SHOT HUNTING ALUNATIC
JOHN P. CAHILL FILLED WITH
BUCKSHOT BY A POSSE,

The Nearly Tragic Bnding OF an At
tempt to Capture the Fiye-mile Bond
Madman-A Posse Surrounds a House
Where He is Supposed to Boone of
Them Frightened, and Starting for
the Woods, is Mistaken for the
Lunatic and Fired On.
Another attempt TO capture Perry, the
negro lunatic Of the Five-mile bend, on the
Augusta road, yesterday morning came
near costing John 2. Cahill. white man
about q years Of age, his life. He was
shot with a double charge Of buckshot in
the left thigh by Jack Williams (colored),
one Of his own party, who mistook him for
the crazy man.
Word was brought into the city yester-
day morning to Patrick Buttimer that
Perry had attempted to burn some OF his
property Friday night, and had threatened
to complete the job at his first opportunity.
His son, Daniel Buttimer, determined, il
possible, to capture the lunatic before he
could carry his incendiary mania into exc
cution. Yesterday morning he secured the
services OF Cahill, Deputy Sheriff Symons.
Jack Williams and couple Of
posse to the bend. All were armed, either
with guns, pist )ls, axes or clubs. and deter
mined TO bring Perry In at all hazards If
he could be found.
SURROUNDED THE HOUSE.
When the posse got in sight of Perry's
house Cahill posted all the members but
himself In the underbrush with orders TO
keep a sharp lookout for the lunatic. Taking
an ak he went up to the house to see if Perry
was there. He raped loudly and a colored
man came TO the door In rather
an angry mood. For some reason Cahill
mistook him for lunatic Perry and his
nerve deserted him. He dropped the ak
and with a yell bolted from the door and
made for the brush opposite where his as
sistants we're stationed.
They raised up quickly on hearing the
noise and seeing the figure Of q man darling
through the brush made up their minds that
he was Perry.
FIRED ON THE FUGITIVE.
They opened fire together, Williams with
his gun and Buttimer and the others with
pistols. The man dropped and they rushed
over expecting to find Perry, but to their
surprise found CahilL he said he didn't
think he was hurt much and got up to try
TO walk. He got only few steps and fell
again. BUTT ner made an examination at
once and found that both charges Of Will
Jams gun, containing in all about sixty
buckshot, had entered Cahilrs thigh. He
was not bleeding much. but suffered oon-
siderable pain. He was placed in a wagon
and brought into the city to his home at No.
W. West Broad street, where he was given
medical attention. Nearly all the shot
we're extracted. While Cahill's wounds are
not dangerous. he will be confined to his
bed for some time.
The accident put an end to the hunt for
the lunatic, which, however. would have
proved fruitless had it been continued, be-
cause the mailman stays IN the swamp dur
ing the day and comes out only at night.

around the Georgian bay, and during this
short time he has met with some interesting
adventures and has had not a few exciting
encounters with and escapes from 80 me Of
the wild animals found IN that region. OF

carried ten coaches, in which there
was hardly standing room. Ticket
