VERNON. BC. (CP) – Two Swiss-born residents of Lumby, 16 miles east of here, have started on an adventure intended to track down a tribe of Indian giants which legend says inhabit Harris mountains.

Rene Dahinden and Anton Ruesch left for Vancouver to obtain supplies on the advice of a game warden, prior to setting out for the Chehalis Indian reservation.

They hope to obtain the Chehalis’ co-operation in efforts to find the legendary Sasquatch tribe, reputed to be hairy giants measuring seven feet or more.

According to legend, the Sasquatch goes to Morris Mountain, on the Chehalis reserve, once every four years for tribal rites, and this would be one of the years.
