TIGER AT LARGE
BELIEVED TO BE ROAMING IN AUSTRALIAN DISTRICT TEMORA, Saturday. The Springvale "tiger" has been scen again after having been "in smoke" for two years. Mr. Jack Worth, a well-known farmer of Combaning, is emphatic in declaring that he was within 50 yards of an animal very much like a tiger. When he approached it gave a snarl and raced into the thick scrub. Mr. Sam Tetley, of Springvale-, whose son was the first to see the strango animal two years ago, said to-day that he had found dead sheep on his property during the week which had been savaged in an unusual way. Other settlers have had sheep similarly killed. Mr. Tetley says that several years ago young tigers belonging ' to a traveiling circus were tied up near the scrubby hills at Dingi Dingi. They were reported to have escaped, and were never recaptured. His theory is that the strange animal may be one of the cubs grown up. A party will go out to search for the "tiger" to-morrow.
