MRS. FRANK TOWLE
KILLS BIG MOOSE
FROM PORCH
KILLS ANIMAL WITH FOUR WELL
DIRECTED SHOTS—IN TOWN
FOR FEW DAYS
Mrs. Frank Towle, wife of the Frank
Towle, foreman for the Bureau of Pub
lic Roads at Moose Pass, who arrived
in town this week from her home at
the lower end of Kenai Lake, stated
to a Gateway representative today
that hunting was growing better in
the Lower Lake country.
Last week Mrs. Towle shot a large
bull moose from her front porch, the
animal being directly across the river
from her home. Four shots were fired
before the animal dropped.
According to Mrs. Towle it is a lit
tle too early for hunting in the region,
one having to go so far to get to the
good hunting, and the weather being
a little warm to keep meat. The last
week in November is considered the
best for hunting as the moose range
closer in to the lake, and may be
brought in with a pack horse, now at
the lower landing.
Some severe weather was encounter-'
ed coming up the lake, the waves pil
ing up mountain-high, forcing Captain
Bell of the staunch launch Kenai, to
turn back and await the blowing-over
of the storm.
It is expected there will be a num
ber of hunters in the Kenai district
later on this fall, as moose are unusu
ally plentiful this season.
Mrs. Towle, who is accompanied by
her baby daughter, will return to her i
home in a few days.
