Canada Lynx A’P Freehold Sighting
A Canada lynx is reported to have its headquarters at Freehold. Dr. Samuel Lockwood, a noted American naturalist, says it is undoubtably the Canada lynx and a lone survivor with powerful courage and fierceness. Attempts to capture it have failed. dogs joined the hunt but withdrew after encounters, and the beast remains at large killing chickens and sometimes mangling young pigs.
