'''THE WILD MAN OF TALLAROOK'''
[BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH]
(FROM OUB OWN CORRESPONDENT)
TALLAROOK, Wednesday
A wild man was captured this afternoon by Constables '''Shanahan''' and [[Eason the detective|Eason]], on Sunday Creek, [[Tallarook|Tallarook]], on suspicion of being the wild man of Tallarook. When arrested he gave the name of Henricke Nelson, and is a Swede. He will admit nothing, and denies all knowledge of the cave and hut; but the property which was found on him corresponds, it is said, with pieces left at the cave and hut. When the police carne upon him he was washing a shirt, which turns out to be made of the same material as the old shirt found in the cave on Sunday. He attempted to use a knife when the police were arresting him. They found in his pos- session a quantity of butter in a billy, also a, quantity of new laid eggs, and about 501b, of new potatoes. All the things in the prisoner's swag were very much smoked; 6½d was all the money found in his purse.
