INSANE MAN CAUGHT .
 AFTER LONG CHASE
Terrorizes Town by Antics and Making Threats Against Former PreSi-
 dent Roosevelt.

Guilford, Aug. 16-Striding through the streets of North Guilford yes terday uttering abusive language and making threats against Theodore Roosevelt, an insane man spread terror among the residents of the last night gave his pursuers an exhl- bition of physical endurance that was considered little short of mar vicious. Women locked themselves in their houses as he appeared in the town and a camp of boys, which he approached took to precip ipitate flight. The man came from the di- rection of Lake Quonnipaug, large body of water north of North Gull ford, and after spending some time in the village disappeared again in the direction of the lake.
 A number of men on their return home at night started in pursuit of him, the number being increased as the chase continued. When they located the man on the shores of the lake he plunged into the water without removing his clothing. The men pursued him in boats but he eluded them without difficulty re- maining in the water about an hour. Afterwards he swam ashore disrObed and returned to the water for another half hour. Meantime a constable sum- moned from Guilford had arrived and finally persuaded him to surrender. The man was then brought to Guil- ford and locked up. Today brother George Hall, came from Meriden and took him to that city physician who examined him said that the man was undoubtedly insane.
 Nothing is known of the man here beyond the fact that his name Is Hall.

Six Members of Party Arrive Today at Nome, Alaska, With Valuable Speci- mems and Data to Be Sent to Otta- wa, Canada.

Nome, Alaska, Aug. 16.-Vilh1alnur otefansson, the Canadian Arctic ex- plorer who went into the polar regions in the summer of 1913, probably will not return to civilization during the present season, but will continue his work of exploring newly discovered land north of Prince Patrick land This news was brought by six members of the Stefansson party who returned here today on the power schooner Alaska.
 The party aboard the Alaska was under Dr. Rudolph Anderson, Stefans- sons chief subordinate, who had been exploring and charting the coast line bordering Union and Dolphin straits and the Coronation Gulf region, far east of the mouth of the Mackenzie river.
 All of the party which left here on the Alaska in July, 1913, returned with the exception of Daniel Blue, en- gineer, who died at Bailey Island in May. 1915. The members of the party here are: pr. Anderson, J. J. O'Neiu, geologist; John R. Cox, surveyor; Dr. Jenness, anthropologist; J. J. Johnson oceanogra pher and entomologist, and George Wilkins, photographer. The schooner was under the command of Capt. Sweeney, who joined the expe- dition while it was in Arctic waters The entire party was in good physi- cal condition and expressed them selves as having enjoyed their long Arctic experience despite the many hardships encountered.
 Live in Unknown Land.
 Most of the time since the spring of 1914 the party has been in quar- ters at Bernard Harbor on Coronation Gulf east of the Mackenzie river, one of the least known sections of the habitable earth.
 The last member of the party to see Stefansson was the photographer, Will kins, who was one of those who de- parted from the Karluk shortly before that vessel was carried away in the grip of the northern ice in the fall of 1913 and later crushed near Herald Islands Wilkins was with Stefansson last winter, having rejoined him last year. After spending some time with the StefanssOn party Wilkins made the trip over the ice to Coronation Gulf and joined the Anderson party.
 Most of the scientific work of the expedition has been carried on by this branch party. The first winter after leaving Nome, the party spent at Man ming Point near Camden bay, after having failed to find a passage through the heavy ice to the eastward. The following spring pr. Anderson pro- ceeded to the east and reached Cor OnatiOn Gulf during the summer of 1914. Quarters which were estab-
