Dateline Aitkin Minnesota:

It seems the monument bandit is at it again, this time striking 115 southwest of Bemidji in the town of Aitkin. It seems that even the defender of the poor is not safe here in Minnesota.

Here is a picture taken only hours ago. Note there are no footprints in the snow.

State Icon of Minnesota Missing

Shown here in this vintage photo taken in Bemidji, Minnesota, Paul Bunyan greets visitors to the town. Nearby is Paul's House, an amusement park, and a number of his favorite trading posts. Paul's iconic statue has stood watch here since 1937.

That is, until recently. Last week is was reported that Paul is missing. Only Babe, his faithful blue ox remains on the site. Below is a picture of the site as it appears today. There are no known leads in the case. If you spot any clues report them to Andy right away. I hear he is very upset.



Here in two parts, is Paul's story as presented in 1958 by Walt Disney.
