Aged members of the tribe recalled when their fathers chased "the big devils" with firebrands through part of Siskiyou and Del Norte counties and northern Humboldt county. Huge tracks were first picked up again two years ago.

Contractor Wallace said his workers are really tough but are concerned about this and are now carrying guns as a precaution. Humboldt County Undersheriff Gus Fritz alerted resident deputies to watch for the "creature.tt
