The two accounts differ, and I have them only in copied-out form. Fate sets the incident Northeast of Olympia, which would put it almost in Seattle; spells one witness' name "Larzazana", and does not give the other name. It also mentions tracks 18" by 6", while Fishing and Hunting News does not mention any tracks. I have followed the latter account except for the month, which only Fate mentions. Art Reda and Ralph Lazazzara, both from Chicago, were on a hunting trip when they saw from their tent an erect apeman walking away from them. It turned and looked at the tent, making a muttering noise. Face was humanlike and it was a male. It then walked away, stopped to pick up a log which it dragged a short way and then dropped before it went out of sight. From a tree it walked next to they calculated its height at eight feet.
