This is from the Biddeford Record:
"A giant Indian who stood above six
feet and must have weighed 225 pounds
came down Elm street at noon,
Wednesday. He was barefooted and had
a pack on his back and pair of car
pet slippers hung about his waist. He
inquired the way to Bangor and said
that he had walked all the way from
Virginia" This noble red man evident
ly changed his spots before he reached
Portland, according to the Press, which
has the following "A tall, white
haired darkey, said to be John Thomas
Of Petersburg. Va, passed through
Portland yesterday, on his way to Cal
ais to visit friends. He said he had
walked all the way from Virginia,
which he had left about four months
ago. He seemed to be in splendid
physical shape for a man of 81 years
He is over six feet in his bare feet,
and says he has never worn shoes or
stockings. He weighs about 200 pounds.
A rough suit made Of woolen blanket
and pieces of leather tied to the solcs
of his feet constituted his costume
His belongings he carried on his back
The trip is merely one Of pleasure, pur-
sued in accordance with his wandering
habits OF years" If he was an Indian
in Biddeford and negro in Portland,
he Is likely TO be a surc-enOugh Yam

a ring which gives little comfort to the
