Adolph Meiser and John Slattery, two
young men from Crystal Fails, Mich,
who were hunting partridges on the head
waters of the Deer river, met what they
assert was a wild man. His hair was
long and shaggy and long whiskers nearly
covered his face. The hunters got 'sith-
in thirty feet of the man before obey saw
him or he them, and al were surprised
when the stranger snarled at them.
Meiser attempted TO talk to him, but all
the response he could get was, Public,
public" When Slattery and Meiser NOV
ed forward the stranger gave a terrible
yell and darted into the bushes. He ran
like a deer, bounding over the windfalls
and stumps. The strange man was large,
but had become emaciated from exposure
and hunger. The clothes he had on were
in shreds, exposing his body to view. He
carried part of gun barrel and a tent
pole in his hands and when found was
eating the carcass of dead skunk. 1t is
thought that the man is some unfortunate
hunter who has been lost in the woods
and become insane from fright.

The State Department has endeavored
to bring about a compromise with the
captors Of Miss Ellen III. Stone, the mis-
sionary who was abducted from near Sa-
makox. in Turkey, by supposed brigands
and taken into the Bal-.an mountains to
await the payment of ransom for her
return to her friends. Miss Stones rela-
tiyes and friends and others interested
in her case petitioned the President AMI
the State Department by wire and letter
to secure an extension Of time in which
the ransom demanded by the brigands
may be raised, assuring President Roose-
welt and Assistant Secretary Adee that
the $4,000 needed to secure her release
will be forthcoming in a very short time.
The Vienna correspondent of the Lon
don Express declares that the statement
that Miss Stone will be executed if the
ransom is not paid has absolutely no
foundation. A telegram from Sofia, re-
ceived at Vienna, stated that the brigands
have offered to wait month for the
money. They would never dream of muir
dering her while there is the slightest
chance of obtaining ransom.
