Account
A man living near the Lincoln Tree Farm at 276th and Mountain Highway told police he was wakened at 1.30 a.m. by his dog barking and growling, looked out bedroom window and saw a horse jump over a fence, followed by what appeared to be a man in a white suit, which jumped it too like a man going "over a foot-high hurdle." The "man" stopped about 50 yards from his trailer home and stared at it for about three minutes, then came slowly within 25 yards. Appeared to have bushy white beard, no clothes apparent.. Only illumination was distant pole light. No account of how incident ended.
