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.
