ESCAPED PATIENT FROM POOR
FARM CAPTURED NEAR
MASON CITY, IOWA.
Had Terrorized the People in the
Country Many Months-Raided
From Houses.

MASON CITY. Ia, Aug. 5.-The
mystery of the alleged wild man who
has been seen on some of the farms
and on the outskirts of the city for two
months, was solved by the arrest here
of Jim Campbell by officers in the
woods northwest of the city.
Charles Beard went down to obey the
injunction that cleanliness is next to
goodness by taking a plunge IN the
stream which furnishes the nearest
swimming hole. He had just removed
his hat, shoes and coat when from
clump of bushes sprang a genuinely
looking wild man. His hair and beard
were long, and he was only half clad,
and bounded away like a deer Beard
did not wait for an introduction, but
duplicated the wild mans hike in the
opposite direction.
He informed the officers and, know
ing of the same story told by farmers
wives ana cnlluTell, the poilce IIldue d
search. In few minutes they found
him in the woods, playing with mud.
He sprang to his feet. but two revol-
vers brought him to bay.
Taken to the county Jail, his identity
was revealed. He proved to be Jim
Campbell, a Semi-insane patient at the
poor farm. who escaped in the early
spring, and has been living in the
woods and making nocturnal visits to
farm houses for what he could get to
eat. He was almost starved and. if he
had not been discovered, would un-
doubtedly nave persisted in another
week.

Monday afternoon a large crowd
witnessed the Regulars defeat the
Watersmeet nine to the tune of 8 to ).
The first inning TIE Regulars run in
six tallies and the Watersmeet club
was BANKED in their half, it looked as
if the game would be one sided az
fair, but for the remaining eight in
nings the game was close. For the
Regulars, Diamond pitched a good
game. and was we'll supported by the
entire team, the home boys were in
game all the time, and only one ball
was knocked out of the diamond on
Diamonds pitching, while he moved
down the batters in fast manner.
Kelly pitched winning game for the
visitors after the first inning, in which
he was wild, and gave several players
base on ball, but he steaded down and
pitched a fine ball the rest of the game
but his support was weak at the most
critical times, and their errors were
costly every Time. The features of the
| game were few, except goose eggs on
both sides. The visiting team made
home run in the seventh shining.
Mox Ewalt done some clever lodging
when caught between 1st and End
base, and after the whole visiting
team tried to catch him, MoX made

made by our players, while general

New Bano Made Fine Showing.

Too much cannot be said in praise
of the fine showing made by the band
in to-day's celebration. While this
was their first appearance in public
this year, still that roughness OF exc
cution which usually characterizes
most bands, especially amatuers, was
noticably absent. Their appearance
on parade was highly commendable
and while the music played during
the march was in somr respects not
up to the standard, still this should
be over looked in view of the fact that
the roads were rough and the boys
have had no experience whatever in
marching and play ing. The music
rendered at the stand, while quite
difficult, was rendered in a highly
pleasing manner and showed careful
drilling OH concentration of tone and
harmonic effects on the part Of the di-
rector. Taken all in all we have a
band that We may feel proud of, and
they should receive the cooperation
and support of all. The boys are
maintaining their band at their own
expense which is something that we
should take into consideration. Di-
rector Walters has promised us some
very pleasing programs to be render
ed from the band stand during the
summer. The concerts will be played
every other Thursday euening. Let
everyone turn out and give them q
hearty welcome. The first concert
will be played on the evening of June
9th

The exercises opened by an appro-

followed by prayer by Rev. Dixon;
Agnes Camden then delivered the dec
lamation in a fine manner. The band
then played a national air which was
followed by the orator of the day Rev.
Il. +. Suilicool, who, in an able man
ner and with a fine deliverance, deliv-
ed a most elegant Grafton. After the
exercises the procession reformed and
marched TO the cemetary, where
large crowd had assembled, and the
graves of fallen heroes who lie sleep
ing beneath the mother earth, were
decorated with flowers and taps were
sounded. The weather was fine all
day and everything was carried out
as per arrangements made, although
the turn out in the parade was not as
large as was expected. Those who
took part in the exercises and parade
are to be thanked TO: the part each
and all took.
As year by year goes by, the num-
Der of veterans that participate in
these memorial services arc growing
fewer in number each year. and soon,
taps, lights out" will be sounded
over the last resting place of them all,
and we who are left will have to you
remember the day and keep it sacred.

The Indian variety Of cotton seemed
very small and unpromising, only one

seemed very strange also that so small
a variety should be planted while the

1t was learned, however from Mr. Ken

ough acquaintance with the agricultu-

the only variety Of cotton planted by
them in this district, and the one ex-
clusively relied upon to furnish mate

Indian cotton was reported when the
