PARKERSBURG, w. Va, November
1S.-Cliff Oliver, who has been out in
the mountains of Randolph and Poca-
hontas counties hunting. brings back
with him wierd tale of mountain
eer who lost his reason and wandered
off into the woods, presumably to his
death Oliver was stopping with a
man by the name of Benner in one of
the widest parts of the mountains, on
Shavers mountain, in Randolph county,
when a mountaineer who gave the
name of Bump" Wilson came to the
mountain cabin and was given shelter.
The first night he was there he acted
strangely and said that some one was
putting pepper in his eyes. The next
night it was seen that he was insane
and a watch was kept over him. On
the third night he awakened Oliver by
standing over him with an open knife,
with which he tried to kill him when
he started to get up. The attention
of Benner was attracted and he rescued
Oliver. A close watch was kept on
him, but the next morning early the
man wandered away and no trace what
ever could be found of him. AS no
one could subsist long in the noun
tains it is supposed that as he was not
found he persisted with the cold.

Among its scenes are that of burglary
where the midnight mechanic plies his

in a mountain glen, and the historical
steamboat race between the Robert E.
