From the Pittsburg Dispatch”: The pHuptick Creek, in Pike county, 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 headlike an ape, and square shoulders like a human being. From the shoulders of the creature there extends legs, or arms, which terminate in great claws. The body of the monster, which ie fully 6 feet in length, is of a reddish-brown tint, very like that of a lizard, and terminates in a tail like that of a fish. The creature'sbody ia bare of any covering, but about the head and neck ie a mane of reddish hair. It is needless to say that the county is excited over the strange animal. Various parties surround the creek each day in hopes of capturing the beast, but up to theCeeut time their endeavors have not n crowned with success.
