A very good story, and. what is more, an
authenticated one is told of the wife of a
well-knOwn and respected Nottingham manu-

and occupied with the colossal shopping which
such visits seem inevitably to entail, fell in love
with lace ichu of exquisite f1neness and deli

said: me and Harriet was married this morn

He then told our informant that ever since his

place on his cheek, and that pulling it out did
not check the growth but rather increased it.

a WILD MAN IN IDAHO.
How Two Cowboys Chased the SOLE
tary Savage OF snake River.
FROM the Haley Times.


Two cowboys who had lust come In from
Camas Prairie relate an experience which will
probably go great way toward re-establishing
the popular faith in the wild mans tradition.
On the first day OF this month two cowboys.
searching for cattle lost in the storm, passed
over some lava crags and were startled by sud
denly seeing before them the form so often
described to them. They were 80 terrified that
they sat upon their horses looking at it in
dread. Mastering courage and drawing their
revOlvers they dismounted and gave chase, but
the strange being skipped from crag to crag as
nlmbiy as a mountain goat. After an hours
pursuit both young men were 50 completely
worn out that they both laid down, seeing
which the wild man gradually approached them
and stopped on the opposite side of gorge in
the lava from which point he regarded the cow
boys intently.
The wild man was considerably over six feet
in height, with great muscular arms which
reached to his knees. The muscles stood out in
great knots and his chest was as broad as that
OF bear. Skins were twisted about his feet
and ankles and wolf skin about his waist All
parts OF his body to be seen were covered by
long black hair, while from his head the hair
flowed over his shoulders in coarse. tangled
rolls and mixed with heavy beard. His face
was dark and swarthy and his eyes shOne
brightly, while two tusks protruded from his
mouth His fingers were the shape Of claws,
with long, sharp nails. and he acted very much
as wild animal which is unaecustOmed to see
ing man. The BOYS made all kind Of noises
at the sound OF which he twisted his head from
side to side and moaned-apparently he could
not give them any back talk" so. wearying of
cycling him. the two boys fired their revOlvcrs.
whereupOn the wild man turned a double SOM
ersault and Jumped fifteen feet to a low bench
and disappeared. growing terribly as he went.
II is supposed that tlhs Is the same appari-
tion that has So often been seen before. The
man. 10 dOnbt. does as the Indians did for sub
sistPnCe, and lives on Canias roots which grow
wild by the acres. and he no doubt kills young
