There is a queer character living

known as a dummy. He has been
called a wild man as he avoids
meeting travelers, and hides wheu
he sees anyone coming. He pre
tends to be dumb, aud wheu lie
can't escape meeting with one. lie
refuses to talk but will write what
ever he wishes to say. He has
been in this vicinity several years
but nothiug is known about him.
In the summer he goes into the
gardens of the ranchers, at night
aud purloins vegetables. He for
ages the cabins when the occupants
are absent, aud lias a gun with
which he procures his meat. Oue
winter he ate the flush of his horses
which had starved to death. The
opinion is that he is an escaped
convict.
