They describe the beast as having a head like an ape and square shoulders like a human being. Fronthe shoulders of the creature there extend legs arms, which terminatelh great claws. The body of the monster, which is fully six 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’s body is bare of any covering, butabout 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.
