cover himself; he roams through the
woods, generally at night, in quest OF
food, which is mostly vegetables, and
makes his bed with leaves after the
manner of swine. He is said to be
shy of man, and on the approach of 8
person, he will dart off and seek covert
in the densest thicket. No one seems
to know from whence he came nor tho
cause of his strange habits of life.
