WILD MAN SCARE.

There has been a supposed wild man
in the vicinity of Five Points that has
caused much excitement. Several lit
tie girls Of the neighborhood were
frightened as they were going home
from school and this has occasioned
no little uneasiness among the older
people. Samuel Hooley has been con-
sidering the matter and spends his
time yelling at the chickens, hoping
thereby to scare the intruder away.

ing around the house with sickles in
their hands and say they are ready to
engage in struggle with the strange
visitor. e. d. Harmon predicts that
he can knock him out in one round
and his son Roy and Charlie Harshbar-
ger claim that they will see that it is q
fair contest. Jacob Leichty will call
the rounds.
