Dhatically declares he saw the crea-
turc 81. miles south OF the city last
night.
He described II this way:
After attending 4 meeting at the
high school last night he drove south
on the highway leading to Huff in
company Of a friend. Reaching a
point three miles from Mandan ne
turned around. The maneuver was
accompanied by the squcaling OF pigs
at q nearby farm yard. He jokin2ly
remarked that the lion must be mo-
testing the pcrsers.
He had driven but Il short distance
when the animal appeared at the edge
of tic road. moving south and toward
his machine. When about 10 feet

bushes and disappeared. Ills descrlp-

Misconceptions have arisen since
first reports OF the wanderer reached
here. Some farmers in the vicinity
who saw the beast gave the impression
it was a real circus lion. nothing less.
Several reasons why an African lion
could not live in the Missouri bottom
lands have been advanced. First, he
would die of pneumonia within a
week; second, nc would not travel
cross country for any great distance
as would be necessary in this case;
and third, after living in circus cap
tivity, he would die Of hunger forag-
ing for himself.
John Rovig, chairman OF tho Nor
ton board of county commissioners,
minated today he would accompany
the sheriff on any investigation. The
two officials plan to interview farm
ers and others OF the region who
claim to have seen the so-called lion.
