Wild Man Captured Near Velva After Rabbit Hunt
Velva North Dakota January 11 1924 reports tell of a giant brutal wild man seen near Velva over three years.

The captive drains water from a pail then destroys it with superhuman strength, and two of his front teeth are unusually long. Authorities ponder safe custody as fears of violence persist.
