Princeton, Manning Park, British Columbia

Account
Forrest Gullett was fishing in the Similkameen River about 2 1/2 miles downstream of Coldspring compground when he found three tracks, estimated only a week old, but rained on, on a sandbank on the river. Showed his father, who took two pictures after the track was sprinkled heavily with white flour. The tracks crossed the sand into the bush, where apparently no more showed. Not indicated whether they came out of the river.
