Oregon 1870s - The Indian Devil of The South Sixes River

[Trogluddite]

The original version of this story is recounted on the Southern Oregon History website at  https://truwe.sohs.org/files/bigfoot.html.  I have yet to find a copy of the newspaper articles that are cited there.  This story from The Coos Bay Times of Coos Bay (OR) was published on February 13, 1937 and omits the part about a miner being beaten to death and instead reports the encounter as a funny story that was likely fueled by too much whiskey.
