TWO TIGERS
BELIEVED SEEN
IN MIDLANDS
Two animals, believed to be the
rare Tasmanian tigers, were seen
by a Victorian visitor from the
Midland Highway near Antill
Ponds about dusk last Wednes-
day.
The visitor, Mr. C. W. Lyster, was
riding a bicycle from Launceston to
Hobart.
He said last night that about 100
or 200 yards beyond the 58-mile peg,
and about 100 yards from the road
on the left side, he saw the two
animals.
They were about the size of grey-
hounds and as soon as they became
aware of his presence they made off.
Although it was dusk, Mr. Lyster
said he could see the stripes on the
hind portion of the animals.
