2-YEAR-OLO GIRL
CLAWED BY BEAR
MULLAN, Idaho — A little
girl, daughter of Dutch tourists,
was severely clawed about the
head Wednesday by a bear which
had been fed cookies alongside the
highway.
Officials were told the bear
reached into the small foreign car
and scratched the girl. Five stitches
at a hospital in nearby Wallace,
Idaho, were required to close the
wounds of Gemma Derksen, 2,
whose father is a student at Utah
State College.
Willie Derksen, the father, told
officers the bear appeared enraged
after they ran out of cookies while
feeding it at a spring near Look
out Pass on the Idaho-Montana
border.
Game officials said there had
been complaints on at least 22
bears within the last week, many
of them from tourists.

1N11C,RATION LE ADERS
RELEASED FROM JAIL
ALB ANA", Ga. UP — Integra
tion leader Dr. Martin Luther King
Jr. and the Rev. Ralph Abernathy
were released from jail yesterday
over their protests after someone
paid fines for them.
“I don’t know who paid it,” King
said. "We didn't want to leave but
we couldn’t stay any longer.
T‘ makes us very, very un
happy.”
King and Abernathy both said
they were puzzled by their sur
prise release. They said they had
received fine treatment during
their stay in the city jail.
The Negro ministers were con
victed Tuesday for their part in
racial demonstrations last Decem
ber. They were given a choice of
45 days in jail or $178 fines. Both
chose the jail terms.
The police chief of this racially
troubled south Georgia city made
a personal appeal to Negroes Wed
nesday night to refrain from vio
lence after stones and clods of dirt
were thrown at his officers.
King’s jailing set off protest de
monstrations by Negroes, resulting
in the arrest of 32 Wednesday and
police chief Laurie Phitchett’s ap
peal for calm.

Two Trainmen
Figuring in Crash
Were Bar Hopping
MISSOULA, Mont. UP) — Two
crewmen on a passenger train that
crashed in Montana last month are
accused of having been in bars
just before they took over opera
tion of the train. The wreck June
10 killed one person and injured
285 others.
The testimony was given by
witnesses Wednesday at an Inter
state Commerce Commission hear
ing under way here to try and de
termine why the Northern Pacific
Railway’s eastbound North Coast
Limited plunged off a mountain
grade at Evaro Hill, 15 miles north
west of Missoula.
A bartender and other persons
testified the engineer and fireman
of the train had been in two dif
ferent bars in nearby Hot Springs
and Paradise, but that both men
appeared sober.
The engineer, Eldon Lynn, and
fireman, Gerald Haines, have yet
to testify.
Mrs. Gail White, wife of a Hot
Springs area rancher, said she
told Lynn “he should go home,
get some sleep and sober up.” She
said he replied, “Don’t worry, you
don’t have to steer the train, just
push the buttons.”
AN ALL-RIGHT GUY . . .
TAMPA, Fla. UR — “Big Bad
John” turned out to be an all-right
guy.
As Dr. Thomas Baker got out
of his car Wednesday on a down
town street, his wallet, containing
$18,000 cash, slid unnoticed from
his pocket.
A tall, husky man picked up the
wallet and caught Baker two blocks
away. Baker offered the man a
reward but the stranger replied,
“Maybe you can do something for
me some day.’’
The stranger would tell Baker
only that his name was Jack, then
added as he walked away, “But
some of my friends call me ‘Big
Bad John’.”

Juneau Obligation Bond
Issue Ruled Unconstitutional
JUNEAU UD — The State Su
preme Court yesterday ruled un
constitutional a proposed $1 mil
lion general obligation bond issue
by the City of Juneau, for land
acquisition and improvement.
The land, approximately seven
acres, was to have been conveyed
to the State for expansion of the
capital site.
In affirming a lower court de
cision, the State’s high court said
the proposed bond issue was not for
capital improvement as required
by Article IX, Section 9, of the
State Constitution.
The test case was brought
against the city by William Hixson
of Juneau.
First District Superior Court
Judge James A. von der Heydt had
ruled in favor of Hixson and the
city appealed to the Supreme Court.
