Clark, A. C. (Prof.) - 1868

The Feat of Prof. A. C. Clark,
the Great Walker.
------
THOUSANDS VISIT HIM
------
Seventy-Five Hours Without Sleep.
------
He Walks Over Fifty Hours
------
The leading event upon which the attention of our citizens has been fixed for the past three days has been the execution of the feat of walking fifty consecutive hours without rest or nourishment. The actor in this piece of pluck and grit, Prof. A. C. Clark, a man somewhat below average stature and of perhaps one hundred and thirty pounds weight, commenced his task at McDaniel's Hill, on the evening of Monday, the 30th utl., at 6 o'clock, and walked until 4 o'clock the next evening, when he became partially delirious, and continued walking in this state until Wednesday afternoon at 1 o'clock, when reason returned, and with a loss of powers to such an extent that it was considered by the attending physician, Dr. J. N. Douglas, that further effort would be followed by death, and he according ceased his weary march at eight o'clock and seventeen minutes last evening, and was taken to his room, and is now in a fair way to safely recover from the effects of the terrible ordeal.

A vast throng of curious sight seers hourly thronged the hall to behold the great “walkist”. Over fifty hours did the system of this man of nerve hold out although illy [sic] prepared to have commenced the same, by reason of illness but a few days previous to attempt the task. And we are informed that he took no sleep at all during the day previous to the walk, nor indeed for several hours of the previous night, so that altogether he has been awake for nearly seventy-five consecutive hours. We don't want “any of that in ours.” We want our regular little suppers, and a due amount of nocturnal repose. Professor, you can “take our hat.”

Prisoner Shot in Attempting to Escape from an Officer.
On Saturday evening last, a man who gave his name as John McMan, but whose real name is John Cavanaugh, was brought before U. S. Commissioner Bartlett, charged with horse stealing.  Cavanaugh was committed and sent to jail in charge of officer Goff and a man by the name of John Kean.

While Goff was absent after the jail key, the prisoner started to run.  He was hailed by Mr. Kean, but still kept running, when Kean fired three shots, the fourth bringing him down, the ball taking effect in the breast.

Cavanaugh died while he was being conveyed to the hospital, and was buried this morning.  The following is the verdict of the Coroner’s Jury, summoned by Coroner Irwin :

We, the Jury, summoned to make true inquiry into the manner of the death of the body now lying here, find that deceased came to his death be <sic> means of a pistol shot, fired by John Kean ; and that deceased was in the custody of said Kean at the time, under direction of the proper authority, and was attempting to escape, and that Wm. Keane was justified in shooting him.  We also find that the name of the deceased was John McMunn, alias Cavanaugh.
