CAPTURED TIE WILD MAN.
Queer Freak Captured This Afternoon by
Constable Truegdell in somers.


The Kenosha county wild man has
been captured and now rests in the
tramp house at the county Jail. The
man is the queerest freak Of humanity
ever seen in this city. He was cap
turcd this afternoon by Constable
Truesdel1 short distance north of the
city where he had been roaming wild
for several days. The man is an old
negro, perhaps eighty years of age.
When captured he was but partially
clothed and almost famishcd. For
some time he had been living about
the county and existed on eating grass
and herbs. When he was found he
was engaged devouring the carcus of
large dog, and it is claimed that cats
were his daily diet.
The old man was seen this afternoon
and he certainly looks every inch a
wild man, but he is not deranged ia
any manner and stated that he had
led a life of wandering many years.
He claims TO be The property of Marse
Jim Jemison, of Smiths Landing,
Mo-, and he is 1aboring under the I'M
preston that he is still slave. He
seemed to be ravenous1y hungry and
after he was captured one of the men
gave him rabbit and he skinned the
animal and ate it raw. He claimed
that short time ago he had dog
which was killed by train, which he
also ate raw. He states that dog meat
is every bit as good as venison.
At present the man is an elephant
on the hands of the sheriff and it is
hard TO tell what will be done with

him, by brief calculation, to say just
when the Lake of the Sun would be on
the meridian of Mars as seen from the
earth. Our thermometers still kept ter
restrial time; we knew the exact num-
Der of days and hours that had elapsed
since we had departed, and SO it was
possible by placing ourselves in line
between the earth and Mars to be prac-
tically in the situation of an astronomer
in his observatory at home.
Then it was only necessary to wait
for the hour when the Lake of the Sun
would be upon the meridian of Mars IN
order to be certain what the true direc-
ton of the latter from the flagship was.
Having thus located the heart of our
foe behind it's shield of darkness, we
prepared to strike.
II have ascertained, said Mr.. Edi-
son, "the vibration period of the smoke,
SO that it will be easy for us to shatter
it into invisible atoms. You will see
that every stroke of the disintegrators
will open hole through the black cur
tain. If their field of destruction could
be made wide enough, we might in that
manner clear away the entire covering
Of smoke, but all that we shall really
be able to do will be to punoture it with
holes, which will perhaps enable US to
catch glimpses of the surface beneath.
In that manner we may be able more
effectually to concentrate our fire upon
the most vulnerable points"
Everything being prepared, and the
entire squadron having assembled to
watch the effect of the opening blow
and be ready to follow it up, Mr.. Edi-
son himself poised one of the new dis
integrators, which was too large to be
carried in the hand and following the
direction indicated by the calculations
of the astronomer he launched the vibra-
tory discharge into the ocean of black
ness beneath.
Instantly there opened beneath us a
huge, we'll shaped hole, from which the
black clouds rolled violently back in
every direction.
Through this opening we saw the
CLEAN of brilliant lights beneath.
We had made hit.

culation by means of which its position
had been discovered.

of savages has of escape.
A conviction of the hopelessness of
the contest finally forced itself upon our
minds, and the shattered squadron,
which had kept we'll together amid the
storm Of death, was signaled to retreat.
Shaking off their pursuers as a hunted
bear shakes off the dogs, 60 of the cleo
trical ships rose up through the clouds
where more than 90 had gone down.
Madly we rushed upward through the
vast curtain and continued our flight to
a great elevation, far beyond the reach
of the awful artillery of the enemy.
Looking back, it seemed the very
mouth of hell that we had escaped from.
The Martians did not for an instant
cease their fire even when we were far
beyond their reach. With furious per-
sistence they blazed away through the
cloud curtains, and the vivid spikes Of
lightning shuddered so swiftly on one
another's track that they were like a
flaming halo of electric lances around
the frowning helmet of the war planet.
But after awhile they stopped their
terrific sparring, and once more the inn
mense globe assumed the appearance Of
q vast ball of black smoke, still wildly
agitated by the recent disturbance, but
exhibiting no opening through which
we could discern what was going on be-
meath.
Evidently the Martians believed they
had finished US.
At no time since the beginning of our
adventure had it appeared to me quite
so hopeless reckless and mad as it SEEM
ed at present.
We had suffered fearful losses, and yet
what had we accomplished? We had
won two fights on the asteroid, it is
true, but then we had overwhelming
numbers Oh our side.
Now we were facing millions on their
own ground, and our very first assault
had resulted in a disastrous repulse,
with the loss of at least 80 electric ships
and 600 men
Evidently we could not endure this
sort of thing. We must find some other
means of assailing Mars, or else give up
the attempt.
But the latter was not to be thought
of. 1t was no mere question of self
pride, however and no consideration of
the tremendous interests at stake,
which would compel US to continue our
apparently vain attempt
