Two Men Affirm That They Have Seen
the Reptile.

report from Walker lake states
that monster sea serpent has been
seen at northern end OF the lake. Dan

to Goldfeld. Cornelison says that
both he and companion named John
McCorry sighted the reptile while fish,
Ing from boat half a mile from the
northern shore of the lake. The mon
sfer wGs then making its way toward
the east shore of the lake. Cornell
son says that at first sight he took the
serpent for man in a skiff, and when
IT disappeared for moment he
thought the boat had capsized. and
rowed toward the spot, when it sud
denly reappeared, giving them a good
view Of its proportions, which they
estimated to be about 80 feet in length
and feet across the back Another
resident of that vicinity. man named
Peters, is said to have discovered the
serpent sometime ago reposing in

vary the monotomy. Some olives and a
few pickles came along. and now and
then pie. II was explained a few
hours later, when church picnic
party came along and told how a -or-
nado had ripped up things at the
grounds. The tables had been set and
the dinner bell was about to be sound
