EDGEWATER, N. j., Dec. 49,
Proclaiming himself to be John
the Baptist, come to save the
world, an armed fanatic, wrought
up to high pitch of maniacal
fury, terrorized this village for a
full hour, appearing suddenly on
the main street, waving his re-
volver, holding up the proprietors
of several stores, exchanging many
shots with a hastily formed posse
and at last being wounded himself,
when the police and mob of citi-
zens ran him down.
In all the fusillade no one but
the maniac was hit, and his
wounds are not regarded as fatal.
