Gunning parties have searched in vain for the lair of the monster, whose tracks were plainly visible in the snow of yesterday and Sunday. The trail led to the soft swamp land and could not be followed. At a meeting of some of the bravest farmers yesterday it was decided to form a gunning party of fifty on Thanksgiving Day and surround the Great Bear Swamp to hunt the monster to his death.
