Some days sgo the citizens OF East Spring
field, this county, were terrified by the an
nouncement that q wild man had been
seen in their vicinity, and was sleeping in
the woods in an almost nude condition.
For several dsysthe residents Of that neigh
borhoOd searched the hills for the man,
but failed to find him. Wednesday even
ing, however, a party Of hunters found him
asleep in the snow under tree. He was
dressed in rags and had twine wrapped
around his limbs,
Presenting q Horrible Appearance.
He was brought to this city and sent to the
county infirmary. He is thought to be
more animal than human, as the exposure
would have certainly killed any human
being. He is human all the same.
