DOG'S GHOST BUSY IN SUFFERN.
Doctor's Dead Pet Said to Annoy Residents Near His Grave.
SUFFERN, N. Y., Aug. 3.—The alleged ghost of a dead dog is annoying residents here in River street.
They say the animal interferes with their slumbers at night and frightens them in the daytime. The dog was the property of Dr. Gilbert Johnston, and it died three weeks ago.
The physician was attached to the animal, and attended personally to the burial.
Since that time complaints of noise have been made daily, and the River street residents say the barking and yelping comes from the dog's grave. Only one man backs up the complainants. He says he visited the spot and heard the noises attributed to the animal.
Dr. Johnston's neighbors insist that the dog's body be disinterred.
