WILD MAN FROM UNION IS JAILED Strange Greek, Who Has Been Creat ing: a Great Deal of Excitement in Vicinity of Union Now In Jail. The county jail has within its walls a real wild man who in his ap pearance bears a resemblance not unlike Robinson Crusoe after his years of life on a desert isle. The ma nnas only tne remnants ui what were once clothes and his per sonal appearance is disguised by an extensive coating of dirt as he has evidently steered clear of all bath ing for many moons, ine man is a Greek and can speak only very little English so that conversation with him was decidedly difficult and it was necessary to secure the services of George Conis to get any kind of an understanding from the man. The stranger has for several days been lirking in the country east of Union where the wooded sections and the bluffs along the Missouri river were his favorite haunts and here he has been staying, coming forth once in a while to try and se cure .something to eat from the neighboring farm houses. The man came to a number of the places along the stretch of country near the river and his appearance created a great scare among the women resid ing in that locality as the man could not make himself understood and his general tattered appearance gave him a decidedly poor impres- sion with the natives of east Liber - ty. At several places where he at-j tempted to secure food he was told to go away and this seemed to anger him as he kicked and beat on the doors of a number of the farm houses and thereby frightened the women at the houses he visited. A searching party was organized and scoured the woods and hills of the eastern portion of Liberty precinct , and the man was finally rounded up ' near the Clarence farm. He wasager cf this splendid city of 10.000 bruoght on into Plattsmouth and turned over to the county to be car ed for. The man is apparently harmless but his general appearance is enough to frighten most anyone if they met him alone. He states that he has been in this country only a short time and was for several weeks employed in the western part of the state and disliking the place quit and started out to travel and picked out Union as a good place to light but apparently made a bad choice as he has been having great difficulty in securing even enough to eat. The ftraneer is resting at the county jail and will be given suit able clothes and a general delousing process before his' case is given any definite action. ENJOYS BIG TIME. From Friday's Dally. Last evening some twelve of the young ladies of the city enjoyed a . real delightful treat in a picnic j party at the Wiles farm west of the city and the occasion proved c,ne ; that they will long very pleasantly j remember. The members of the party spent the late afternoon in preparing a sumptuous "feed" with roasted . weinies as the chief feature and topped off with a number of appetizing dishes that the ladies had thoughtfully brought with them. After completing the enjoyment of the feast the party came into the fcity and spent a short time in taking in the movies at the Parmele and to complete the evening of wild hilar ity enjoyed some of the dainty and toothsome refreshments served by the Morgan sweet shop.

Mr. Windham has attended a large number of the ra tional encampments but never be fore was there anything to equal thy gathering held this year and it iar exceeded the former encampment held in Columbus in 1SSS, although since that time thousands of the old veterans have answered the last roll call. The attendance was the largest for years and embraced members of. the Grand Army from all sections of' the United States. The city held something like 123,000 visitors 'for the time of the encampment, and the homes of Columbus were thrown open to the veterans and their fam ilies by the hospitable Ohio people. The parades and demonstrations were tremendous Mr. Windham says and despite the advanced age of th'. old soldiers they marched in line for hours, while the long parade was passing in review before the officers .of the Grand Army and . Governor Cox as well as the city officials of Columbus. j After the close of the Grand Army encampment Mr. Windham and his daughter enjoyed a short visit witl. their daughter and sister, Mrs. Kath- ryn Riddle and family at Xenia, Ohio.
