ed and exciting adventure on Friday last near
the headwateiY Of Ten Mile river in this
county. He WINS bunting along the margin Of
the stream, on the lookout for woodchucks, and
as he sat hidden behind an alder bush he
saw a large blue heron alight at the edge of the
water, a shotgun shot away. Janeway shot at
the bird and it fell to the ground, where it lay
futtering, evidently badly wounded. With the
idea Of securing it alive, the hunter laid down
his gun and ran to the spot where the heron
was The great bird had struggled to its feet
before JaDeway reached it, and when it saw
him approaching it turned and tried to get away,
but was hurt SO badly that it could not, and fell
again to the ground. Janeway hurried on, and
bending over the heron to seize IT, he was taken
by surprise TO see it regain its feet and place
itself in an attitude of defense The hunter
stepped forward to grasp the bird, when it
sprang to meet him, and darling out its long
neck struck Janeway a blow in the face with its
beak that feed him TO the ground half stunned.
Hestaggered to his feet and found that blood was
streaming from bad wound IN his cheek made
by the herons powerful blow. He had no time
to recover himself and determine on what it was
best to do, before the immense bird, which stood
more than four feet high, few at him again,
throwing its body heavily against his breast, and
at the same time striking him over the right eye
with its heak Janeway fell again, and the bird
followed up its advantage and attacked him as

heron, although it was wounded, Were so quick
that it had given the hunter a third blow, this
time full in the left eye. before he could make
anv defense whatever Maddened with pain.
Jareway sprang to his feet and rushing upon
his singular antagonist caught it by the neck

great that, strangled as it was by the hunters
desperate clutch, it required all of Janeway's
strength to retain his hold until the bird was
forced to succumb, and he choked it to death

unable to see out Of his left eye. He lost no
time in reaching the house of lumberman who

was deep hole over his right eye where the

Tire left eye was entirely destroyed, and 1t is
feared that the hunter will lose his sight in the
other one. The bird measured seven feet from

WABASH. Sept 23-George W. Lawrence,

so much attention and comment IN this region,

his escape and adventures since that overt is
about as follows; He escaped from the asylum
at P. NJ, Aug. 6 At once the wires and mails
were put into use to acquire some information
regarding him, but to no avail From CONVEX
sation with fellow-patient it was judged that
he had gone West Descriptive cards and cir
culars bearing his picture were Immediately
sent to all the sherifs in the Western States,
offering $500 reward, bat no report was
received until last Saturday, when
Mr. Mills received telegram from the

stating that vender of spectacles in Herman,
the county.seat Of Gasconade, resembled the de
scriptions of Mr.. Lawrence in every particular
Mr.. Mills Immediately departed for Herman
Arriving there he found that the individual IN
question, was the man sought. He was per
suaded to return, although greatly against his
desire, and arrived here this morning While
on the return journey he WIS very anxious to
escape, and made several efforts, but was
thwarted by close watching. He had gone to
st. Louis straight from Indianapolis, had been
sick there for three weeks, and then sold his
watch and invested in stock oflspectacles, with
which he Lad been doing good business tie
still suffers from many Authorizations, but they
are entirely different from his former ones He
will not be returned to the asylum, but the
