REINDEERS PROTECT
HERDERS FROM BEARS
CANTWELL, May 8.—Evidence of
reciprocal protection between men
and animals came to light recently
it Cantwell where big reindeer herds
are ranging under the supervision of
the United States bit-logical survey
and Eskimo herders.
Several Eskimo boys had been
tanding guard over herds to ward
off wclves and were sitting idly by
while the herd grazed, when a mon
ster brown bear, followed by a year
; ling cub rushed out of the woods. The
boys saw no refuge and to outrun
the bear was impossible. Sensing the
only means of escape the boys head
(1 for the herd which formed in a
circie, heads out. The Eskimos
shouldered their way into the center
of the herd.
The deer stood with antlers for
ward and the bears swerved around
looking for an opening. Finally real
izing they could not pierce the fence
; of sharp horns, the animals made off.
