Harry Knapp of Kingfeld had thrill
ing experience one Saturday night not
long since. He and his son Cecil came
from his home on Freeman Ridge to at
tend the picture show at Kingfield On
the return about a mile out of the viii
lage they passed through swamp along
the highway at the foot of the large hill
which leads to their home. The night
was black and but for lantern they
could not have made their way. Just as
they left the bottom of the hollow they
noticed some dark objects in the road
behind them which upon close examina-
ton showed three pairs of glowing eyes.
As they advanced the eyes stealthily fol-
lowed,-not a pleasant sensation for the
travellers who, armed with nothing more
than their light, could not we'll halt and
give battle. The procession thus contin-
ued for a distance of a half-mile or so,
until Mr.. Knapp and son turned from the
main road into the one leading to the
Sam Moores' place. Here the animals,
for they were presumed to be loupcervief.
gave up the trail and nothing more was
seen Of them.
