SonNllle, Ind, are excited over the APP
peatance of strange animal which has
been seen 10y number of persons in
tract of woods on the farm of Charles
Jordan. The animal was first seen about
Il month ago and number of parties
! have since been organized To capture or
Kill it. Shots have been fired at il with
every conceivable kind of frearm. but
no one has yet succeeded in bagging it.

shots have been aimed at the ANIMAL

that community have become convinced
that the strange visitor is the ghost Of

its escape. Many persons believe il is a
white monkey that has made its escape
from some menagerie. The animal was

An artesian well near San Antonio,

prank After the well had been sunk il

cient to meet the demands Of ITS owners,

due 10 the pressure of a subtcrraueau riv-
er at Il depth of fS5 feet.
