southern Hancock and part of Adams

woman or child was in distress, and search
was made. but no one was found. A few
mornings later one farmer near the Hancock
county line found cow and her young calf
lying in the barn lot dead and their bodies
mangled. A bloody trail led from the barn
to the yard Of another farmer, and here five
goats were found dead, with their throats
lacerated. Early next day Abraham Jones
went to his barn and saw the straw and
fodder moving. Just then huge animal

A hunting party was organized and two.
