TREED HUNTER PEPPERS BIG
BROWN BEAR WITH 22 RIFLE
Joe Ibach had a very exciting en
counter with a big brown bear near
Yakutat on Danger River recently.
The pelt of the victim Is now at Jos.
F. Piggs' store.
Tho hunter sighted the bear some
distance off and flre<l three shots.
Bruin tumbled over, but crawled away
The hunter followed the trail of blood
which led to a dense clump of alders,
bu' did not care to enter.
He was satisfied that he had kill
ed the bear and returned the next
day to get the carcass. He took
along a I'. rifle, not expecting to meet
any large game. He took up the
bear's trail again and followed it
about two miles. Every few paces
the bear had stopped to dig a hole
In the snow and rest a bit, so it
seemed certain that he could not go
far.
Ibach finally caught sight of bruin,
an<l bruin no doubt, had winded the |
hunter for he was coming towards
hlin Just as fast as he could navi
gate and In a wanner that meant
business. Ihach climbed the best
looking cottonwood tree In the close
vicinity, keeping his rifle with him.
With a "woof," "woof" and an
angry snarl the bear began clawing
and biting the tree. Ibach began
peppering the bear In the head with
his 22. Ho put one eye out and shot
at the ear when the head was turned
sideways, and tried to reach the
heart. The leaden missies seemed to
only sting and make the bear angrier
The hunter fired 27 bullets and fi
nally one of them had the desired ef
fect. A glance at the hide after
wards showed that the one near the
nose evidently did the work. Only
eighteen of the bullets pierced the
hide, but did not get through the
fat next to the skin. His first three
shots hit near the hind quarters.
HUGE BULL DOG KILLS IN
AFTER TERRIBLE STRUGGLE
NEW YORK, Dee. 13? The horrible
story of a battle to the death between
a man uud a huge bull dog, in which
the man was killed and left lying in
a pool of his own blood, was told to
day at the coroner's inquest into the
death of Carl Limpert.
The dog that figured in the unique
tragedy was the property of Limpert'
sister, Mrs. Schuerman. It developed
an intense hatred for Limpert. and on
several occasions attacked him sav
agely. Despite Limpert's advice, the
woman refused to part with her pet.
Early yesterday when Limpert en
tered his sister's flat he found the
dog in sole possession. Ferociously
the brute flung himself upon the man
and for nearly half an hour the com
batants rolled about upon the floor
In a deadly struggle. Lliupert un
able to gain the door.
Later in the day Liinpert's body
was found lying on the floor beside
an overturned table. His throat was
torn to shreds and his bead and
shoulders lay in a fast drying pud
dle of 'blood. The dog, his muzzle
stained with a darkening red and his
head and body bleeding from gashes
received when he had been hurled
against the furniture by his human
antagonist, cowered In a corner.

TAFT CHANGES FRONT.
adequate return.
We are required to pay taxes in
the form of federal licenses.
And in return for the wealth of
mineral, fish and fur which Alaska
has heaped in the lap of the nation
w?> are given a system of courts, a
road commission to build roads and
trails, a government cable which
charges exorbitant rates, "military
protection" and some very ill ad
I vised legislation, the natural result of
the ignorance of our local affairs on
the part of the legislators.
If Alaskans could make laws for
Alaska this condition would be
changed. The big corporations would
pay a return commensurate with wha
they strip from the country. More
roads would be built. Foolish con
servation on one hand and reckless
waste on the other would be avoided.
The development of the northland
would be hastened in every way.
This Is why Alaskans want home
rule.
Although the proposed B .verldge
l?ll' is a concession, it 's not what
the people of Alaska want and not j
what they have been fighting for. j
We want home rule and the fight
will continue ur.til the strongly on- I
trenched interests are driven to con- !
cede It.
Taft's cncession encourages us
in the fight ? that's all.

A BARNUM TRICK.
Getting Hit Posters Into Canada With*
out Paying Duty.
One of I'. T. Barnum's most success
ful feats of bumbooKlRtnent was placed
upon the Canadluo customs authori
ties. The veteran showman's tours
wero always plauned far in advance,
and one winter be made up bis mind
to tuko bis great circus and menag
erie through Cauada during the sum
mer after the next. This gave blm
about two years In which to mature
bis plans.
One Important Item of a showman's
expenses consists of bis advertising
placards, and Mr. Barnum was always
lavish with these gaudy prints. He
was aware that the Canadian govern
ment Imposed a hlgb duty on this
class of Imports, and yet ho wanted to
paint Cauada red, yellow, blue and
green with a lavishness that no show
man bad ever displayed In that coun
try before.
Now. there was no printing bouse
anywhere In Canada that could begin
to turu out the kind of work that Mr.
Barnum required either In sire, color
or flnlsb. Nevertheless bis Immense
posters came under the same classi
fication as much smaller lithographs
and printed colored matter did, and he
knew that the Dominion custom au
thorities would not abate one Jot of
the full toll, but would rather rejoice
at the opportunity to mulct the foreign
er who would convey so much money
out of a country.
So Barnum studied the question
awhile und Qnal'y sent on at once a
great lot of circus posters of the most
gorgeous designs whereon yellow lions
and clawed striped tigers and brown
bears fought with blue hippopotamuses
till gore flowed Into beautiful crimson
backgrounds. No agent appeared when
the posters wero detained by the Ca
nadian customs officers to pay the
duty. They were accordingly held for
twelve months, then duly advertised
for sale for three months more and
Anally put up at auction with a lot of
other unclaimed parcels and were des
ignated In the catalogue merely as
"colored prints."
Nobody took any Interest in them
when the auctioneer called for a bid,
and Anally the whole batch was knock
ed down for a song to a secret agent
of the circus who had been sent up by
Mr. Barnum for that express purpose.
For a friendly game of Solo, the
Board of Trade is the most pleasant
and cheerful resort In town these
cold days. tf.
