Sheriff Clark of Minor county was in
Madison Tuesday attending circuit
court as a witness in the Winfred
burglary case. Mr.. Clark tells of the
capture of a man suspected of partici-
pating in the Parker murder, who also
proves to be an escaped inmate of the
Yankton asylum. The man had been
tracked by parties from Turner county,
and was located in a corr field IL miles
north of Howard by Sheriff Clark and
lodged in the Miner county Jail. The
man was sent to the asylum from Day
county, and it is thought was making
his way back. This fellow left Howard
before dark and on the road asked to
ride with a IA year old girl named Miss
Skyberg who was driving a team home
from town. 1t is also alleged that the
crazy man attempted to rape the girl
after they had driven some distance in
the country. Just what this suspect
had to do with the murder of Mrs
Collins, if anything is to be determined.
