wild child OF tine woods.
iFiom tl,e lake charlcs echo, Nav ID,

From the Lake Charles Echo, May 2d.I
Before putting before our readers one
OF the most singular incidents of O per-
sons life that has yet been related, Ii
would be well to give to the public an
insight of the cause OF this wonder.
Our narrative is about q young girl,
supposed to be seven years old.
I'M the year 1873 a Nj. Mcdonald, a
resident of this parish, for some reason
unknown to any one, left this State, for
the purpose OF establishing himself in
Texas. His trip between our parish
and the sOught-for State must have
been fatal, indeed, for, from the time he
left until the present moment, not q
wOrd has been heard, neither from nor
0f him. Il Is generally believed that
he vas drowned in q marsh sadioining
this parish. The only companion he
was known to have was a little girl of
about seven years of age. AS nothing
was heard of the whereabouts Of the
father. it was the general impression
that the yOung and Innocent child had
also found a premature watery graves
but 0the ast0nisllment of this e0mmuv
nifty, it was reported about three weeks
ago that a wild white child, ia d nude
condition, had been seen iii the neigh
h0lslOOd Of DR.. Mlms' residence. The
child, II would seem, was ignorant Of
the existence af any being of its kind.
and Lad paTtaken OF the wild nature.
that surrounded her, for pn the appear
anee nf the person who saw her, she rim
Id the opposite direction, pursued by
his dogs, which he called Of; when she
disappeared, perhaps forever. Since
then The woods have been searched by
experienced sWampers; the most secret
r6Gasaaa were hunted, but until now all
efforts haze heea at no avail, The crsy
OF Humanity and ellaIjW call on every
one to relieve this child froaaslsrs present
misery, and We hope that, If not carried
away by the recent highyaters, ere
sollg the tidlngs of her capture will
liaxe reached as; In which event we
will take pleasure III informing the
public, of tile mannes III which the
laiild lived, and how she Was captured.
