ieu money.A WINGED MONSTER.Continued From First Page.Peter Dunn, cashier of the only bank in the town, fearing bank robbers, loaded a repeating shotgun with shells filled with buckshot and prepared to guard his funds next night. At 2 o’clock he was blinded by the presence of a light of great intensity. . JEventually he recovered his senses sufficiently to distinguish the monster, and fired through the window. The plate glass and sash were torn out and the monster disappeared. Next morning imprints of great three-toed feet were discernible in the soft earth. Plaster casts of them were taken. e .That night Dr. O. W. White saw the monster climbing down a telephone pole, using a beak much in the manner of a parrot. As it struck the ground it seemed to travel in leaps, like a kangaroo, using its huge, feath-erless wings to assist. It gave off no light. He fired at it, and he believes he wounded it. The shot was followed by an overpowering odor. Sidney Gregg, attracted by the shot, saw the monster flying away.But the climax came last night. The whole town was aroused by this time. Prof. Martin, principal of the schools, decided that upon the description it was an antediluvian animal. Shortly after midnight J. L. Platt, foreman of the brick plant, heard a peculiar sound in an abandoned coal mine, and, as the men had reported a similar sound before, a body of volunteers, started an investigation. Presently the monster emerged from the shaft, accompanied by a smaller one. A score of shots were fired without effect.WThe whole town was aroused and vigil was maintained the rest of the night, but without result, until just at dawn, when the two monsters returned and disappeared down the shaft.
