NUDE STRANGER CREATED FUROR

Scattered Hit Clothing Over Monon Yards and Showed Fight When Police Went After Him. / Lafayette Journal. When the good people living in the shops vicinity saw a man giving a life-like imitaton of “September Morn” in'the Mo'non yards near the depot last evening their artistic views did not harmonize with the model’s. So they sent in a hurry up call to poliee headquarters to bring the shameless person some clothes. Officer Eversole and Captain Kluth, accompanied by Police Commissioner Alfred Sucese, responded in the city service wagon. The crazed man they found wandering about in an aimless manner and clothes were strewn In all directions. JWhen the officers approached he became violent and before he could be overpowered Officer Eversole was knocked down. All this happened directly in front of the milk train, which was forced to stop to avoid running over the combatants. The clothless figure was finally made meek and acceded to their demands by compromising with wearing a coat, and thus attired was escorted to the automobile and taken to jail. His name could not be learned, and his condition was probably caused by the heat, which affeeted his brain.
