Attacks of Wild Beast
The people of Klipnocky, near Canaseraga, have lately become much alarmed over the depredations of a mysterious wild animal which nightly attacks and kills sheep. Some who have seen it at a distance say it looks like a bear and others, an ape. Some believe it to be a wolf or possibly a large dog, though it is said that it attacks sheep in a different way from that of a dog. As the escape of an ape and a leopard from captivity has been reported in New Jersey recently residents fear it may be one of these animals.
