A short time ago, Professor William Gibbs, bacteriologist of the University of Idaho, took a party of friends out to the R.R. Sherley cabin in that section, which is a summer resort with 11 cabins that are occupied by Moscow citizens in the summer. The had been in the cabin a few minutes when Professor Gibbs went out to his car and a strange animal ran up a tree near him, knocking down pine needles and small limbs. It was so dark he could not distinguish anything, but a certain tree, walked past the cabin and began to screech. "It gave us a regular serenade," said Professor Gibbs, whose university friends have been "scared at the dark." But Sunday afternoon the animal, which had been frozen by the wind, was seen by the owner. They were in the timber near the Eldridge cabin hunting with a small caliber gun when the cougar ran out of a thicket and through the timber, making a quick getaway. Several shots were fired, the direction it took, but without avail. The boys ceased their hunting. Today arrangements are being made to get a good dog and several hunters to go after the animal. It is feared it will kill stock or possibly attack children, who have been warned to not venture into the timber. So far as known, the animal has done no damage as no stock has been missed.  That neighborhood. It has been heard near the Barnes home and Mrs. T. A. Ball, says she has heard a strange animal "making an unearthly noise" several nights recently.
