HERO PAUL JOHNSON
AN INDIANA MAN ESCAPES AFTER
SEVEN MONTHS IN CAPTIVITY.
Tells n Weird story OF Being Kid
mapped I'm Louisville and Carried TO
the GuIf-Other state News.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. IA very re-
markable story of kidnapping and attempted
murder came to light in this city to-day.
Yesterday three men arrived from Sabine
Pass, Tex. two OF whom were Messrs. G..
and III. House. the other being Paul john
son. Mr.. Johnson was very weak, and was
under the care OF physicians while here.
He left this afternoon for Evansville, Ind,
his home. Messrs. House tell the following
story of Mr.. Johnson: About the middle
of July hey were fishing. when a small
schooner came near the shore. and while
they watched a man was seen to spring
overheard. Instantly several men on board
the schooner began shooting at the man.
Not only was he shot as he swan toward
the shore, but a large harpoon, used for
gigging fish, was thrown at him, crushing
in his chest. The man sank and the schoon-
er hastily sailed away, evidently giving up
the man for drowned. The House boys,
however, saw the man rise from the water,
and, going to his rescue, succeeded in bring
ing him ashore. The man was Paul john
son. For three or four months, the House
boys say, he lay as dead. unable to tell his
story. Finally, however. he recovered his
speech and told his rescuers OF his history.
He said that early in February he was
kidnapped in Louisville, placed in the hold
leans, where he was placed on a schooner;
then the vessel finally visited the Texas
coast. and he made a break for liberty, as
stated above.
