Two miners, William Page and Johnnie McCulloch, out hunting. McCulloch saw and "animal-man" come down to a stream to drink. When he called Page's attention to it it bounded out of sight with catlike agility. Story says there have been reports of a "kangaroo man" in the Sixes (River) mining district for the past 30 years, and gives a description, 9 feet high, low forehead, hair hanging down near eyes, body covered with hair, hands reach almost to the ground, tracks 18 inches long with five well-formed toes.
