CHAMPION BEAR
KILLER IN SEWARD
That J. C. Tolman, of Seward,
Alaska, ig the champion bear killer
of the territory is a claim that can
be made without fear of contradic
tion. With his own steady hand and
trusty rifle he has killed in his time
two hundred and twenty-seven mem
bers of the Bruin family, not count
ing at all the greater number killed
| by parties whom he piloted into the
hills. As an example of the number
killed by those he guided it need
only be said that in the past ten
f days he has been in charge of a
party that killed eight of the an
imals in the vicinity of Seward. All
the bears killed by Mr Tolmon
were not killed in Alaska. He has
hunted over Washington, Oregon
and California, and in those states
he was equally successful. He killed
his first big game when he was 12
years of age, and a still greater
record to his credit is that he killed
the largest bear ever shot in any
part of the world so far as the
records show. This brute was a
brown bear killed by him on Kodiak
island in 1889. This pelt measured
13 feet 6 inches in length and 11
I feet 8 inches in width. The bear
weighed dressed 1,656 pounds, and
! over a ton gross weight. It is given
still in London records as the
largest bear ever known to have
! been killed.
As might be expected, Mr. Tol
j man has had some remarkable ex
j periences, and an effort is being
i made to get him to tell them, but
he has already refused offers from
Outdoor Life and other magazines
to do so. Once as he stood on a log
his dog raced past and as Mr. Tol
man turned to call him a great black
bear poked his nose into the Tolman
stomach and sent him flying through
the air. He landed astride a limb,
and from there he got his bear be
fore the latter could do any more.
One occurrence looks funny now,
but how funny it was at the time
can be pudged by those who hear it.
In a sort of natural trail in the lim
ber once his dogs rushed a bear
towards the hunter. As the bear
came in sight and was bearing down
on him Tolman saw that one of his
dogs was holding on by the teeth to
the bear’s head and so preventing
him from firing. On came the bear
and when he was only fifteen feet
away rushing down a deep slope Tol.
man jumped back from the trail
into the brush. Alas, behind him
wag a springy limb.against which he
jumped and which shot him back
| like a catapult to the middle of the
trail on his back and directly in
front of Mr. Bruin, who with dogs
and all jumped over his prostrate
body.—Seward Gateway.
MORE RAILS ARE COMING
TO ANCHORAGE IN JULY
A Seattle dispatch says: “The
Engineering Commission announces
that the collier Nanshan and the
| transport Crook will carry cargoes
! of rails to Anchorage in July, It
: >s believed out here that they will
be used later, at least the collier, in
carrying Matanuska coal.”
I WASHINGTON MAY ADOPT
KANSAS STATE STYLE
A report from Seattle says that
the women of that city have peti
tioned the city council to impose tax
on all the cats within the city limits.
They claim that a cat destroys more
birds than half a dozen dogs. Later,
it is said, a petition will be sent to
the state legislature for an act tax
ing every cat in the state.
New Freighter Arrives.

pairs have been completed she will
