S. ! Damon, conductor in charge of the Atlantic Coast Line |insa< nger train which arrived at 3.25 r. M. from Flor- I ence yesterday, BayH the Savannaii Morning News of Monday. The wild man, Mr. Damon states, driven from Snnteo swamp by a iresh et in the Bantcc river, lii'l i?. n barn ? near the edge of the marsh land and, when discovered, fought fiendishly un? til overpowered and cowed into, suh jeetion. The man In now chainci and tied with ropea in the barn In which he was captured, the conduct >v say:-. Details of the capture of the man, Mr, Damon states, are unknown to htm Lanea Junction is a division point where transfers a."'- made for Columbia, Georgetown and Savannah. Ho aaid thai when hla train reached the Junction yesterday morning at 11.10 o'clock the little town was in a state of intense excitement over i ti? - (rapture of the man. The Savannah truln did not stop ;it Lanes, however, for longer than five minutes and so Mr. Damon could got hut meogra In fiarmution of the affair. The of Lanes are panic-stricken, Mr. I ?ana?n says. What disposition will be made of the man Mr. Dam? n declarea he doea not know. He aaya thai it la bis sup? position, however, thai the matter will bo reported to the authorities of the State Hospital for the Insane at Co? lumbia and thai the fhan ^vlll ho, seat there for contlnomonl and observation. The man la a burly in gro and speak* some [English, says the conductor. it is generally thought, the con? ductor aays, thai the negro la cither an escaped convict or a fugitive from Justice. He says it is the general be? lief at Lanea* thai thi man went Into San tee swamp to hide from otHcera of Ihe law and. frightened by the h ne lincss of the place and the fear of capture became Insane. Another theory of how the man reached his present state of savagery, Mr. Damon aays, la thai the negro, al? ready mail, wandered Into the swamp and rernained there. Th ? appearance of the negro, ii is stated, would ln dlcato thai he had been living In the swamp aa a savage for pr< hably many According to Mr. Damon, when members of a family of negroea re (idingj on u small farm on Lhe ? dgo ?f .-'antie Swdmn went oul to a rarfi shacklcd barn m the real of Lhoir llt lc cabin, aboul daybreak yesterday, they w?*r.- frightened by the terrible sighl ol a man over six feel tall, broad and muscular, with greal brawny arma and heavj Shoulders, covered from head to f..o' with thick black lair and whose cyea gleamed like those of some wild animal,] .-touched In one corner id the shack! ia though ready ;" spring upon th? llrst living creature which molested him The family of negroes, it la said, ,vcre thrown into a panic and wcnl hurrying In all direcllona in aearch of ;,hi. i:>- identa of thai neighbor liood went in response to the fright? ened i rh a and '.?I? aa for help. \ small mob, it is said, formed around the barn >*v -t tiiti half an hour and pi: ns were hastily made for the cap? ture . f th.' man alive, it possible, and with a - little Injurj to him aa necea saj*y. The negro showed Igna of III hi mtl when the effort to >utch .him con? tinued foughl Viciously. Finally, h(?wever, Without any of the mob be? lli] hi ti and without inflicting any in ,iurica upon the man further than a few bruisea of a minor nature, the burly stranger, more animal in ap pearance than human was overpow? ered and lied hand and foot. Quickly th< new ol lhe light with ami the capture of the man spread ?a ? r lhe surrounding country anil people from adjoining aettlementa and rcsidin.v on small farina and along the railroads in ;>li directions from Lanes Junction began to pour into that lin!o town to view the strange species of human held ... the barn of , i <? im gro f:' mily.

The authorities of Lanes Junction are follow'ing up every ease where ti criminal has been though! to have hidden In Hantee Swamp, or where u n< gro ban* strayed off and never heard of again, In nn effort to identify th< man.
