NATIVE REPORTED KILLED
ON KODIAK BY BROWN BEAR
Word was received here yesterday
that a native on Kodiak island, near
Alitak, had been badly chewed and
mangled by a brow'n bear, which he
had wounded. It is said the man
emptied his rifle into the huge beast
which charged him, tearing his scalp
off and chewing him so badly he died
two hours after being found.

BLAZE AT OVERLAND
An alarm was turned in yesterday
morning from the Overland Hotel, the
company finding a fierce blaze in one j
of the upper stories, the flames com-,
ing through the roof. The blaze was
extinguished after some very fast
work on the part of the fire boys. One
roomer was nearly overcome by the ■
smoke, his nightshirt being ablaze
when his door was broken in. Fire
Chief Walker states the fire was caus
ed by a cigarette or cigar being
thrown in some rubbish packed about
a waterpipe, between the floor.

State Bank of Shelby, of which May
or James A. Johnson, one of the

is president, closed its doors today,
owing its depositors $200,000.
Johnson is said to have lost over
$100,000 in the fight venture. This is
the second bank to fail since the big
event at Shelby.
WASHINGTON, July 11.—The State
Department held out little hope today
for enforced cessation of fishing for
halibut on the North Pacific and Alas

as the State parliament in ratification
of the treaty did not accept the
amendment inserted by the Senate,
declaring the terms of the covenant
should be applicable to the nationals
of all other parts of the British em
pire.

A spotless floor and fixtures—walls
and woodwork glistening like white
tile! Any woman would be proud of
such a bathroom.
And almost any woman can have such a room —
she can do the finishing herself, and enjoy it! If your
bathroom has become dingy-looking, freshen up
the woodwork with Silkenwhite Gloss or Semi
Gloss Enamel and apply a coat of Fullerwear Var
nish to the linoleum. And when you have done
that, use Fuller Washable Wall Fii\sh on your
kitchen, bedroom or living room walls—many soft,
attractive colors and tints from which to choose.
Whatever your painting need, W. P. Fuller & Co.
makes a paint for the purpose. Always ask for Fuller
products by name. Your local dealer has them. Or
write our Service Department for advice and for a
free copy of our “Home Service” booklet.
