Mr. C. Haggett and wife, who were returning from church Thanksgiving eve, were surprised by the monster’s peering with its cat-like eyes into their buggy and leaning against it, almost crushing the vehicle. The lady has not yet, it is said, recovered from the shock. Mr. and Mrs. H. both claim on this occasion a white cloak was worn.
A large number of others have seen the strange creature, and to-night a large party is scouring the neighborhood of Hopewell Church, hoping to capture it. No newspapers of the city are represented in the searching party, which includes one or two St. Louisans, and a report from the expedition is awaited with much interest.
