4 Del Norte County Sheriff To Study 'Bigfoot' Report Crescent City - (UPD - Del Norte County Sheriff Oswald Hovgaard planned yesterday to investigate reports of huge footprints found in primitive Six Rivers national forest following claims by two men that an eight-foot "ape-like" creature dashed in front of their car. The 16-inch long, seven- inch wide footprints have been reported for the past six weeks in logging country 100 miles northeast of Eu reka. It was believed they were within Humboldt coun- ty but a closer check showed they were just over the line in Del Norte county. "I guess I'll have to look into it," Sheriff Hovgaard said when notified the prints were in his jurisdiction. "But I can't see where any laws ' have been broken. Construction workers Ray Kerr, 43, and Leslie Brea zeale, 35, reported that the "beast" they believed respon sible for the footprints leaped across the road before them in two bounds as they headed toward the, Wallace -Construction company camp Sunday . night. "It was all covered with ? hair and it didn't have any clothing on," Kerr said. "It looked 8 or 10 feet tall to me. I don't think it was hu man, but it was not a bear or any animal I've ever seen. Ray Wallace, co-owner of t the construction firm, said 15 men have quit their jobs as a result of the footprint re ports. Los Angeles-IUPD-A Los An geles anthropology student was en route to the wilds of the Klamath river country in northern California today on a mission to investigate giant footprints reported found in the area last week. The student, Harvey Water man, 19, was given $11,000 expense money on the televi- sion show "Truth or Conse quences" and told to head north to investigate the foot prints which; were said, to measure 16 inches between 'heel and toe.'
