‘Ape Man’ Who Lived In Tree Eludes Police
(International News Service)
North Bonneville, Wash.-An “ape man” who terrorized this small town of loggers and Bonneville dam workers will no longer be able to sleep in his arboreal mansion of hewn planks, because authorities have ordered the small tree-shack torn down.
The dismantling orders were given by Marshall McCurdy after the “ape man”-so called only because he is believed to have climbed a tree-twice escaped from state police who surrounded the tree containing the small shack in which he was reported living.
The mysterious ape man was reported by two youths who planned to spend a night in the tree house. When police surrounded the tree and climbed to the shack, they found only a recently gutted candle and a few undecipherable marks on the walls.
A few hours’ later police staged a surprise attack on the tree house, firing a volley of buckshot at it, but their raid was fruitless. State police said the occupant, reportedly a swarthy, eccentric “Indian” who was noticed loitering near the shack, made his escape through the trees.
