the veracity of some Hoosiers. Mr. Wallace mentioned no names} nor particular instances. But, he said, it seemed funny to him that there was never any trace of these pre-historic monsters which have reportedly swept Hoosier farm and woodlands. Isn't Monster Expert “Where there are monsters, there must be tracks,” he said. Mr, Wallace admitted his interest was mostly with little bugs, As an entomologist he didn't qualify as a monster-expert.

“But I don't think there's any chance of any Hoosier being choked to death by a boa constrictor,” he said.

“These unshapely monstrosities are never reported until two or three days after they are first seen,” he said. “Later, they seem to vanish into thin air.” Nevertheless, persistent reports of “enormous tracks” continued to filter in from various Hoosier localities, Farmers, fishermen, and tourists glimpsed various sized and shaped monsters in gravel pits, woods, and even on the downtown streets of the state's largest city. Norristown’s “big snake” was still the prize monster. But Lebanon had, an “unknown quantity” ereature which sounded like a baby and killed livestock. Other areas re‘ported variations. Hates to Spoil Story “It happens every two or three years,” Mr, Wallace sighed. “Somebody reports a big bobcat or a big snake and then they start from everywhere.” . Mr, Wallace said the state conservation department had received no reports or complaints from ecitizens. “There's always the chance of a big snake being found in Indiana,” he said. “The native Hoosier black snake sometimes gets to be six feet. But that's just a starter for most rumors.” Mr, Wallace said he hated to | spoil the stories but Indiana prob-{-ably would have to be satisfied with | coyotes, a few wolves, hadgers, and rabbits and squirrels,
