C., Oct. 19.—For months past there have been rumors _of a terrible apparition which has trightened all the women and chil- dren in Clear Creek township. The women say that tor two weeks they haye been subject terrifying visits, in the absence of th hus- bands, f1om a creature like a_ shiny negress, with long hair and She asks in hardly to to eat, and makes efforts to get hold ot the children. The men, getting tured of the fears of their wives, de- termined to try to catch the creature, and for the last week crowds of far- and mghtdy chasing her, without success. The first effort to catch her was made a/ week ago by Joha Roberts, a black- smith. Tne wild creature had ap- peared several times at a fire which it was the habit of Cortey Moore, colored, of the neighborhood, to hight atter dark in the yard of. his house for the preperation of his | meals. Roberts was put there to | watch tor her and she appeared even before the flames were well kindled. | She presented such a wild look in} the half light and asked tor food’ in | such a wild fashion that Roberts was | j i demoralized. _ He recovered how- | ever, made an outcry and attempted to sieze the woman, but she slipped | through his hands and disappared :n | the dark shadows of the woods. | Tuesday morning Mannar Stephen Cawell caught sight of the creature and chased her across an open field. He was badly hurt in his efforts to keep up with her, and reported that | she outran a buck and cleared four | corn rows at a leap. That same} night she was again enticed from the gloom of the woods by the kindling of a fire and was chased by thirty men, without success. Capt. Marsh Allen later in the day met her in the neighborhood, with her face torn and bleeding and 2 long bloody knife in har hand. The creature was naked and so unearthly and terrible looking to him that he savs he is not sure it is a human being. Her hair reached almost to her feet, but was kinky like thatof the African. It is not mere fright that has caused the coun- try people to organize in their at- tempts to catch the creature which has been living in the forests and swamps for a year or more. Some | months ago, it 1s reported, an infant | yard while they were in the cornfield | and was never heard from, and the dis- appearance was from that section ot the country in which the wild woman has been seen, and mother: and black, are in terror for fear their little ones may also become food for the cannibal negress.

Quietly the players began to bet. to mid- the milhonaire called his op onent. | When the Minister laid down his | four kings the banker put his straight flush beside them without a word. The Mhnister seemed a little sur prised, but merely said: ‘*Very good the; the money is yous.”” He had lost $300,000, but it did not | | sour him a bit. The game was not} resumed, but he talked as pleasantly as if he had won a fortune instead of losing one. The banker seemed | jembarassed, and his friends who} had dropped out of the game, were uncomfortable.

The frame | has two feet, turnished with castors, each one of which has a universal pose of surrounding a swamp in which the creature is known to be | hid.

By the more intelligent farmers from that section the theory is adyanced that the creature is some _half-witted woman, who has been so long hunted down that she lives in terror of all like an animal in the forest, her ne- cessities having forced her to eat anything she can get, including eyen human flesh.
