives as to how this transformation came about is that as the doctor was not above suspicion from a moral standpoint the Lord had changed his mortal remains into those of a hog. The case is a very remarkable one vipw-ed vipw-ed from any Standpoint." Louwville Courier-Journal. |
