Account
The witness, then about nine and a half, was staying with his father at a family mining claim cabin. After dogs began barking, a large dark hairy biped crossed the road and approached to within about thirty to forty feet while growling toward a loud dredge operating nearby. It then left into riverside willows, a tractor was heard leaving quickly, and the party left the property the same day.
