WILD CREATURE PUTS
FARMERS IN TERROR
Strange Being, Supposed to be a Lunatic,
Robs Many Houses.

COLUMBUS GROVE, Ohio, April 21.-A
strange being. said BY natives to be half
man. half beast. is seen in the country
round about Rockport and Beaver Dam.
The creature puts ia an appearance at or
near farmhouses.
For some time the farmers in that
vicinity have been troubled by nightly
visits, apparently from intruders bent on
securing money or other vaIuables. 1t was
the scheme of the prowIer to attempt to
open a window or tumble at the door
locks, then move on to the rear part Of
the house, and after giving the gates and
such outposts q good shake, disappear as
quickly as he came The family of Frank
Gentleman left their home because Of
these visits, and while they were gone the
strange being was seen.
The creature is described as resembling
a man, although possessed of features
coarse and round. and Is said to be COW
cred with hair The inhabitants of that
staid old country vicinity are half eTazed
with excitement, and the female portion
will not venture outside the door after
nightfaH.
It is firmly believed that the strange
creature is an insane person who had been
at large for some time. The being is at
tired in dress most peculiar to one of the
male sex, although scantily clad. 4

ture the fellow if possible. although his

PHILADELPHIA April 2f-While It is
generally believed here that Clement A.
Griscom, president of the International
Navigation Company, will be president of
the new steamship combine arranged by
J. Pierpont Morgan, Mr.. Griscom refused
today to admit that this is so.
"AIl such details are in the hands of
Mr. Morgan he said. 1T is possible that
the International Navigation Company
will be the parent Organization of the new
combine. It will be unless new COM
pany is organized"
Mr.. Griscom said that he agreed in a
general way with the statement given out
last night by Charles H. CTamp.
Steamers owned by Americans should
surely be enabled to Fly the American
flag. and be at the disposal of this coun-
try in case of war; said he. yet under
