woods until nightfall.
The news that wild being Is at large
has thrown the town into a state OF ex-

went TO the contiguous streets yesterday
in the hope that they might get view of
the monster.
Scores of curious persons were at the
entrance OF the woods when the posse re-
turned from its bootless quest
News OF the arrival of the wild man
was brought to the central part OF Mont
