WHAT IS IT?
A TERRIFYING ANIMAL.
BRISBANE. August 24.
A strange story has been told by a resident
of the Beaudesert district, to the
effect that while riding home on Sunday
a strange animal—dark or brown in colour
—with glaring eyes, made a spring at his
horse's head and then followed liini for
about 20 chains and snapped the equine's
hindquarters. Afterwards it became lost
to sight. The man arrived home in a
state of collapse, and the horse was terrified.
It has been stated that another resident
of the locality recently saw a wild
bear or tig-?r lying down asleep. The police
investigated, but no trace of the animal
was discovered. The police do not consider
it necessaiy to pursue enquiries further.
although a request has been made
for half a dozen rifles to be sent to the
locality.
