Free Delivery -10 Wttt Commercial Row 341 Special to The Journal LAS VEGAS, Aug-. that a "wild man" captured in the fastness of the Muddy valley recently, may be Ralph Moore, who escaped from a Utah, asylum four years ago, has been received by Sheriff Gay of Clark county. This information, however, Is in conflict with statements of ranchers of the Muddy valle; section, who maintain that the "wild rnun" has tjec-n seen at intervals during eight years. With lonff, black, matted hair, tatters for clothing, his skin tanned to leather, and with a vacant, expressionless stare the man can- not or refuses to talk to his captors.

He was rounded up in the Muddy valley by a posse of ranchers who recently discovered It was a human being and not a wild animal that had been making- nightly forays on melon patches, cornfields and gardens. His lair between the Muddy river and the. Colorado was found stocked 'with vegetables and melons taken from the ranchers. Deputy Frank Waite brought him to the Clark county jail. It is expected that the question of whether or not the "wild man" is Ralph Moore will bo cleared with the arrival of an uncle of Moore's from Utah during the- next few days.
