IRELAND HAS 4
REAL WILD MAN
WHO LIVES LIKE A PRE-.
HISTORIC SAVAGE RoAMs
DEsoLATE DISTRICTS.
FLEES FROM HIS FELLoWMEN
Although Said to Be Three Score ano
Ten Years Old He Is an Adept
at Catching Fish
and Game.

Dublin.-Certain villages in Ireland
are ringing with the story of wild
man who lives in the woods and eats
peds, just like prehistoric savage.
He has silvery locks, long, snow
white beard. He dresses in garments
old, scanty, tattered and torn. 1t is
said he has never had a home-that
the whole of his wretched three score
and ten years, or Whereabouts, have
been spent in the open air-and that
as far as is known he has no name.
The story told of him by the peaSantry
is that he was dumped on desolate
Irish moor when a little child by a
| loathsome, vagabond mother of, ter
rible to say, gentle birth and educa-
| ton, and that alone ne has wandered
ever since, fleeing from his fellowmen
as though some wild, timid creature
Of the night, and making his home in
the densest woods and on the most
lonesome commons and wastes.
| 1t is said, though doubtless no one
knows for certain, that the man can
not talk plainly and that his vocabu>
larry is limited to but score of words
Or so. In the more poverty-stricken
and desolate districts in the Emerald
Isle the man is familiar to most of
the peasantry, who give him clothes
from time to time. The clothes are
dropped to the ground, and when the
givers have gone to distance, then
and only then will he come and pick
them up. AS a rule no sooner has he
got them in his hands than he runs
off as fast as his legs can carry him.
Food he will accept from no one.

and cartridges when the birds are
asleep in the night, and even graf
fish from streams with his hands.
There is story that several years
age he fell in love with a beautiful
peasant lass, whose home he haunted
every night, bowling hideously. Yet
he did not see the object of his affec-
tions on more than few occasions,
and never nearer than 100 yards or so.
The girls parents, intensely super
stitious like most Irish people, were
afraid to adopt any means to put a
stop to the annoyance. Another of the
colleen's admirers, however, was
holder, and one pitch black night,
concealing himself in some brush
wood, fired off gun within a yard or
so of the man as he was emitting one
of his loudest bowls. The old lunatic
fed, and from that time his visits
ceased, and he has not been seen in
the vicinity since.

The Holdren bin provides that
whenever the gas supply in Kansas
gets low for any reason whatever
and difficulty is experienced in sup
plying the Kansas people with nat
ural gas, that then the sale of gas to
any persons or concerns outside OF
the state is prohibited under the pen
atty. The effect of this would be to
shut off Kansas City. Mo-, st. Joseph
and Joplin, three towns that now are
large consumers of natural gas from
the Kansas fields, whenever the sup
ply is weak. This would mean the
working of a very great hardship,
for at any time that the pressure be
comes weakened the flow of gas out
side would have to be cut of.

Topeka, Kan, Jan. 2S.-The house
passed two bank deposit bills and is
considering a third. The bills passed
were the state guaranty bill that was
formed by the special committee Sat
urday and the bill providing that a
bank may give a personal or surety
bond to the state of Kansas that will
provide for the guaranteeing of all
deposits in that bank. This is known
as the Wells bill, and is the only real
guaranty bill being considered. 1t
provides that if bank does not want
to participate in the state guaranty
plan it may give it's bond that all of
its deposits will be paid and the sign
ers of the bond will be required to
pay any deficit which a failed bank
owes its depositors after the assets
are exhausted. The bill now under
discussion is the law to permit the
organization of an insurance company
to insure bank deposits.
The house fused all the morning
over the question whether the bank
|
allowed to come into the guaranty
fund. The bankers argued that time
deposits were a loan and an invest
ment instead of strict deposit and
bearing interest was not entitled to
having the money guaranteed any
more than man who makes personal
loans. Others contended that all de-
posits were loans, and that one set
Of deposits should not be guaranteed
any more than the others, except
those deposits which were already Sc
cured by bonds, such as state and
county deposits.
Gov. Hoch stated this morning that
he has not yet received the letter al
legged to have been written week
ago by Comptroller Ridgley, in which
Mr.. Ridgley is said to have declared
that national banks cannot participate
in the state guarantee deposit law

Topeka, Kan, Jan. 25.-The special
committee appointed last night to
frame a guaranty bill for state bank
deposits completed a measure today.
The fund is to be termed the bank
depositors' indemnity fund.-" so as to
entirely divorce it from ideas, that
the state is the guarantor. A mil
lion dollars is to be raised by an as
upon the average daily deposits &C
cording to the last called statement
of the bank commissioner. Partici-
patton is to be optional and national
banks are invited to join if they care
to and can do so.
The bank commissioner has sole
charge of the fund, and the money is
to be in the custody of the state
treasurer. Whenever a participating
bank fails the bank commissioner
takes charge and pays the liabilities
up to where they meet the available
assets. The bank can then be clos
ed or reorganized. The fund can be
loaned out at per cent interest sub
ject to call, the interest returning to
the fund. Penalties are provided as
punishment for banks who advertise
that the state guarantees their de-
posits.
The committee also framed up the
Wells bill providing that a bank may
give the bank commissioner a bond
for the deposits in excess of its CAPT
tai stock.
The house judiciary committee, to
which was referred the Holdren nat
ural gas bill, will report that legal
obstacles are contained in the meas
ure which make it absolutely uncon
stitutional on these two grounds:
1t is an interference CT interstate
commerce; it will compel the viola
ton of the contract between the gas
producing and piping companies and
the foreign consumers.

Irishman. He had been shaved the dny
before and his clothes were In good
condition. Near him was found a comh
and a looking glass, which leads the
police to believe that the motive for
the crime might possibly have been
robbery.
1t Is thought that the man may have
been lured TO the desOIate sand nit
by thieves and then ruthIessIy killed
in order that the theft of his vaIu-
abIes might be covered up.
Another theory is that the man yvas

put him out of the way.

kept at Jones' undertaking establish

Lowell. Ind, May 5.-(SpeciaI.) )-This
peaceful town is rocked to the center
today by the news that one OF it's in-
habitants, Albert Baker, who mar
rfed Veda Cobb, a daughter OF Charles
Cobb, was arrested this morning on
the charge of having killed man in
GAINESVILLE. o., three years ago. The
arrest was made by "Jaclv Horst,
Sheriff Carter's deputy, and Barker,
whose right name is said to De George
Dennis, has been taken to Crown
Point, from where he win he taken to
Znnesxille for an examination.
In the eyes of Lowell people. Baker
is still an innocent man, his behavior
during his years residence in Lowell,
where he was employed the stone
road. was exemplary and the family
into which he married. is among the
most respectable ones in the neighbor-
hood. Charles Cobb, the father-in-law
of the man arrested, is a farmer living
near Lowell.
The GAINESVILLE authorities have been
looking for their man ever since the
murder, they having never been able
to put their hands on him. The last
they heard of him was when he was at
Momence, Ill. year ago.
They claim to have received their
latest clew, through a letter that the
alleged murderer is said to have writ
ten to his mother in Zaneszille, some
time ago
Immediately telegram was sent to
Marshal C. J. Belshaw at Lowell from
the GAINESVILLE authorities asking him
whether there was man named
Baker in Lowell The description that
the Lowell marshall received varied
somewhat with the appearance of
Baker. nevertheless Sheriff Carter was
asked to place the man under arrest.
Baker made no resistance but pro-
tes teu mis- Innocence. His wife and her
family were almost unnerved by the
sudden shock of the news that Baker
should have been put under arrset on
the charge of murder. There was
nothing in the behavior of Baker in
the past year that would mark him
a desperate character. and his ac-
quaintances are generous enough to
believe him innocent until he is proven
guilty It is hardly believed In Lowell
that a man who has the stamp of a
murder on him would seek out the lit
tie town of Lowell and there add an
other crime be deceiving an innocent
girl into marriage. 1t is this thought,
however, that is causing deep mutter-
ings Of retribution in some quarters
among those who are considering the
results If it should be established that
Baker is but an alias for George Den
mis-, the GAINESVILLE murderer. The
GAINESVILLE murder occurred three years
ago when Dennis in an alteration
with another man, picked up a brick
and threw 1t at him killing him,
