Account
Two men from Wilkes-Barre at a hunting cabin on Hatch Mountain found tracks in snow when they went to a nearby spring at 9.30 p.m. The snow had just fallen. Harlan Robinson, Dale Vester and Mr. and Mrs. Loren Kipp among those who saw them later. Mrs. Kipp took pictures. The tracks came down a hill to the spring and back up the hill, but could not be followed because by the time Vester and Robinson were there only patches of snow remained.
