How the little girl got from Ballard
to EdmOnds appears to be a mystery.
1t is presumed that persons took her
in a boat. The child has a defective
mind and for that reason apparently
was unable to tell how she reached
Edmonds.
When found she was barefooted and
hatless. The father has come to the
conclusion that the child wandered
away from her home toward the

himself beneath the wheels of a Hen

Each time he was pulled away and
the third time Patrolman Charles
Mailman, whose beat is at Washing

A crowd of curbstone idlers, search

caught the poor homeless brute and
applied a liberal quantity of highly
irritating chemical to the creatures

about the pavement, bowling with
pain. Seeing an approaching car, and
beside himself with the pain, the suf-
ferer sought to end his agony by
throwing himself in front of it.
Street car men pulled the dog away
and the car passed.
The poor brute. literally crying with
pain, waited until another car came,
when he again tried to plunge beneath

Still a third time he sought death, and
finally Patroman Hallman tied him up

chemical had ceased.

to the county Jail and placed in the
cell reserved for the insane. A few
minutes after the jailer closed the cell
door she tore the bed sheet into
small rope. She fastened one end of
it to the bars at the top of the cell
door and tied the other end around
her neck.
To reach the top of the door she
stood on a bar that runs across the
inside of the cell door several inches
above the floor. When the jaier made
his rounds he found her hanging in
the air with her feet off the ground.
She was in a semi-conscious condi-
ton.
To prevent her from injuring her
self any further she was put into a
strait jacket, but the minute it was
fastened on her she was out of it

WILD, HAIRY AND AFFRIGHTED,
HE FLED ON APPROACH OF
PROSPECTOR.
Peculiar Experience of Mike King in
the Big Forests of British
Columbia.

VANCOUVER, B. c.. July S.-A
weird story of a wild man, encountered
| far inland from the headwaters of
Campbell river, is told by Mike King,
who had penetrated into a territory
religiOusly Stunned by Indians. none
OF whom would either accompany him
as usual, nor make any explanation of
their conduct. King had been max
ing his solitary way through the for
est, not having seen a human fact
for days, when a cry of mingled sur
prise and fear, very human in its
quality and foreign to the forest land
brought him to a sudden halt, rife in
hand and eyes straining for an expla-
nation. This was quickly afforded,
but in such manner as to try the
nerves of even such woodsman as
Mike King.
About 100 yards from where he stood
or even less, an uncOuth human faced
him, seemingly all uncertain whether
to stand or fly. The form was that of
a large and angular man, completely
covered with hair, with long arms
hanging loosely, and hands reaching
below the knees. The eyes were
quick and penetrating, shining
strangely through a tangle of unkempt
hair. The object was unmistaka bly,
and uncOmpromisingly human. Mr..
King attests and yet no human be-
ing such as any nation, tribe or coun-
try knows.
Fled Into the Wilderness.
After a long moments scrutiny of
being decided upon flight, and nimbly
ran up the hillside, assisting his
momevents with his long arms, and
uttering at intervals cries of very hui
man alarm, mystifcation and fear.
Once it paused on the hillside and
stood again gazing at the astounded
white man, then plunged into the Wild
erness and was lost to sight, although
the cracking of branches for some
time afterward betrayed it's hurried
progress through the woods.
Coming to the place where it had
stood when first seen, Mr. King found
that the wild creature had been en-
gagged at a little water hole in wash
ing edible grass roots, a pile Of the
cleaned roots, neatly made, resting at
one side of the hole No further meet

interals his curious cries, as he sat at

Offspring Of Ape and Indian.
There is no conclusive and satisfac-
tory explanation of the phenomenon.
Mr. King has brought the matter up
| time and again in his talks with the
Indians, whose confidence he enjoys.
Bit by bit he has patched together
their theory and tribal tradition, by
which it appears that they credit the
coming of the original wild man to
the days of the Spanish occupation of
certain of the west coast ports. At
one of these, Nootka, it is alleged,
an immense hairy creature, either

aboriginal inhabitants, proceeded to
make itself at home in the forest.
Thence it is alleged to have issued

stepped into it..
Take me to the hay wharfs," she
said.
The ivoshtshik stared, but the money
that was put into his hand was many
times the regular charge, and he did
not hesitate.
The hay wharfs on the Kur were in
themselves part of the show. Boats Of
