CAME WARDENS CAPTURE
FISH POACHERS' CLOTHES
Men Forced to Abandon Civilized
Dress While SEEMING on
Private Estate

CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-Fauns and satyrs
are gone with the myths Of ancient
Rome, but an eXemplification of their
methods of roaming the forest naked
was given all day Sunday and yester-
day by five men who were sent sour
rying clothesless through the forest of
Arden, county seat of H. N Higin-
botham of Chicago by game wardens.
The five who impersonated the wood
fauns of NEUROLOGICAL days were not
doing it for mere pleasure. They were
as free of the clothes of civilization as
the fish that were the indirect cause
of the enforced sojourn in the woods.
The immediate cause was the mai
esty of the law, represented by Dep
uty Game Warder Werner and his as
sistants. They discovered the five
seining in Hickory creek. Three were
beating fish upstream to net held
by two others. The seiners discovered
the presence of the officers almost as
soon as they came within hearing dis
tance, but the wardens seized the
fishermen's clothes. The fishermen
other side and dashed for tall timber,
the wardens after them.
The fugitiVes lived next to nature
all Sunday, dav and night. Yesterday
a woman telephoned to the police that
she had seen five wild men running
naked in the woods near her home.
While this is the latest definite re-
port of their appearance in the guise
of Pan, the warden believes the men
are still roaming the forest, because
they dare not come out to get clothes
and "can find no fig tree in the north
ern woods"
