WILD MAN CAPTURED

Crowley Signal, April 12, 1902

A wild white man was captured Tuesday evening at the residence of John Falson, 30 miles northeast of Rayne, LA. The only wearing apparel he had on when caught was a hat and a pair of shoes. In order to effect his capture he had to be lassoed. He had been roaming at large for some time and created quite an excitement among the farmers in that neighborhood. It was impossible to have him identified.
