MAN HUNT WITH HOUNDS. IT IS PROPOSED IN CHAMPLIN. A Maniac Is at Large There and Women and Children Are Terrorized. A man hunt with bloodhounds is a prospect which confronts the terrorized people of the township of Champlin, in the northern part of Hennepin county. Louis Fred Moore, the demented farm hand who escaped his captors two miles this side of Anoka Wednesday morning, is still at large, and though for at time it was supposed that he had made his way out of that neighborhood, it is now certain that he is still in hiding in that vicinity and roaming through the woods and fields, avoiding every human being. Yesterday he was seen by some of the searchers, but promptly took to his heels. The search has been carried forward unremittingly and with such lack of result that now the people of the neighborhood will put bloodhounds on his trail, the hounds to be properly muzzled so that no harm can come to the unfortunate man. Women and children in Champlin are terrorized and hysterical since it has been known that Moore is at large in that neighborhood. For two days and a half he has been without food save what he might secure from the fields and woods, and it is feared that he will be ready to commit almost any violence. |
