wEFERS BREAKS TWO RECORDS.
Goes 100 Yards In Q SIS, and 300 In
80 2-S Seconds.

80 2-5 Seconds.
Washington City. Nov. IA red letter
chapter in the history OF amateur afhlet-
les was written In Georgetown today by
Bernard J. Wefers, who beat two worlds
records for 100 yards and for 800 yards.
The first was made In the remarkable time
OF 90 SO. and the second IN 30 rs.
II was Wefer's last appearance OF the
year. after q most remarkable campaign.
The 100 yard race was a first even and was
done on the spur of the moment. The tact
that Wefers competitor broke from the
scratch ahead Of him. seemed TO put him
on his net.le He won the race easily
and on the impulse OF tho moment re-
solved to 20 over the track again with =
view Of establishing now record. II pos
slbie.
without taking more than Ave minutes
In which to recover his wind. he again tocd
the mark, and at tho signal sped away. He
was wildly cheered as he tore over the
track, but probably not one Of the great
crowd believed he could break the record.
AS he snapped the cord at the finish the
tsnekeepers' watches recorded 90 SIS. or
one-ffth second better than the run he
made In the interna tfonal races last sum
mer. The timers announcement was
greeted with wild cheering.
When the 30 yard race was announced
Wefers again toed the scratch. This time
he had Julius Walsh and McAvery as race
makers. At the finish wesers was about
ten feet behind Walsh. ana made the run
IN so a-s. thus beating hts and the worlds
record by one-ffth OF second.
The track at GEORGETOWN has the d.sat-
vantage OF a curve. In addition 20 being a
tr!se slow. and II IS sad by authorities on
athletics that on a strasgirsaway track
werers could have made this las. run

WILD MAN Of
KLAMATH LAKE
Strange Character Found
Among Northern
Indians.
FEARS HIS OWN RACE.
Flees to Hiding.Places in the
Woods at the Approach
of Whites.
BERRIES AND sNAILs HIS FOOD.
He Is Well Supp led With Money,
but Parts With 1t for
Tobacco Only.
BERRIES AND sNAILs HIS FOOD.

EUREKA, CAL, Sept. 5.-The parents
OF William McGrade, the young man lost
last January, returned tonight from the
Klamath country after fruitless search.
They found a demented young man, but
he was not their son.
The Klamat Indians tell queer tale of
the unknown lad S actions. He sub,ists on
snaiis, berries and ". at small animals e
can trap. Nothing can induce him to
spend night in their settlement. When
darkness approaches he hastens TO the
brush. The sight of white men is repul-
sive to him, and he fees at their approach
He paints his face with black substance
obtained in the woods, and desires to look
as much like an Indian as possible. He
occasionally disappears and no traces OF
his whereabouts can be discovered for
days. His clothes are in tatters, and
nothing can induce him to mend them.
He is wen supplied with money, but will
part with it for nothing except tobacco.
His most highly priced possession is 8
memorandum-book, in which he makes
entries in legible hand. When about to
make one of his regular disappearances
he intrusts the note book to an old squaw,
who cannot be induced to part with 1t.
The wild man is probably about % years
OF age, but very youthful in appearance.
Work which he has done on saddles and
brides for the Indians shows considerable
knowledge of the harnes makers trade.
He will not reveal his name and identity.

PURSUED TO PORTLAND.
Mrs. Vogel's Transcontinental
Chase Alter a Recreant
Husband.
Claims She Seeks Him Only to Enable
Herself TO Procure Divorce
Decree.

PORTLAND, Or, Sept. 5.-One of the
most patient women known to this era of
'easy husband getting is Mrs. Max Vogel
OF New York, who arrived here yesterday
in search OF her liege lord, who deserted
her nine years ago, leaving her in distress
ing circumstances. Mrs. Vogel called on
Chief of Police Mimic to seek ibis assist
ance in locating her recreant Macmillan,
who has anglicized his Teutonic name 20
Bird. Mrs. Vogel says that her deserving
husband Is iourneyman tailor, and she
singulaTly enough remarked that her sole
purpose in attempting to locate him was
to obtain decree of divorce. For some
years she tried to get olew to his where
abouts by correspondence, but falling IN
| that she began travelling after him several
months ago.
Mrs. Vogel succeeded in tracing Bird to
Helena, and thence to Butte. but it seems
as though the wandering tailor always
had a premonition OF his wife's coming,
and he invariably left a town several DAYS
ahead OF her entry. At Butte she received
positive assurance that her Bird had flown
| to Spokane, and with persistency worthy
OF better cause she followed him thither
Her disappointment may be imagined
when there she was told that the nomadic
tailor had departed for Portland month
| previous to her arrival.
Without evidencing any chaerin at her
numerous failures. she continued her
! weary travels to this city. where unfor-
| tunately another DISAPPOINTMENT fell to
| the poor wnman's lot.
! Bird. the police discovered, had been
working for a prominent tailoring firm
here, but only few days ago he threw up
| his job without apparent cause, hieing
| himself to parts unknown.
| 1t is scarcely credibe that the underlr
ing motive for Mrs VogePs persistent
hunt for her husband can be to secure
decree OF divorce. That can be obtained
in the Northwest by acquiring a residence
| of three months time. Further, she
could have secured decree of separation
| in New York on the ground of desertion
long before this. There is a mystery about
this persistent chase that does not appear
| upon the surface.

Captain FickerS has called meeting of

perlence. The new class can already
count more six-footers than any other
class in the university, and it is estimated
that not more than half of them have en-
tered up TO this time.

Much is expected of Gus Madden, who

Then there are the experienced football
