Denying reports that wolves from his famous park here had formed a roving pack in the vicinity of DuBois and Punxsutawney, Dr. E. H. McCleery today claimed that not one of his animals had ever made a permanent escape.
Dr. McCleery maintains parks here and at Coatesville, Pa., where the animals are bred. Farmers in Jefferson and Clearfield counties recently were terrorized by four large animals which they claim are members of a pack of wolves.
More than 100 of the animals are maintained at the McCleery farms.
Three times in the past month the wolf pack has been reported, and while the animals were spotted in a different location each time, their number and description tallies in each of the three instances and those who declare they saw the animals, also declare that they are acquainted with wolves through having seen them in zoos, and that they are satisfied they were not looking at dogs, but at real wolves.
