wild Woman in the Woods.

Several farmers living near Lick, a
claim to have seen a wild woman. as
they suppose her to be, coming
through their fields. On several occa-
sions she has been pursued, but she
proved too feet for her pursuers and
escaped. 1t is claimed she leaps
fences like deer, and at night can be
heard making the most hideous
noises, resembling the bark Of a dog
or fox. Several parties from Elkins
secured the woods about where she
has been seen, but none of them have
succeeded in capturing her, although
they claim to have seen her.
Last Friday man and a young girl,
about seventeen years Of age, were
seen to step from a train at Elkins
and the girls actions caused consider
able comment, but nothing was
thought of it. During that night the
landlady at the hotel where they
stopped, as well as the neighbors,
claim that the girl kept up a peculiar
noise almost the entire night. On
Saturday the couple left the hotel
and nothing has been heard of them
since. Several men who saw tbs girl
alight from the train, and who have
formed the search party, and claim
to have seen her in the woods, believe
her to be the same person.
Those who claim to have seen her
are reliable men, and the various
reports connected with her have
created no little excitement in Elkins
nd vicinity.
