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, on Sunday Creek, 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.
