at the county Jail the only real live
wild man now in captivity in Wayne
county.
Yesterday afternoon a man clad on
ly in a pair of trousers and thin
cotton shirt, came to the home OF
Frank Seaney. one mile west of Bos-
ton. and asked for food. The man,
whose name is still unknown, after
being filled up on provender was ask
ed to depart. Farmer Seaney was not
used to entertaining wild men" but
SO pleased was the mysterious stran-
ger at the reception he had received
that he decided, overruling all pro,
tests, to spend at least part of the
summer on the Seaney estate.
Rumors had been floating around
the south part of the county that the
community was infested by real live
wild man. Farmer Seaney had heard
these rumors and he at once decided
his self invited guest was the wild
man in question, SO he communicated
with the authorities In Richmond.
Last evening, just as the sun was
sinking Deputy Sheriff Mashmeyel
drove up to the Seaney homestead
and inquired for the wild man.
