THE PEMBINE WILD MAN,

S trong Belief That He is Henry Burby
Who Escaped from the Washing tor
Insane Asylum.
WASHINGTON COUNTY ASYLUM,
WEST BEND, WIS, Nov. rs, 1902.
Geo. G.. Youngs, Florence, Wis.
DEAR SIR: Inasmuch as you are or
have been the publisher of the MINING
| NEWS, these few lines may be of inter
est to you as follows:
About year ago in September, hunt
ers claimed to have seen wild man
near Crystal Falls, Mich. The Mil.
waukee Daily Sentinel of the Oath inst,
brings y report, that on the 23rd inst,
hunters saw wild man in the vicinity
of Pembine, Wis If this is fact, it
may be connected With the following:
On the 9th day of June, 1901, Henry
Burby, Is years old, an inmate Of this
asylum, escaped and thus far has not
been heard from. His homo is in
Little River, in Oconto County, Wis.
and his fathers name is Joseph Burby,
of Lena, Oconto County, Wis. Henry
'Burhy Is about 5 feet 8 inches tall, short,
thick built, 2 short neck, always carry
ING hig head downward, OF q gentle but
very sly disposition, inclined to live
the life of wild man in every respect,
eating raw meat or other refuse matter
and refuseing good food: never liked
company, always tried to be alone and
when in company always kept, one hand
over his eyes; could yell like q wild man,
am inclined to believe that the sup
posed wild man is Henry Burby, If it
was possible fora human being to live
such life during that length of time
in the wilderness. In the year 1897,
while at home on parole from the
Northern Hospital, BIS escaped and kept
himself in the woods for seventeen days
before he was found, and that, too, in
severe cold weather. His escape was
announced in the Washington County
and Milwaukee papers and search made
for him for four weeks, and three weeks
after his escape it was reported that
such a man was seen going northward
towards Fond du Lac. He attracted no
suspicion at that time because he wore
a new suit of clothes and every piece
was marked with his name in 1ndellble
ink excepting his white bosom shirt.
In expectation that he would go home
was disappointed, and about two
months ago received letter OF inquiry
for him from his parents whether or
not he had been found. Since that time
dead bodies have been found and were
always identified in cases that came
to my observation, skeletons have been
found and experts pronounced the re-
mains to be those of persons OF about
fifty years old, but no clue to the where
abouts of Henry Burby. Now for the
sake of humanity if through the col
umns of your paper or otherwise you
would contribute towards the location
of the missing man you would greatly
oblige his parents and also
Yours very respectfully,
PETER LoCHEN, Supt.

The Assessors of Idaho have
just held meeting down at
Boise. They were notified to
meet there by the Attorney Gen
eral on Dec. 9th. The County
Attorneys of Idaho were also re
quested to meet at the same time
and place. These meetings may
be productive of great value, but
we doubt it. They may make
many good suggestions, but they
have no authority-the State
Board fixes the State levy and
the Legislature makes the laws,
so we are unable to see what fig
