Engineer Says Natural

Americas natural gas supply is

according to Prof. Robert H. Fer

urges the use Of by-product pro-

The rapid exhaustion Of our nat

Blue Ridge Villagers See
Weird Shape Among
Hill Forests.

HAGERsTowN. Md, Jan. 30
The hamlets of RouzersviIle and
Tomstown, in the Blue Ridge Noun
tains, are in a state of excitement
over the appearance of what is de-
scribed as a shaggy animsI' re-
sembling an ape. Residents of both
places and the neighborhoods are in
a state of terror. Armed men have
hunted the beast day and night for
several days. They have not been
able to run it down or track it to
its lair.
Taken for Calf.
According to stories from that
usually peaceful section, the beast
was discovered several nights ago
in the yard Of Henry Needy. He
thought the animal was a stray calf.
and advanced toward it, He was
greeted with a suarl and grufI
sounds that caused him to fee into
the house. Later Needy reported
the incident to nelghbors and they
armed themselves and started the
hunt Toward daylight the animal
was seen in a field on the slope OF
the mountain, but 1t raced wildly
into the forest with shrill cries
The men fired shot after shot at the
beast without hitting it. By this
| time the residents of RouzersviIle
were in turmoil. Women and chill
dren fed into their homes while
men armed themselves and Joined

LURAY. Va, Jan. 30.-N. II.
Prince, of Luray, has perhaps the
oldest Bible that has ever been seen
in this part of the country. The
Bible is printed in Dutch, and there
are none now living here who are
able to translate il. According to
an inscription on the fiyleaf. it is
the original translation of Martin
Luther, l525.'
Though dimmed by age the book
is still in a fine state of preserva-

was a native of Page County. Mr.
Prince has refused fabulous offers
