Wanted for a criminal attack
on a 1O-year-old white girl here
Tuesday, Leon Fry, II, cololed,
was delivered at the Jail late
yesterday by former Sheriff
Nathan Sedwicl, his employer.
The Jail is an insecure affair.
Feeling against the youth is said
to be bitter at Luray and in the
surrounding countryside.
Quick Trial Promised
Authorities said, however, that
Fry has always had an excellent
reputation and they feared no
attempt at a lynching. An early
trial has been promised.
Fry was brought in after
posses had vainly secured nearby
mountains in two-day search for
him. He had been questioned
Tuesday about the assault and
freed when there appeared to be
insufficient evidence to hold him.
Flees To Hills
Early Wednesday it was decided
to arrest him again. He was
seen by Deputy Sheriff Dave Fox,
who fired three shots at him. Fry
fled toward the hills.
Late yesterday the boy gave
himself over to Sedwick, who had
employed him since he was
small child. Sedwick maintains
his belief in the youths inno-
Cence.
The victim of the attack, physi.
clans attending her say, is in a
serious condition.

THE WILD MEN OF BoRNEo

THERE were two of them, It
L. seems, "Waino and Plutano, the
only original wild men of Borneo,"
according to Professor Hutchins,
lecturer" at old Austin and Stones
in Boston. The open-mOuthed crowd,
led on by his story of how old
Captain Hammond landed at BOr-
neO and after a terrific battle cap
tured the two specimens of natives
within, paid out the 1919 cents ad-
mission fee and passed eagerly in
side. What they saw were two
dwarfs, not much more than three
feet high apiece, whose long fair
hair and boards, and features were
obviously Teutonic: who howled and
grunted in true wild man style and
performed amazing feats of strength.
Just who Waino and Plutano
were we will never know. They
were born about 1925, it is said, of
some German farming family living
near Weston, Mass, which did not
care to claim as its own two cir
Gus freaks. Deaf mutes and of slug
gish mentality, they led a secluded
youth. Their public life began un-
der the management of Fl. A. O..
Warner, veteran Snowman of Wal
than, who accompanied them on the
road and gave them q home during
off seasons. Dressed in tights and
trained to roar and shake their
struggling boards at curious little
boys, the odd pair were enormously
successful as wild men,. 1t is said
they were at one time receiving
$500 a week for showing. Waino
died in 1902. Plutano, though Grip
pied by injuries received when he
tried to lift fat man from the au-
dience, lost his balance and fell,
with the 300 pounds on top of him,
lived until 1912.

NATIVE EXPLAINS
BUSH TELEGRAPHY

For many years white men have
been puzzled by the uncanny way in
which the Australian aborigines can
communicate with one another over
long distances without any apparent
means. This has been known as
bush telegraphy.
An explanation has just been Civ
en- by David UnaipOn, an educated
Australian aborigine. Bush telegra-
ply, he explained, was developed by
an intense form of discipline started
in youth, by which the young abOrig-
inc learns to detach himself from
his surroundings. First he is taught
to eat only when his body needs
nourishment, and then to fast.
The supreme test of fasting for
boy is that he should walk for three
days without food, and then on the
fourth day eat one days ratiOns.
When it is desired to cOmmuni-
cate with another aborigine at
distance a smoke signal is made by
a man who concentrates on the mes
sage he wishes to send. The recipi
ent of the message also frees his
mind from all outside influences to
receive the telepathic message.
"Ore morning" explained UnaipOn,
81 was sitting in Sydney and trying
to write, when a message came to
me that my wife in South Australia
was dead. Next day a telegram came
to tell me what l already knew.
learned afterwards that my wife's
mother had sent the original message
to me by the bush telegraphic
method"

WHO WAS
WHO?
By Louise NJ. Comstock
I I
WE

WE? Is there anyone who was
w alive and able to read the
newspaper on May 80, 1927, to
whom that word is not magic, re-
calling the glamor and excitement
with which the world received the
news that Charles Lindbergh, in
the mOnoplane the Spirit of st.
Louis, had made the worlds first
nonstop flight across the Atlantic?
All during the hectic days that
followed that heroic flight, when
Lindbergh was being paraded and
feted and called upon TO make
speeches, he frequently used the
plural pronoun ''we' in speaking of
his trip. Ambassador Herrick ex-
planned to the newspaper men that
the flyer used I'VE" to refer to him
self and his trusty plane, and the
idea captivated popular fancy. The
very fact that Lindbergh had made
the trip alone somehow assigned to
HIS pldue SHdle VI Ills lIIuIupi,
and an association with him that
was almost human. Lindbergh be-
came the Lone Eagle" and Lind
bergh flying the Spirit of st. Louis
became just "we." Consequently 1t
might, perhaps, be just a bit diff
suit to convince Lindbergh's mil
lions of admirers that, as a matter
Of fact, he didn't use I'VE" in that
sense at all. His own explanation
is that he used it to indicate himself
and the hackers of his flight, Major
Robertson of the Robertson Air
craft company, Harry Knight and
the other business men of st. Louis

ODD INDUSTRIES"
IN BRITISH ISLES

ALMOST under the shadow of West
minister cathedral is a narrow thor
Oughfare called Strutton ground, and
here you will find an Armenian who
claims to be the only outdoor re-
pairer of timepieces in London and
perhaps in England. He will mend
your watch while you wait. says a
writer in Pearson's Weekly.
"Bottler of smoke" is surely one
of the oldest of professions, yet in
the census returns we find one per-
son who so describes himself. The
smoke comes from hickory logs and
no doubt is used for the curing of
bacon. Less puzzling is the indus
try of collecting walrus whiskers,
which has only one follower in. the
British isles. These walrus whiSkers
go to the East, where wealthy Chin
ese prize them as toOthpicks.
There are two lighthouse builders
in England, but only one man who
sells his skin for IL living. This
man, formerly a mechanic, saw one
day an advertisement asking for a
healthy subject who would consent
to sell a portion of his skin to be
grated on the face of a rich mans
child who had been badly burned.
He got two hundred pounds for his
trouble and has since been in hos
pitals in various parts of the world
on similar missions.

BRODIE

THE first ''brodie" in history was
l. performed by Steve Brodie him
self, who in 1886 leaped from Brook
lyn bridge into East river and into a
prominent place for the next ffty
years in our slang vocabulary.
Steve started out as professional
walker. But he lost the money he
made walking long distances in rec
ord time, tried bootblacking and for
some time was street car conductor.
In 1886, according to his own story,
he was offered $25 to jump off High
bridge. He did it, and placed the
SO on a horse named Bill Green to
win $420. About that time a man
named Odlum had lost his life Jump
ing from Brooklyn bridge. Steve
said the jump really was an easy
one and was bet 500 he wouldn't
do it. Said Steve, "Pd rather be
dead than broke, any day." and de-
cided to try for the hundred. He
took out 1000 life insurance, gave
his wife final instructions, and on
July % jumped off Brooklyn bridge
and landed without a scratch. The
life insurance company, incensed at
this careless risk of their ST 200.
made him take back his premium
and Cancelled the policy!
From then on Steve Brodie was
a professional jumper. For a time
he earned 500 a week in a melo-
drama called ''Blackmail," in which
his part necessitated diving from a
great height into a trap below.
