Wofford, County Su perintendent of Education, conducted Columbia, May 26.—After spending three days in the woods with a load of shot from a shotgun in his leg be cause he was afraid to show himself, Konard Hofner, 30, a native of Basel, Switzerland, crawled to a public road this morning and was picked up by county officers. He was suffering mainly from exposure and lack of food. Hofner could not speak Engli.sh and it was some time before officers learn- cd dotafis of the shooting and his rea son for remaining secluded. He said he had been run into the woods by Negroes armed with a shot gun and sticks when he asked for food and was unable to make himself understood. When he emerged again and asked for food, two white men, he said, shot him when 'they thought he was attempting to insult their wives. Finally jjnable to stand the pain in his leg and the gnawing pangs of hunger any longer, he craw’led to the read. Officers had been searching for the man several days. People in the neighborhood had reported that a “wild man” had been roaming in the section for the past few days. SUBSCRIBE TO THE CHRONICL:: REDRAm bob DRS.
