Wild man
ROAMs WOODS
Mysterious Creature Who Lives
In Trees In Kan
SaS.

Hutchinson, Kan, August "A
wild man, who lives on berries and
green corn stolen from farmers
fields, is haunting the marsh land in
the district ten miles northwest of
Sylvia on the border of Reno and
Stafford counties.
Three times within the last two
weeks the man has been seen. Twice
at some distance and the third time
face to face. Each time the man
let out a wild shrek and ran, hiding
in the trees and bushes. Once his
nest-a pile of leaves and grass in
an old tree-was found. 1t was ear
ly in the morning and the place was
still warm from the heat of his body.
When persons returned to the place
again the wild man returned and
scattered the leaves and grass all
bout.
Nerly two weeks ago the man
was seen for the first time. He was
only partly dressed, having only a
tattered pair of trousers and the
fragment of a shirt, no hat and no
shoes His hair is long and flowing
beard covers the lower part of his
face, giving him wild appearance.
Roasting ears partly eaten while
uncooked and tracks in a cOrfield
caused farmer living ten miles
northwest of Sylvia to follow the
tracks. The man was seen at some
distance. He ran into some bushes
and disappeared.
A farmers daughter crossing a
pature saw the wild man in a small
stream. When he saw her he let
out yell and ran. She ran too. and
the rural telephone wires soon col
lected party of searchers who arm
! ed themselves and started on the
hunt. It was then that the mans
nest in the tree was found, but the
man himself was not seen.
A farmer named THOMAS was go
ing across a field on "Wednesday OF
last week and crawled through a
hedge. He saw a man lying in the
shade of the hedge apparently asleep
When he approached him the man
sprung up. gave a wild whoop and
ran 1t was the wild man.
Thomas aroused the neighborhood
and a search was mde to find the
wild man. but his trail was lost in the
deep grass near the marshes.
Two men who have been harvest
ing in the neighborhood of the Eng
lish and Keeling farms returned
home telling of the wild man. The
farmers of the neighborhood think
he is ONE insane person.
The man is described as about SO
years of age. feet or 9 inches in
height and weighing about lac
pounds. His beard and hair are
streaked with gray.

J Pledged to Him Uncon-
ditionally.

Lexington, KY, August 2.-Bos-
worth has withdrawn from the race
for governor. He released uncondi-
tionally those who were pledged to
him. He says the race has drifted
into straight out fight between the
county unit and statewide. His
withdrawal, he says, is made in the
interest of party harmony and Demo-
cratic success in November.
T Mr.. BoswOrth's statement of with
drawal follows:
ITO the Democratic Voters Of
Kentucky: The race for the Demo-
cratic nomination for governor of
this great commonwealth is rapidly
drifting. has drifted, l might say,
into a straight-out fight for the
county unit law as against the
adoption of statewide prohibition.
81 have, after taking counsel with
friends, arrived at the conclusion
that 1t is better that l sacrifice my
personal ambition than to endanger
the welfare of the party, which I
love and desire to continue in power
at Frankfort and Washington.
Therefore. 1 hereby withdraw
from the contest for the nomination
You have thrice nominated and
twice elected me to important Of
fees in the administration of the af-
fairs of this commonwealth and am
deeply appreciative of the honor you
have thus bestowed upon me. 1t is
this appreciation. coupled with my
love Of our party. that has prompted
me to take this step, which I am
constrained to believe may be long
stride in the direction of party
unity and Democratic success in No
vember.
with the knowledge that thou
sands of you are anxious to endorse
my faithful services in the interest
of the people, especially my several
years endeavor to equalize the
weight of taxation in this state and
to compel the powerful corporations
owning the railroads and other pub
lie service companies to pay their
just proportion of the tax, l cannot
refrain from saying that l have been
reluctant to take this step. but hav-
ing so decided, l now release all
who were pledged to me to vote for
whom they shall choose, hoping that
it may eventualize to the best in
terest of the party.
Thanking all Of my friends for
their loyal support. am very re-
spectfully,

Congress to Meet In Rochester to
Adopt Means For Our
Defense.

Rochester, Aug 4.-The meeting
of the American Public Health As
ISOLATION, which Is scheduled for this
city for the week of September 6, In
many OF its aspects is a meeting OF
extraordinary significance to the
whole country. II is not only the
forty-third annual convention of the
Public Health Association. but 1t Is
also the fifteenth annual convention
of the Sanitary Officers Association.
The American Public Health Associa-
ton comes here on the invitation OF
the Rochester Public Health Associa-
ton, although 1t is really the guest
OF the whole state. as is indicated by
the announcement of DIR. Herman
Biggs, State Commissioner OF Health.
ut is certain that this will be the
greatest public healh gathering ever
held within the State of New York"
says Mr.. Biggs. This opportunity
offered to health workers through
out the country is unique. TIE re-
cent strides of health work throuh-
out America and the pressing neces-
sity for increasing vigilance against
epidemic diseases owing to the war
In Europe, makes this conference OF
peculiar significance"
The preliminary announcement OF
the Health Association also calls at
tention to the serious responsibilities
placed on health workers by the Eu-
ropean war
Hitherto our call has been simply
a stirring metaphor appealing for re-
newed activity and aggressiveness in
the never-ending warfare against
disease" says Prof. T. Sedgwick, of
Boston, President of the American
Public Health Association. This
year-likely to be forever memorable
with shame and horror-it becomes
a warning for preparation and de-
Tense, as we'll as for renewed activity
looking toward ultimate prevention.
This year we must beseech all
the Americans to prepare to deal
with unusual invasions Of minute,
mostly invisible, but often multitu-
dious and powerful enemies. We must
defend American cities and American
homes against typhus as well os ty-
phaid, against Asiatic cholera as well
as smallpox and against bubonie
plague as well as dysentery. Mean
while, cancer and inanition. poverty
and unemployment, gluttony and in
temperance uncleanness, bad air and
perverted appetites will not abate.
but rather accelerate their activities
because of war and its evil influence
upon public health.
"while, therefore. we hope to re-
main neutral witnesses OF those IT,
tanic commissions of human nature
now devasting Europe, we must be
more than ever ready to bear arms
and go to war-but, happily, in a
campaign not detested but universal
ly applauded.
LET us then foregather and con-
centrate our forces at Rochester ear
Iy in September, for re-eniistment
with an honorable company of the

of what is to be proposed by the
Washington administration. Prompt

morally and financially by the United
States and the other American gov

not do this the United States. aided
