O'Oy10le:I1alt~m*BE*l-Q-res-yatas*7Cc-“Fottthe past several days wild rutuorshave been floating about to the effect that some gigantic animal resembling a gorilla is running at large through the forests near Eig Rum Several parties had reported seeing strange tracks in the mud at various places. At first no account was taken of it, but the reports came in so thickly that several prominent citizens-of Big Run finally concluded to investigate the matter. Going to the places designated they were surprised to find the tracks more peculiar and gigantic than had been reported. They measured one of them and ii proved to be a trifle over sixteen inches in length. It was wide at the toes and^ narrowed gradually toward the heel. Distinct marks of toes with long nails or claws were visible, suggesting the idea of a gorilla. The animal has not yet been sighted, but the oldest hunters acknowledge themselves completely at a loss to know to what species of created beings that wonderful foot belongs.”—Spirit.It is probably Big Foot Jim McGee. He was at ihe Punssutawney fair and wandered out to Big Run and climbed a tree to get out of the mud and avoid the fakirs.
