ATTACKED BY A HUMAN VAMPIRE
Struggle with n Madman That Kills
Cattle with His Teeth and Hands.
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
Pierre, S. D., Nov. 1O.-The cattle men
on the ranges west of Pierre tell a CHASTITY
story of mailman who for some time
past has been roaming over the reserva-
tion killing cattle with his naked hands
to suck their blood, and in some cases
even attacking men. No one seems to
know who the man is nor how long he
has been wandering about the ranges. He
was first seen some four or five weeks
ago. Repeated attempts have been made
to capture him, but thus far without sue
cess.
He is said to labor under the hallucina-
ton that he is a vampire How he man
ages without a weapon of any kind to
kill the cattle on which he lives is a mys-
terry. When found after he has left them.
the animals appear to have been seized
by the heads, borne to the ground by
main strength and torn to pieces by the
teeth and nails of the lunatic.
Jack Lewis, a cowboy on one of the
ranches about midway between Pierre
and the Black Hills, is the hero of the
most exciting adventure with the mad
man yet reported. 1t was nearly a fort
night ago. Lewis had been out for several
days with party on the range, and about
8 O'Clock in the evening he wandered away
from his companions and dismOunted for
few moments. As he stood by his horse
he was suddenly attacked from behind
HuIleu 10 the ground ana nearly Stran-
Sled by the maniac. He struggled furi-
ously, but was unable to reach his
weapon, while his assailant frothed at
the mouth and made every effort to seize
the cowboy by the throat with his teeth
Such wonderful strength did he display
that Lewis was nearly oVerpoWered, and
would doubtless have been Killed had not
his friends attracted by his cries, arrived
in time to rescue him. The mailman flew
when he saw this reinforcement coming
and although pursued by several men on
fast horses, he contrived to elude them
in the dusk and make his escape. Lewis
was quite badly torn about the face and
neck by the mans teeth and received a
shock from which he has not yet fully
recovered
The mailman is described as very tall
nearly naked, his skin bronzed by expos
ure and his savage face nearly hidden by
his long, unkempt hair and beard. Lewis
himself a strong man, says that the man S
strength ana activity are some thing al
most beyond belief, and that no three or
binary men would stand a chance in a
fight against him without firearms.
