FAMOUS SITKA
BEAR BOY DIES
“In 1851 a man drowned in the
river near Yakutat named Guth
lieth (Ghukhlee-ekh), and when
the body was recovered it was bent
nearly double as though with
cramp, the arms were drawn up so
that the hands hung stiffly at either
side of the face, according to the
Sitka Arrowhead’s last issue. The
man’s body looked like a dancing
bear.
Shortly after that, the story con
tinues, a child was born into a
Thlinget family and he was also
named Guthlieth. He seemed a nor;
mal boy-child, but as he grew older
and neared the walking age, he
appeared strangely crippled. So j
the 2nd Guthlieth seemed to take
on the drowned body of the first,
for the Indian soul never dies, but
passes on into another life forever.
.Later, Guthlieth was 'given the
Christian name of Jim Bailey, but
through the years he has become
known by most Alaskans and by
many American readers as Dancing
Bear or Jimmy the Bear Boy.
His age was unknown and his
ignorance of English led people to i
believe that his affliction affected j
him mentally; but the Thlinget peo
ple tell that he was 83 and normal.
Often he told stories to children
through the evening—legends that
died with him.
He was noted for his exceptional
strength and his kindness. As a
young man he could throw a whole
seal into a sling and pack it on his
back. In wrestling games no man
could throw him who would get
down with bent knees to make the
game even. Until just a few days
before his death we have all seen
him packing loads of wood on his
back that would have been burdens
for a normal man. . ,
Jimmy shared his fish and hijf
wood with his friends. He cared
for children and did his share of
work.
. As he grew old, the Bear Boy
grew more upright, for in his youth
he bent nearly to the ground. ’Un
til a month before he died he contin
ued his heavy work of wood pack
ing. He died last month, at Sitka.
Relatives who survive him are:
Andrew Young, Mrs. Frank Paul,
Howard Baily, Wm. Kaska, James
Howard, Richard Young, Mrs. Dav
id Young, all of Sitka.

AN OPEN LETTER
NOVEMBER 7th, 1934.
TO THE PEOPLE OF NOME :
Believing it is pardonable, we take pride in bringing to your attention
the service we have given over a period of many years to Nome, and particularly
the service given you since the disastrous lire which destroyed practically all of
this city’s business section.
" . , »"* ,*> •‘•i'V
Within twenty four hours after-the Are started our fast steel cargo
and passenger steamer the S. S. Dellwood, was on berth ready to receive cargo
for Nome. She was loaded with all dispatch and when ready was sailed from
Seattle to Nome. Immediately the 8. S. Dellwood sailed, another of our steel car
go steamers, the S. S. Depere, was put on berth to take care of all the overflow
cargo of the S. S. Dellwood’s and to accept any new cargo offered. We want to
particularly point o^t the speed with which these ships were loaded and sailed.
Upon arrival here thNwo vessels discharged their cargoes with all dispatch and
have now returned to Seattle.
The United States Government gave to Noise for emergency relief
purposes the sum of FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS. The ALASKA STEAMSHIP
COMPANY, in cutting their freight rates in half, contributed practically the same
amount. With that, this company, if it could be possible, gave even more prompt
and better service than ever before. This service was badly needed to help recon
struct Nome before winter weather set in. It was given gladly and whole heart
edly and we are proud that we did give it.
S.
To give Nome people full opportunity - to order needed goods, after
all other* steamers had sailed for Nome, our S. S. VICTORIA sailed later than
she has for many years past. She has discharged her cargo for Nome and is now
nearing Seattle, the termination of her voyage.
Nome, rising Phoenix like from the ashes, is an exemplication of the
spirit of the far north showing the will to conquer under the hardest of con
ditions. We are proud to be associated with you and to have had a part in the re
building and reconstruction of a bigger and better Nome. We are proud to have had
such an extensive part in this work and we would like to compliment you upon
your integrity, your spirit, your strong heartedness, and place with it the sincere
hope that you will never again be stricken as of this recent Are.
Most sincerely,
ALASKA STEAMSHIP COMPANY
Jas. p. Daly, Agent.
