TRAPPING A SOLDIER WILD MAN
By NORRIS y. ATKINSON

TATHILE I was hunting in the
NV province of Bengal with Of
" fcers belonging to the Sew
enth native infantry we got
word one day that a wild man had
been seen in jungle ten miles away.
The man was a native who had serv-
ed for several years as a soldier, and
he. had good military record and was
known to be of peaceful disposition.
One day while on scout through the
forest with his company he was bit
ten on the neck by a spider. The
wound gave him great pain, and he
was sent back to the hospital for treat
ment. He was under the surgeons
care for ten days and was discharged
as cured, but one morning when at
drill he suddenly began whooping and
shouting and acting in singular man
ner. When his comrades attempted to
restrain him he became violent, and,
casting them off, he bolted across the
parade and down the road. He was
pursued, but he gained the forest, a
mile away, ahead of all, and was sue
cessfu1 in hiding himself. A long
search had been made for him at the
time, but without avail.
We moved across the country and To-
Gated in a village, and next morning a
dozen natives were sent out on a scout
They were back before noon with the
news that the wild man had moved his
retreat about five miles to the east
He was evidently afraid of US. He had
taken refuge in another jungle near
another village, and we broke camp
and rode down to the place and beat
up the thickets for hours
We caught sight of the man once or
twice, but he was long way off and
acted as if he suspected a trap. Next
day he was twelve miles away, and
in the course of week he had trav-
eled sixty miles. When he moved we
moved after him.
Our persistent pursuit had the effect
of putting him in a passion, for on the
sixth day of the chase, as we were en-
route to a village near which he had
gone into hiding, he entered the place
shouting in fury and slew five people
with his club. He had stripped off
most of his clothing and was naked
from the waist up. After the killings
he fired several huts and ran away,
| hiding in a ravine.
1t was now evident that we must
change our tactics. If the man was
enraged he might attack US at any
moment, and if he did so we should
have to fire on him in self defense.
The ravine in which he was con-
cealed was about a mile long and at
the lower end opened into a path much
used by the natives. If the wild man
was not hunted out or alarmed he
probably would come down the ravine
and enter this path.
| After looking the ground over it was
decided to dig pitfa1 and set some
traps along the path, and soon after
