wild MAN. Who HAD
TERRORIzED RURALTIES

Weird Tales Told of Phantom
In Hills Held as Confirmed
By Mans Capture.

Chamberlain, S. d, Dec. 20.-A de-
mented mar who was found running at
large and who was captured in the
Baker district some miles from Wheel
er, has been identified as an escaped,
innate from the Nebraska hospital for.
the insane at Norfolk, Neb, and has
been taken back to the asylum. 1t is
believed that he is the man, who fol
several months has been running at
large in rough country around the Mis-
souri, river opposite Wheeler, and who
on n number Of occasions has badly
frightened the women and children and
other residents of that territory.
He had become known as the WILD
man of Gregory county" In some
quarters the stories that a wild man
was running at large were upon
as fabrications. but the capture OF the
crazy man has verified the stories or
his wanderings and sudden appearance
in unexpected places to the alarm OF,

been found that a special primary cleo
ton will AVE to be held in April in
order to select national convention
delegates in time for South Dakota to
De represented at he republican CON
Z, 1t also develops hat the new pri-
mary law, in making provision for this
speclal primary in April, has said that
the nominating requests 9
M be filed with the state auditor 80
DAYS before the primary to be held on
the first Tuesday in April" And. a
few lines later, the section says: THE
secretary of state shall report the fill
ing OF requests of candidates to the
county auditors" 1t is evident the
law should have provided for requests
of nominations to be filed with the sec
rotary of state, instead of with the
state auditor.
However, examination of the old pri-
mary statute of 1909, from which the
present primary election law is mod
eied, says the very same thing, but
under the 1909 law there never hap
pened to be e a special primary,
and consequently no one ever discov-
cred the mistake.
or course the secretary of state can
report the filing of such requests OF
nomination, as made to the state audi
tor, from actual knowledge, and have
the proceeding perfectly legal, but it
has been suggested here by some Of
flcials that to carry out the letter of
the law, as well as what was probably
the intention of it, that such nominal
ton requests of presidential delegates
be filed both with the state auditor
n h secretary of state, hus leaving
no oophole open for contesting the
elections or in any way causing ques-
tons of legality.

Vermilion, S. D.. Dec. 1S.-The or
SANITATION of information regarding

kota with a view toward assisting in
the more rapid development of the
state is h plan, the preliminary steps
of which are being taken by DR.. Free
man Ward. state geologist, and the
head of the department of geology at
the University of South Dakota. -Four
lines of work are contemplated and
will be carried out as funds for the
purpose become available: a state
geological urvey soil survey, biolog-
zeal survey and map making. The pur-
pose of these rye is the gathering
of data regarding the states resources
the quantity in which they are found,
their quality and accessibility.
Last summer DR.. Ward made a gem
eral or recognizance survey of the
state. He says that he found a wide
spread lack of information in regard
to the quality and quantity of the
states The work of the
commercial clubs could well be linked
with that of the scientific investiga-
tor to put South Dakota's great re-
sources before the prospective settlers
