A Pike County Story,The Paupaek Creek, in Pike County, Pennsylvania, is the dwelling place of a monster more wonderful than the sea serpent, if one can believe the stories told by people in the vicinity. They describe the beast as having a head like an ape and squareshoulders like a human being. From the shoulders of the creature there extend legs arms, which terminate in great chi,we. The body of the monster, which is fully six feet in length, is of a reddish brown tint, very like that ol a lizard, nnd terminates in a • tail like that of a fish. The creature’s body is bare of any covering, but about the head and neck is a mane of reddish hair. It is needless to say that the county is excited over the ' strange animals. Various parties surround the creek each day in hopes ‘ of capturing the beast, but up to the present time their endeavors have ■ not been crowned with success.
