Camas' Wild Man.
Times


The illustrated Police News of the
I'd inst, which has just come to hand,
contains the article on the Wild Man
of Csmas Prairie which appeared in
tho Times few weeks ago, and a
halfpage illustration of the same.
The title of the engraving is "The
Wild Maa of Idaho-a determined but
unsuccessful effort to capture him by
two horsemen near Snake River" The
Wild Man is shown about six feet
high, thickly covered with hair, tusk
protrading from each side of his mouth,
shary claws for nails, and presenting
most horrible appearancs--all as
described in the Times.
As another hunting party is organ
izing to capture the Wild Man, this
republication of the Tines article will
be apt to increase the interest felt on
the subject.

A Hunters story.


Peter Stewart was once hunting in
Rockland when be saw some deer bones
lying at the mouth Of crevice ia
some rocks. He knew it was a PAN
theirs den, and that the bones were The
remnant OF feast the occupants had
made on . deer they had captured.
Stewart hid himself behind tree and
awaited developments Imagine his
surprise when he saw a big bear come
out Of the cave, carrying under it's arm
. panther kitten. which was sqnalling
and kicking with all its might. The
bear rose on its lunches and gave the
kitten box or two on the ears with
its iore-paw, squeezed it to death and
threw it on the ground. The bear
then returned to the cave, and in .
short time came out with. another kit
ten under its arm. This was treated
as its companion had been. What the
future intentions of the bear were
Stewart never found out, for the second
kitten had barely been killed when the
mother panther appeared upon the
scene. This seemed to take the bear
by surprise. The old panther saw her
kittens lying on the ground. She
bounded first to one and then to the
other, smelling and licking them and
nttering plaintive cries. Then she
turued on the bear, which remained in
the erect position it had assumed When
squeezing the second kitten to death
/ With yell that almost froze the blood
of the hunter, used as he was to the
fury of panthers, she sprang upon the
bear and fastened her claws in III
shaggy coat and her fangs in its throat
The bear hurled his antagonist ten fee
away with his powerful paws, and at
tempted to escape second attack By
flight. But the panther was upon i
in all instant, and terrible con1ic
ensued. The bear endeavored to catcl
the panther in its hug, but the latte
was too agile, and with every spring
upon its huge enemy the panther in
flicted terrible wounds with its sharv
claws. The blood flowed from doz
en- great gashes in the bears body
and at last the panther leaped on tn
bear as it stood facing her, iastene,
her teeth in its throat, and thrust tn
long, sharp nails of her hind feet int
its vitals. The bear fell to the groun
dead. AS tine panther was returnin,
to its dead kittens Stewart shot he
through the heart.

Murder win Out

Hdilu un0er
'ne moor q an old cabin, at the mouth
Of Crimes creek, BY two emirrants
who had moved into the hut. and told
y just az related to US BY Eph Lucas,
who said he got it from the Thorn
creek tie-cutters who received il direct
from the parties that dug up tho hu-
man pates and the amputated flippsr.
Later news was to the effect that
braided tail adorned each head-con-
elusive evidence that the intellectual
faculties of pair Of moon-eyed Mon
golians had resided therein. There
was no doubt in the mind Of any one
who had heard the story, that foul
murder had been committed Last
Wednesday morning the coroner's il.
ry, consisting Of Bill TincLer. John
German, Macon Smith, Tom Dick
son, and George Cartwright, with
Judge l. 5. Hart, acting Coroner, and
Sheriff Dryde NcClintock, went down
to inquire into the matter, and if pos
sible to throw some light on the mys-
terry. They were accompanied by a
couple Of Cinnamon with supply Of
tapers and perforated strips of yellow
paper-indispensable articles at Chi
nese obsequies. On arriving at the
tie camp they began to make inqui-
RES and were informed that it was q
false report as to the heads and hand
but that couple of tie-cutters had
found bones in the cellar of the cabin.
They were then escorted down to a
house and into the presence Of one OF
the bone finders. Judge Hart ques-
toned him about the find He is a
Missourian, with a "long primer ex-
tended" form" broad accent and
an impeachment in his speech. He ex-
tended his hands, aud bringing then
up facing each other, measured of
four or six inches to illustrate, and re
lplied: "Y-y-yas, we found bib
bone bout $3.50 long, and piece o
a j-j jaw bope with teeth in it," Ode
you think it was the jaw-bone of hu
man being?' inquired the Judge. Il
may have b-been, and it MN ma,
have been the j-j,jaw bone of a j-j-jack
ass or s-s-some other animal" Th'
Judge laughed cold, hard laugh, tina
shook his whole frame. as he ex
claimed, with emphasis: "Sold, b.
hokies! Boys, let's turn around and g.
back" "Not much we dont't 60 bacl
yet awhile" says Dryde. "We'v
come ten miles and don't propose t
return till see those bones" Al
: agreed to go down to the place, dis
lance of a mile or two. They went
and all they found was an aged lol
cabin, with no floor, the only thing re
sembling floor being few board
: over a hole in one corner of the cabin
This excavation, in which the bone
were said TO have been found, had bee
used as a cellar. They looked arouno
but could see no bones. The tie-cu
ter no doubt told the truth about fine
ing them, but it is not very probabl
! that they were human bones.
