POSSES HUNT IN VAIN
state constabuIary scour the Woods
in Search Of His Hiding Place,
but Fail to Solve the Mystery
Appears Daily.

Malone, N. Y.-For several weeks
veritable reign Of terror has existed
lmong the people Of that part OF this
country, called the back woods"
which rejolces in the euphonious name
II Skerry. Women sleep i'll O. nights,
.hildren are kept from school, or
guarded by adults on their way there
md back, lonely females cover be-
lind locked doors and men wag their
heads In gossip as they ponder over
he puzzle Of the wild man, cause OF
Ill the pother.
That there Is Wild man inhabit-
ng the woods, appearing and disap-
)earing strangely in the more settled
districts, apparently content with
waving big club and threatening
children, seems beyond dispute. For
las he not been seen over and over
lgain by women and children, some
times clothed only In the garb of
Adam and sometimes wearing a
Iunny sack? And always he Is wav-
ng that big clubj.
Search In Vain.
The puzzle of the masculine popula-
ion OF Skerry is to find his hiding
place, for he has proved veritable
1t is generally con-
,eded that it must be in big swamp
on the Deer river, which is peculiarly
suitable setting for a modern Tarzan;
out this belief is due to the fact that
ae has not been found elsewhere
rather than to any evidence akin to
proof. Posses have been organized
and search of the woods made, and
he state constabulary of this village
have been called upon In vain to
solve the mystery.
This man appeared in Skerry about
the middle of last month. He was an
Irishman, was lame, and clothed in
overalls, without coat or hat. He in
luired of Abe Patton and, later, OF
Charles Trim, both Skerryites, the
way to a lumber camp, and received
from each minute directions to guide
him. No one has ever met him since,

unless he be the wild man, and APP
parently he never reached the camp.
The next day two woOdmen, named
La Hare and Payne, reported that
they had heard cries of some one In
trouble, coming from the woods, and
that they halloed and followed the
cries into the forest for fully three
hours without coming up with the
man. The wife OF La Hare has add
ed to the mystery by reporting that
on the same day she saw from a back
window Of her home strange man,
naked to the waist, holding his hands
above his head, and wandering through
the brush. Soon afterward he dis
appeared into the woods.
Makes Appearance Daily.
Since then almost daily there have
been reports of the mans appearance
and mysterious movements, but though
large numbers Of men have secured
the country for him, none has been
able even to get sight Of him. At
times as many as 100 men, under
Sheriff Steenberge and the state con-
stables have been engaged in this
search. Their failure has only added
to the nervous strain under which the
women of Skerry live, and which has
resulted in steps to protect children.
This action has been spurred by the
reports OF one boy chased by the man
with threats to kiln him with his club.
and OF little girl. left alone in her
home, who was terrorlzed by the ap.
pearance Of the man and his attempt
to force his way into the house. Upon
these reports state troopers made an
,ther attempt with the aid OF a police
dog to run the man down.

RADIO river. There is no authentic rec
ord of further explorations until over
200 years had elapsed. In 1776 two
Franciscan friars, In their attempt to
find the shortest way to the Pacific,
went from Santa TIE to Utah Lake. The
Great Salt Lake, however, was not dis
covered until 1924, when James
Bridges, a trapper, in wandering
through this region came upon this
huge, inland, salt sea.
But the real history of Utah begins
with the rise of Mormon power there.
Discouraged by the agitation in Illinois
and Missouri, the Mormons decided to
emigrate to the great West In large
caravans they travelled across the
plains and in 1847 came to Salt Lake
City where they settled. Here they
fourished, increasing their numbers
and by 1852 they reached total In
this vicinity Of over $4,000. Meanwhile
In 1S48, by the terms of the treaty OF
peace with Mexico, huge western
tract, of which Utah was part, was
coded to the United States. AS no
definite government was arranged for,
the control Of affairs locally was for
a number Of years entirely in the
hands Of the officers Of the Mormon
church. They, accordingly made up
q constitution and organized under
the name of the State of Deseret. This
is word taken from the Book OF
Mormon, and signifies, Industry" APP
plicatlon was made for admission TO
the Union, but this was refused and
the federal government instead organ
lied the Territory of Utah In 1850. The
first governor was Brigham Young, the
successor of Joseph Smith and presi-
dent of the Mormon church.
The attempt to do away with polyg-
amy met with little success until In
1890 the Mormon church finally agreed
not to countenance 1t. Meanwhile,
growing antagonism between the Nor
mons and Mormons verged nearly
on civil war. Finally a general am
nesty was declared and after many re-
quests Utah was accepted as the for
ty.hfth state Of the Union In 1893

THE STORY OF
OUR STATES
By JONATHAN BRACE
WYOMING
cClure Newspaper syndicste.)

~
NJ ~ gresS, in 1868, Gre
~ 81 ated the Territory Of
Wyoming from parts of Dakota, Utah
and Idaho, a constitution was adopted
which gave women the right to vote.
This was considered very revolution
airy at the time, but in Wyoming the
women have continued to have suf-
frage from that time and were thus
the pioneers in this movement, which
has now eliminated in the acceptance
of the nineteenth amendment to our
Constitution.
There were rumors of early Spanish
explorations in Wyoming but they
seem unfounded by fact. Probably the
first white men to visit this part Of
the country were Sieur de la Veren-
deze, and his sons who passed through
this region in 1743 In search of loca-
lions for trading posts. In 1904 the
Yellowstone was first visited by hunt
ers, although the fame of its scenic
beauty was not given much credence
until 1870 and it was set aside as
federal reserve in 1872.
The first permanent fort in Wyo-
ming was erected in 1884 where the
Laramie river flows into the Platte.
Later when the stream of immigrants
passed through this region on their
way to the California gold fields a
string of forts was erected along the
Oregon Trail to protect the travellers
from attacks by the hostile Sioux In
dams.
Through Wyoming went not only the
Oregon Trail, which was opened up
by Lieutenant Fremont and his guide,
Kit Carson, in 1912, but also the
Salt Lake trail. Along these
routes many travellers crossed WyO-
ming, but few stopped and settled
there as the country was the most
arid of all our states. The discovery
of gold in 1867 led to the founding of
South Pass City and in the same year
Cheyenne was laid out by the Union
Pacific Railroad company.
Wyoming became the forty-fourth
state of the Union in 1890 and is
eighth in size wifi an area of 1914
square miles. Its population gives 1t
an allotment of three presidential
voters. AS to its name, this comes
from that of Wyoming valley in Penn
sylvania, which is derived from an
Indian word meaning large plains
or "brOad valley"

take the position that many
consumers cannot afford to
go without delivery and

a household where there are
young children and not more
than one servant it would
probably be the most expen-

housewife to leave the house
80 that she might go to mar
ket and by personal inspec-
ton buy that type of goods
put up in sealed packages and
guaranteed by their makers
so that inspection before pur-
chase is neither possible nor
necessary. Such goods can
be bought quite as well by
