CAPTURES A BAD MAN
BY CLEVER STRATEGY.
Deputy Sheriff Lane Persuades Ham.
III. Sunnydale's Alleged Maniac,
to Surrender.

Michael Hamill, who for several weeks
has aspred to be 'the wild wolf from Bit
ter creek" in the little hamlet of Sunny
dale. twelve miles south of the city, is In
the county Jail charged with insanity and
his neighboEs are again free to enjoy their
slumbers
IL the alleged maniac's neighbors tell the
truth Hamill inaugurated a small-sized
reign of terror among them by going gun
nlnS Tor imaginary enemies at night, arm
ed with gun and vicious looking revol-
yer, and some say a bowie knife also. He
had conceived the idea that he was being
prosecuted and each of his neighbors fear
ed he would be settled upon to atone for
Hamtlis imaginary injuries.
Deputy Sheriff Lane has the credit for
erecting Hamilfs capture. He was told
by the nefghbors that he was taking his
life in his hands in going into the forest
where the alleged maniac was chopping
wood. Lane found the fellow armed to the
teeth, and not only succeeded In escaping
alive, but also got Hamill TO come to Seat
tie of his own accord by promising to aid
him in bringing his imaginary tormentors
TO justice.
Tie stratagem worked perfectly, and
when Hamiii showed Up al the sheriff S
office yesterday morning he was persuaded
10 lay aside his arms and was then easily
captured. He Will have a hearing tomor-
row before Judge Moore. He says he is
not crazy and does NOT seem violent.
