Grandmother Cuts ChildreD's Threats
and Kills Herself.

Eight children who, when captured,
looked and acted more like little wild ami
mails, have been placed in the children's
receiving home in Appleton. The tots.
who are doubtless brothers and sisters,
ranging in ages from 3 TO Is years, were
discovered in matched hut in the dense
woods near Tigerton by a hunter who
was lost in the woods and were brought
TO Appleton by Rev. Fred Brayton. trus-
tee OF the home, who located them after
long search. None of the children can
speak word of any Ineligible language,
although they appear to be of German
parentage. They grunt and squeal to
each other, but do not understand Ger
man, English, Polish or any of the other
languages which are spoken in Wiscon-
sin. When found in their little home in
the woods the children were huddled to-
gether IN corner of the rude hut, pie
OF dead grass and leaves being their bed.
Their clothing consisted of skins. Woods
men state that a few years ago a wild
or insane man was seen in the woods in
the vicinity of the thicket near Tigerton.
but no human being could get close to
him and it is now believed that he was
the father of the eight children who have
been rescued. The children will be kept
at the home until educated and then will
be placed in private German families.

Neenah, died with needle piercing his
heart. A few days ago while scuffiing

needle in Arneman's coat in such a way
