Bigfoot Captured in 1784?

Was a living Bigfoot actually captured in 1784?  Is it true?

See the following report from Missionaries and Monsters, written by Gibbons, William J., and published by Coachwhip Publications, 2006:

In 1784, The Times newspaper of London reported that the Indians at Lake of the Woods, Manitoba, had captured a "huge man-like hair covered" creature.  What became of the creature is not known.

Maybe someday a Bigfoot will be captured again!
