Gorilla Tribe In Washington Strange Thing
KELSO, Wash., July 16. – Jorg Totsti, Clallam tribe of Indians[*] and editor of the Indian weekly, said the gorilla like men reported by prospectors at Mount St. Helens and who are now being searched for by a party, are voice throwers and hypnotists about eight feet tall, hairy like bears and are great bird imitators. This is according to the belief of the Seehitt Indian tribe.
