THE EVENING WORLD — NOVEMBER 30, 1888
The New Jersey farmers in the neighborhood of the Great Bear Swamp, a few miles west of New Brunswick, are looking for a monster. Not that they have any particular longing for a lusus naturæ or are curious in natural history. But their hen roosts are invaded and their pigs carried off, and the story is that the depredator is a black creature—four-footed, of course—twice the size of a sheep and with crumpled horns. So Thanksgiving Day was passed by the well-armed farmers in the neighborhood of the swamp, but the monster hunt was fruitless.
