Old-Timer Beats J
Off Black Bear
With Knife, Switch
(Continued from Page One)
edly the wrong thing to do.
The bear charged, knocking the
old man down. By some fluke he
fell toward the animal, he said,
pushing the bear off balance.
“That gave me time to pull out
my pocket knife.”
While the bear was clawing at
him, Gillis said he closed in and
let the bruin have a few slaches
over the heart. The bear lurched
back and Gillis ran for the road
with the animal’s “hot breath on
my neck.”
A crew car of the Fairbanks Ex
ploration Co., had been left in the
road by a group of mining men.
Gillis squeezed in the cab and
slammed the door in the bear’s
face.
“The bear stood and considered
the situation. Finally his lip curled
in a sneer of disgust and he lum
bered off,” the old-timer said.
When the mining men, returned
to the car they found Gillis bleed
ing badly from lacerations.
“Wonder what kind of a story
the bear told when he got home,
Gillis grinned. “Bet he felt sheep
ish letting an old man get the best
of him with a little ole pocket
knife.”
July 29 Is Deadline
For Filing Claims
Of Occupancy
July 29 is a critical date for set
tlers on public lands who have not
filed a notice of their occupancy
of open public domain with the
proper land office in Alaska, it
was pointed out today by Regional
Administrator Lowell M. Puckett,
Bureau of Land Management. Un
der the provisions of a new law
which became effective April 29,
settlers on land must file their no
tices of claim in the local land of
fices or, under certain conditions,
not obtain rcedit for residence
which they have maintained on
the land.
Homestead settlers who had
filed their claims with the U. S.
Commissioner’s office before April
29 have two years to refile such
notices with the land office, but
settlers under other laws who
have not filed any type of appli
cation for the land were given 90
days, or until July 29. to file such
notices.
All settlers who have filed no
application of any type with the
land offices and have settled on
the land since April 29 are re
minded that they have only 90
days from the date of settlement
to record the notice of such settle
ment with the land offices.
Proper forms may be obtained
from the respective land offices.
What the future has in store for
you depends largely on what you
place in store for the future.
