Maine 1896 - The End of The Lewiston Wild Man Story?

[Trogluddite]

I skipped several stories where the term "wild man" was used as a adjective to describe a human in unrelated stories (for example, gun-running to Cuba) or which simply said, "the wild man was seen near X."

 

The first story is also from the August 7, 1896 edition of the Sun-Journal of Lewiston, Maine. 

 

 

 

 

This one noting the wild man's absence is from August 28th. 

 

 

 

The story kept fading away, with a sighting on September 21, 1896 and theorizing in October that the wild man had moved north.
