NAKED "WILD MAN" CAUGHT.
Long Island "Nude" Landed by Po.
llccman After Thirty Days.

New York The mystery surround
ing the appearance during the past 80
days of man at Whitestone, L. l.,
who crawled about on his hands and
knees and was devoid of clothing, was
solved when Policeman Mccormick
arrested the stranger under peculiar
circumstances.
In the icy air Mccormick was walk
ing along the shores OF Long Island
Sound at Whitestone, when he saw
the man who has caused such excite
meHt in the district. The bluecoat
started for the man, who promptly
ran and disappeared around corner.
Mccormick kept his eyes open all
day for the presumed lunatic, and fl
nalTy. while again walking along the
shore, saw the mans head protruding
from a hole made in the sloplng
beach. Mccormick arrested the un-
fortunate. who gave his name as Nor
ris Shear.
The prisoner was wholly unattired.
He had evidently dug out the sand to
make a cave had placed four flimsy
wooden posts outside of 1t, and over
the posts had spread newspapers.
Shear was taken to the Flushing
Police court. There he said he was
"a years old, was born in Ireland and
lived and worked in Whitestone. He
said: "T work for myself but no.
body pays me-"
Shear was held on charge Of vag-
rancy pending an examination into
his sanity. The police offered him a
nourishing meal. but he refused It and
said he subsisted entirely on bread. A
loaf Of bread was supplied and Shear
devoured II eagerly.

rules for division of financial obliga-
tons and for expression of popular

EffeCs OF Ncsmith's Formation.
The proposed county of Nesmith
would leave Lane county a long. mar
row strip, running from the sea across
the coast mountains and the william
cite to the mountains on the east.
Nearly all of its population would be
derived from the willamette section
tributary to Cottage Grove. From
Douglas county would be taken a
shoestring Of timber lands, sparsely
settled. 1t would deprive Douglas OF
only about so people. but would take
100000 worth of taxable property.
The Lane and Douglas Legislators
express determination to give the d.
vision bill a death thrust, 1t is prob
able the committee will report that
the legislature has no power to form
new county.

woman for whose good opinion he
would have risked anything capable of
being risked was trying to convince
herself-all against her better judg-
ment-that he was a hero quite supe-
rior to ordinary, everyday heroes; that
by some clever maneuver possible only
to ideal heroes he might circumvent
the evident design of fate to prevent
him from keeping his engagement and
make his appearance at about the hour
fixed in his letter of acceptance of her
invitation to spend the Christmas holt
days in Oriskany.
He had pictured it all so minutely.
She would be at the station to meet
him, and together they would walk
leisurely to her fathers house. That
house would be agleam with lights, and
holly wreaths would hang in every
window. OF curse there would be

- T had stopped showing. but the
wind still blew a hurricane. The
u sun was shining, but the air was
so filed with the drift that the
outside world was hidden from those
who tried to peer into it through FROST
&c windowpanes. Myles Fearing had
been trying to penetrate the simmer
ing mist, but he finally gave up the
attempt in disgust.
"How long am | likely to be held up
In this internal placer he wondered
audibly.
Reckon yell have a chance TO hang
up yer socks in that thar chimley,"
consoled his host, the proprietor OF
the comfortless little public house in
which he had taken refuge from the
storm when the stage which had
brought him thus far had succumbed
to the inevitable. "There won't be
anythin' leavin' here fore mornin',
anyways, and mebbe not then. Bet
ter make up yer mind to stay here
overnight. Sandy Claws is the only
feller likely to do any travelin' fer

Fearing did not take kindly to the
proposition. His knitted brows did
not relax, and he drummed viciously
against the frosted windowpane.
"For two cents" he threatened, I'D
cross the lake on foot"
Mine host shifted his quid and looked
properly serious. 81 wouldn't-not even
to spite the meanest life insurance

speeding at a rate that would have
made a bird envious.
Luckily there was nothing to oppose
its progress. The ice was in prime
condition and as smooth as crystal.
All the intrepid navigators had to do
was to keep the craft in position and
hang on for dear life. Fearing was
sport enough to enjoy the risky busi-
ness even Invested of its ultimate OBJ
ject, and the lad was too excited to
remember the financial end of the
matter. The seventeen miles and a
half were traversed with a speed that
must have made a new record In Ice

There were seven criminal cases before
the police court in this city last week
one for criminal assault, three for viola
ton of the prohibitory law and three for
breaking and entering-and all good cit
liens must appreciate the prompt and
efficient work of the authorities in ares
ting the offenders. In the cases of
breaking and entering the city marshal
and police did good work. In less than
twenty-four hours after the crimes were
committed the offenders were in custody.
There is special cause for congratulation
over the seizures on Cape Jellison.
Sheriff Carleton had been unjustly crit
icised for not breaking up the sale of
liquor there, and it had caused him much
concern. Let him or his deputies start
for the Cape and the wireless" would
be set at work and on his arrival there
would be nothing doing. This time he
resorted to stratagem. Deputy Little
field, who was not known on the Cape,
went over and got employment on the
dock, and was not long in finding out
where beer and hard liquor were dispens-
ed. A search and seizure followed and
two men were arrested and given the
usual sentence in the police court, from
which they appealed. A little later a
third man, who gave the officers the slip
when the others were arrested, was cap
tured and dealt with in like manner. In
all these cases the officers have done
their duty, the evidence in every case is
positive and conclusive, and it is now up
to the supreme court to fifty punish the
offenders. In one case at least the maxi
mum penalty should be imposed.

Last week we reported that two of the
largest stone contracting firms in the
country, the John PIERCE Co. and Will
lam Bradley & Sons, both controlled by
John Perce, had gone into the hands of
receiver, and since then the Mt. Waldo
Granite works, subsidiary company,
has had a receiver appointed. Hon.
William 7. Cobb of Rockland is the re-
ceiver for the latter company and passed
through Belfast last Saturday on his way
to Frankfort. His business ability and
knowledge of the granite business makes
his choice fortunate one for all con-
cerned. The Rockland Opinion voices the
regret of Maine people generally that
this embarrassment should have come to
Mr.. Peirce and all trust that it may prove
only temporary. 1t is understood to be
due to unexpected delay in making col
iections. Meanwhile work on the large
contracts under the hammer will be con-
tinued.

Leading Democrats seem to be occu-
pied just now in reading each other out
. Of the party. Bryan, who assumes to be
the supreme dictator, has tried his hand
at it, and now Roger Q. Mills, who served
for many years as one of Texas repre-
sentatives in the United States Senate
and the lower house of Congress and was
the author of the Mills tariff bill, has lost
faith IN the Democratic party. In let
ter written to a political friend in San

pass out of existence, for it has survived
its usefulness, and only serves now to
make humiliating spectacle to make

The city solicitor finds that the election
of tax collector at the June meeting of
the city government was illegal. In a
statement to this effect he says:
l. In the motion of Alderman Dickey
to instruct the clerk to cast the vote of
the convention, as it appears on the rec
ord, it does not specify for what the bal
lot was to be cast. The official record
says: ballot cast and c. H. Sargent de-
clared elected"
2. The clerk has no authority to vote
in the joint convention, nor has the con-
vention any authority to delegate that
power to another, especially one not a
member Of the city government.
In conclusion the city solicitor says:
f'There was no collector elected at the
meeting June 7th."

Charles W. Morse has been released on
bail and there is a growing sentiment
that he has been sufficiently punished for
methods of fnanciering followed by many
others who have succeeded in evading the
meshes of the law. He was driven to the
wall, as others have been before him, by
rival tinanciers, and of his fortune, esti-
mated at twenty millions, nothing is left.
That given his liberty he will retrieve his
fortunes there can be no doubt. He is a
man of untiring energy, sagacious and
resourceful. If he goes to prison he
should go in company with many others,
and not as a scapegoat for them.
