" MASS HUNT FOR ANIMAL FAILS TO SOLVE MYSTERY
Mt. Vernon, Ill. (AP) -- The mystery of Gun Creek bottoms is still a mystery. Not even 1500 Southern Illinois hunters could flush the mysterious animal with a 'wild cat's scream' and 'paws like a huge raccoon' yesterday although they combed the bottom with shotguns and rifles on the ready.
The object of the mass hunt was blamed last October for an attack on a squirrel-hunting Mount Vernon minister. Screams like those of wildcats have been reported heard frequently at night. The animal was declared responsible for the death of a dog and was said to make tracks similar to a raccoon 'but four times as large'. "
The creature was described in other places as "a large animal that looked something like a baboon" and also as "a half-man beast".
