MYSTERIOUS ANIMAL NOT YET CAUGHT
HORNELL, Aug. 20—Although the mysterious animal which infests Klipnocky, Allegany county, 10 miles from here, continue to kill small live stock on farms in that locality, searchers have been unable to get close enough to make shooting effective. Robert Hall of 12 Willow Place, was one of the men from here who was searching. He caught sight of the animal in the brush, but it moved so quickly that he was unable to get more than a fleeting glance at it, and but a random shot. So far, the animal has not attacked anything any larger than a dog. Efforts of huntsmen to track the animal down with the aid of dogs, was futile at the start. Dogs, after taking the trail for a few minutes, come back whining. Last night a pair of bloodhounds was ordered from Atlanta, Ga., and will arrive here sometime Saturday.
