BEAST OF BOARDMAN

The vicinity of Boardman, North Carolina, was visited by a strange creature in 1914.  None could identify it.  It was encountered by a coon hunter named Britt.  The animal was pursued by the latter's dogs until eventually it took refuge in a tree.  Britt opened fire and the creature, still alive. fell to the ground, where it was set upon by the hunter's dogs.  It put up quite a fight, killing  three of them with "slaps" before its life was extinguished.  

The animal was said to be larger than a dog.  Its hair hung over its eyes.  What it was, nobody who saw its remains could guess.  Neither can I.
