Gov. Shivers
Shoots Bruin
A Kodiak bruin yielded his do
main to the Governor of Texas
The bear, though not phenomenal
in size, relinquished all his rights
and privileges as a resident o£
Kodiak Island, when Governor A1
lan Shivers, the Texas gubernatori
al head, brought him down with
his high-powered rifle.
The Governor and his two sons,
Bud and John, and a friend, Har
vey Phillips, returned last week
end from a bear hunt in the Ugan
ik area. All tour were suve.s.ji
in gaining a trophy.
Bud Shivers, the Governor’s ten
year old son, was perhaps the hcio
of the expedition. He now holds
the distinction of being perhaps
the youngest visiting hunter to
have shot down a Kodiak bear. He
and the others bagged bear . which
measured about 3V£ feet.

formance , as its members will be
chosen from the spectators.
A handbill will be distributed
