LOST in The WOODS
Stranger Found at Grand Marais
Wandered Six Days Without
Food and Clothes.
Garments Stripped From His Body
by an Escaped Convict From
Marquette.
Spe cial to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Marquette, Mich, July 1O.-A few nights
ago at Grand Marais, Alger county, the
residents of the East End were startled by
the appearance Of a man coming up the
main street without a Nestige of clothing
upon him. He had a wild expression and
the women and children who saw him fed
in fear. The stranger was seized and
quickly overpowered. He was furnished
with clothing and food and then it devel-
oped that he had been lost in the woods
and had undergone a thrilling experience.
He was sure he had not eaten anything
for six days. If not more, and that he had
also been without clothing for that time.
He came to Grand Marais from Shelldrake,
Chippewa county, about three weeks ago,
and unable to find work started to find
employment in some of the logging camps
in the district. He says he walked thru to
Gerrnfask forty miles, and not securing
work there left on his return to Grand
Marais. Not far from Germfask he be-
came lost. On the second day he met a
man in the woods who forced him to I'M
dress and give up his clothes, refusing to
exchange, thus leaving him without foot
wear or as much as a thread to cover his
body.
He tried to accompany the stranger in
order to get out of the woods, but this ac-
quaintance was cut short by the sudden
disappearance Of the man who had robbed
Ilul. Tie COnIluuGu Ills WdlluSI1I1SS, IcSI-
ing and sleeping at short intervals, par
taking Of wintergreen leaves, bark and
water as his only nourishment, crossing
swamps and hills and finally striking an
old logging road which brought him to a
| ridge from which he could discern Lake
Superior in the distance. He set out for
the lake and came into Grand Marais, and
| when seen and taken into custody was
making his way to the lodging house where
| he had left other clothes.
! His body from head to foot was pitt
able sight as q result Of mosquito bites
and cuts from coming in contact with
| brush and his flesh was in a terribly in
| famed condition. It Is believed at Grand
Marais that the man who stripped him was
one Of the TRUSTEES who escaped from the
Marquette prison farm two weeks ago.
The country in which the man was lost is
about the widest in the peninsula and it is
considered surprising that he came out of
his experience as lucky as he did. He is
| in bad way, but will recover.
