This man lives in Goose Creek. He now says that it was entirely a figment of his imagination and that he just made it up. Col. W. talked to a Mr. Evans who is handling this thing at the Chronicle and they took it up with somebody up at the Air Depot at Spokane. He said to them that he just made the thing up. Col.
