that one ten feet high was recently
killed 100 miles north of Mooschead
lake. He had previously killed II OF
three hunters, and the other two got
re-enforcements and slew the giant,
who was covered with long brown hair.
There also comes from Topeka, Kan.
an account of the capture of a wild
family, consisting of "A man and woman
and two children. They also had much
hair on their faces and bodies. and the
account says that on the top of the
heads of the man and woman were evi-
dences that they had been scalped.
The theory advanced is that they were
captured and scalped by Indians, and
then escaped and became insane.
