Sea Serpent Is Immune To Bullets

Reno, Nev., Aug. 30. (International News Service) ~ Doubt not the authenticity of this, for the nation went dry long since.

Four hunters report a Sea Serpent 35 feet long in Pyramid Lake, largest fresh water body west of the Great Lakes. It has huge fins and a serpent’s tail, comes to the surface of the water and lives, and its hide is impregnable to bullets.

The hunters who shot the animal but who report it dived after being hit unhurt, are J. S. Neff, Mike Nagy, W. J. Neff and M. Geni. They were camping on the shore of the lake when the monster was first sighted, they said.
