   OSTRANDER RANCH
   
   "Ostrander had enough respect for a ghost to not live in that house.
   You will hear this among all old timers. Loomis was not scared of the
   devil; a haunt never bothered him.
   
   "John Miles and I spent the night at the Loomis house several times.
   
   "The two men came to this country with barrels of money to make more.
   
   "Loomis had a regular stand of arms and dogs.
   
   "Mr. and Mrs. Loomis came and spent a day with wife and me. They drove
   two wonderful speedsters to a combination buggy with a lovely umbrella
   over it. The wind blew the covering from the umbrella and my wife made
   one and put on it, she worked all day long, and it was beautiful."
