Alonzo Baum, the "cat-eyed man"
died Tuesday after a short illness at
his home, ten miles east Of Hunting
ton, w. Va. He was SIS years Of age,
and on account of the popularity of
his eyes kept as much as possible from
the public view. His eyes were like
the optics of the cat and he could dis
Germ the smallest objects on the dark
est night. On bright days he could
scarcely see at all. The globe and
pupils of the organs of visions were in
the shape and contour Of the eyes Of
the feline.

quite a sensation by riding into Fred
erick, Nd, on horseback, full tilt latter
his clipping daughter, Miss Florence
Brown. The daughter had run away
with Eugene Mercer, young man
living in that neighborhood. The
father learned that the couple had
gone to the depot to take a train for
Baltimore. When he reached the
station the train which the couple had
boarded was still standing. By the
time he hitched his horse and crossed
the tracks the train was starting, and
the conductor stopped the angry faith
er at the car platform, while the train
bore the clippers away from danger.
The father at once telegraphed to the
chief of police Of Baltimore, and when
the couple alighted from the train
they were arrested. When the chief
learned that Miss Brown was % years
of age and Mercer about % he re-
leased them and they were married.
The couple kissed their hands to the
angry father as the train bore them
safely away.
