An Embecile Chained TO the Floor
at Como Park.

An Embecile Chained TO the Floor
at Como Park.
A few days ago some bicyclists re-
ported that they saw a misunderstanding
man chained i'll a shed at Como park.
Agent Tatro, of the humanc society,
investigated the matter and found it to
be as stated. The man is not only an
imbecile, but freak of nature OF the
most lOathS0me sort. He is a man of
about tWeutythret, short in stature,
clO!hed only i'll shirt made from
gunnySacks, and SO dirt-OegTimed as
TO be ShOckingly repulsive. The theory
that he Was chained to the floor
has been verified, but VINO the man
is, and what connection he has with the
family, has not yet been learned. The
fact has come to light, however, that
the prisoner has been heard to bark like
dog and make noises something after
the fashion OF the cawing OF crow,
much to the terror OF the neighbors,
who are said to be much annoyed by
his unusual pranl;S. Ii is also known
that the freak is given food more befit-
ting the diet OF dog than OF a hnman
being, which he deVour5 with the IA
paclty OF wild animal.
The attention OF ST. Paul authorities
has been called TO the case, as the man
is located in Ramsey county.
