Oregon 1904 - The Wild Man of the Sixes Frightens Miners Near Thompson Flat

[Trogluddite]

Hat tip to Bigfoot and Beyond, where I first heard about this incident.  Published on 30 Mar 1904 in The Capital Journal of Salem (OR).  No additional or older newspaper accounts have been found to date, but Bobbi Short's (RIP) Bigfoot Encounters also has some limited information about this story at http://www.bigfootencounters.com/stories/thompson.htm.
