CHEWED BY BROWN
BEAR. HAWK INLET
JIM KESKI POUNCED UPON BY
BIG BROWN BRUIN PROBAB
LY MAIMED FOR LIFE
Pounced upon by a big brown bear
severely -mauled and his left arm so
badly lacerated that it is injured to
such an extent that its usefulness is
perhaps permanently impaired, was
the experience last Thursday of Jim
Keski, Indian, at Fishermen’s Point,
12 miles from Hawk Inlet, according
to information brought to Juneau by
Jack Wilson, officer for prevention of
sale of intoxicants to Indians.
Keski is now at Tenakee, said Jack
Wilson with his left arm lacerated
frightfully.
Keski, with his son, was walking
along the beach on Fishermen’s point,
when suddenly a big browm bear
pounced out from behind a boulder
and attacked Keski.
Keski had a shot gun in his right
arm and during the tussle with the
"bear fired it several times. The bear
wrestled and chewed Keski, princi
pally his left arm which is a mass of
torn flesh from nearly the shoulder
to his finger tips and then apparently
wounded by some of the shots, scram
bled back into the bushes and disap
peared.
Keski was taken in a small boat by
his son to Tenakee where first aid
and other treatment was given him.
