SHERIFF INVESTIGATES LIVESTOCK DEATHS
Sheriff Tanner on Monday departed town with a posse of 4 men in search of the person or persons responsible for the deaths and mutilation of several head of sheep, two steers and a hog. At first, it was thought that wolves were responsible for the deaths, because Farmer Knudson claimed to have heard wolves howling the night his steers were slain. After some investigation and the discovery of “odd footprints”, the Sheriff decided that the killings were done by men, possibly aided by large dogs. It should also be noted that wolves have not been seen in this area since 1780.
COLONEL STRANGE TO SET OUT ON EXPEDITION TO AMAZON
Having set up his cattle operation to his satisfaction, Colonel Strange has announced that he will be leaving on an expedition up the Amazon River shortly after Christmas. This expedition has the goal of mapping and exploring the Great Plateau that sits on the border of Brazil and Venezuela, a place never before visited by civilized man.
“We expect to be gone for 6 months or so”, the Colonel told this reporter. “Our party will include scientists, former military men and locals that know the area. I expect we will return with specimens of many new species, as well as photographs.”
We wish the Colonel well on this, his latest expedition into the unknown.
