BURNT OFFERING TO CHASE DEVILS Peculiar Case Investigated by Police Near Bluevale — Hogs are Sacrificed —Nurse Arrested as Being Insane and Dangerous. A sacrifice of 10 hogs as a burnt offering to drive out devils, respons- ible for the illness of Mrs. Earl Under- wood, living on a farm near .Bluevale, has aroused this district to a high pitch of excitement. The matter was reported to the crown and after an in- vestigation by Provincial Officer Pltip- pen, of Wingham. Anna Reynolds, •a nurse, said to be from Toronto, was placed under larrest on a charge of being Insane and dangerous to be at large. Underwood is said to have obtained the services of the Reynolds woman several weeks ago to attend his wile, who was confined. The baby was horn about three weeks ago, it is said, without •the presence of a doctor. According to information given' the police the Reynolds woman, who is said to belong to a sect known as the Faith of the Holy Light, with a tabernacle in Toronto, instructed. Underwood on Thursday to take a rifle and kill to hogs. He did as he was instructed, killing 10 swipe which would average in weight about 120 pounds each. HUGE PYRE These were then drawn back into a field about 20o yards from the barn and a huge pyre was bullt on which the animals were 'piled for the sacri- fice. The fire was lighted and the huge space banked in with earth. The fires were burned 'continually, it is said, for three days and the odor of roasting meat could be smelled for a distance' of more than a mile. When Underwood was questioned as to why the pigs were killed and burned he said that (he did lit because the nurse told him to and he admitted that lie would do anything that she told him. Constable Phippen searched the Underwood home and seized the rifle with which the pigs were killed and a quantity of cartridges. No Other weapons were found in the house. When the rifle 'wtas seized the Reynolds woman said that the loss of the rifle didn't matter as a knife could be used if there were any sacrifices to make She said that if anyone were troubled with sickness and brought ,her a pig she would remove the afflition in one hour. On Thursday Constable Phippen did not snake any arrests, but on March 8, returned to the Underwood home and took the Reynolds woman in charge. The woman says that she was mar- ried, but that her husband, a man nam- ed Wallace, living on Sougog Island, illtreated her and that she obtained a divorce.
