HOULTON, Me-, June 9.-The
long arm of the law today had
reached out into the wilderness Of
Aroostook county and plucked
Adam and Eve Sutter from their
modern Garden of Eden.
Two game wardens Of the State
department Of Inland Fisheries and
Game checked the Suffers in their
experiment to live six weeks in
the woods as primitive man and
woman, wrestling their living from
nature with their bare hands.
Hunting Without License.
Chief Game Wardens +. Z. Jer.
gensen, of Ashland, and Howard
Wood, Of Patten, arrested Adam
and Eve as they came out Of the
woods to meet the Cosmopolitan
News Service reporter to whom
they have been relating their thrill
ling experiences.
Adam and Eve surrendered and
were taken before Judge James
Archibald. charged with violation
Of the game laws.
The Suffers are specifically
charged with:
l-Iunting without q license.
2-Fishlng without n license.
3-Camping and building fires
without q guide.
4-Killing deer In closed season.
b-kuling partridge in closed
season.
The wardens acted under orders
Of the State department in Augusta
after a number Of complaints had
been filed by residents and guides
who resented the success Of the
Suffers experiment
When Adam and Eve first entered
the woods 1t was said they could
never accomplish the thing which
they had set out to do.
When II was seen. however, that
Adam and Eve were actually going
through with the thing, local ami
mostly mounted higher and higher.
Complaints were lodged with the
State game warcens urging the i'm
mediate arrest Of Adam and Eve.
Woods and Jergensen went into
the woods and vainly searched for
two days for Adam and Eve. Yes
terday the officers were guided to
the meeting place by the Cosmopoli-
tan News Service reporter. The
Suffers took their arrest stoically.
Eve to Go Free.
1t is believed the court will dis
miss the charge against Mrs. Sutter.
when We came to seek the Sut-
ters. we were certain that the thing
was a fake" said Mr.. Woods. Put
l know that II wasn't a fake, ana
don't see how they did It. don't
believe there Is a woman in the State
OF Maine who would go through
what Mrs. Sutter did and come out
in as good physical condition. She
Is a wonder and her husband one OF
the best woodsmen ever met IN my
life. He could have eluded us for
days" i
was Adams solemn comment.
II he decides to re-enter the woods
mails and live wholly upon the voge-
tation that is now springing up IN
the forest. But this would be Il most
difficult undertaking.
They Eat q Meal.
Instead Of being quartered in the
county Jail Adam and Eve are oc-
cupying comfortable rooms in the
towns best hotel. Last night they
ate their first civilized meal in
three weeks. Crowds of curious
persons jammed into the railway
station when the train arrived from
Howebrook.
Adam and Eve got their first
look at civilization when they came
out Of the woods and gazed down
across a little hollow to the strag.
Cling group Of houses known as
Pridesmills. In one of these
houses they left their clothes three
weeks ago. Sutter shaved off three
weeks growth OF red beard.
The mystery of the recent sudden
disappearance Of Adam and Eve
Sutter has been solved. They were
playing hide and seek with a party
Of sportsmen, local guides and peep
ing toms OF the woods. For three
days Adam and Eve had led their
pursuers a merry chase through the
forest land and were laughing up
their birch .bark sleeves at the futile
efforts Of the expeditionary force.
This pursuing party was composed
partly OF local characters, whose jeal.
ousy mounted higher with each day
that Adam and Eve succeeded in
beating nature at her own game,
partly Of tough lumbermen out OF
Jobs. and partly of moneyed men
from New York. who came here pri.
marily to fish.
Skeptics Disappointed.
Lure OF Ewes unclothed state was
back Of their effort to dig the Suffers
out OF their woodland home. Like
wise. the belief that the Suffers ex.
