YUKON TERRITORY HUNTER CLAIMS
HE WAS ATTACKED BY BULL MOOSE
The rare case of an unmolested
moose attacking a man is reported
from Quartz Creek, says the Dawson
News. Chris Oleson, an experienced
hunter and trapper, a man thorough,
ly at home in the woods, was hunt
ing in the neighborhood of Steel fork,
at the head of Montana creek. He
was looking for Moose, but had seen
none. Suddenly, he reports, he heard
a crashing of brush, and looking in
the direction, he saw a bull moose
charging through the green timber
straight for him. It was coming
on him like a railway train, and
no more than twenty feet away.
‘‘It looked a bit terrifying,” ac
knowledged Chris. “I had only
about a second to act, and instinct
ively the gun flew to my shoulder
and I fired. I hit the moose in
the head, but still he came on.
The next instant he was on top
of me, and down I went in a lump.
He pinned me to the ground with
his antlers, goring me through the
thigh and hand and pawing at me
fiercely. I thought the jig wras up.
The blood from the wound in his
head was gushing all over me and
he was maddened with pain. I fi
gured my only chance was to lie
still. Then I saw him begin to
reel. He swayed from side to side.
I wriggled away, and, as he came
down with a crash, I rolled out
from under him.
“It took me a moment or so to
collect myself,” went on Chris. “My
gun had been hurled from me by
the impact, and it was burried in
the snow. When I found it I felt
better, and I turned to let Mr.
Moose have another. Then, to my
surprise, I saw a second bull head
ing for me out of the timber. How
ei er. I got him, and then finished
my first opponent.
“It is not often that a moose will
go for a man without being wound
ed or trapped in a corner where
lie has to fight, and the only ex.
planation I can give for this fight!
is that the ’ two bulls were chal- j
lenging each other to battle and I ;
happened to get in between them.”
* COMPLAINTS INTERFERENCE
BY ALASKA RADIO FANS
Much complaint has been regis-j
tered lately against interference in
ihe reception of radio programs and
in a letter to Stroller’s Weekly, a 1
Juneau radio fan is quoted as fol-i
lows:
“We have to contend with several j
causes of interference:
“Natural interference, or static, i
which we cannot control, but will be j
reduced by constructing broadcast- j
ing stations powerful enough to j
overcome to a great extent;
Artificial electrical disturbances
caused by leaky insulation of power
lines or apparatus connected with
the lines, such as some X-ray ma
chines, motors with commutators,
etc, (these can be traced and rem
edied) ; our wireless station, which is
a necessity that we cannot get away
from, but probably if we asked our
good Uncle Samuel he might fur
nish a tube set instead of the spark
set, which wuold relieve the annoy
ance;
Now the main offender: Reradiat
ing receiving sets. In some coun
tries, notably England and her col
onies, they are controlled or entire
ly outlawed, but we in America
could hardly do this at this late date
without causing hardship to the
thousand of innocent purchasers.
This trouble must probably be cured
by cooperation between manufac
turers and dealers when they awaken
to the fact that every new regen
erative set put on the air is liable
to disgust several prospective pur
chasers and drive them away from
Radioland.
The fan who builds his own set
should be shown he can build a
non-radiating set as easy as a
squealer and not induce his neighbor
fans to use strong language before
friends dropping in to hear music.
In the meantime let’s all help keep
the air clear by keeping our tubes
down as low as possible with good
reception.

MARQUETTE WILL ASK
WISCONSIN FOR 1023 CAME
MILWAUKEE, WIs., Dec. 1.
Marquette University will invite Wis
consin to play at the new Hilltop
stadium in 1925, according to Will
iam Coffey, chairman of the* Hilltop
athletic board, who has announced
that an invitation for a game would
be sent to Tom Jones before the
meeting of conference coaches and
athletic directors in Chicago early
in December, if Wisconsin is unable
to come here, according to Coffey,
Marquette will accept the game at
Camp Randall.
This will be the first Marquette
attempt in two years to renew
relations on the football field with
the State university. The last game
between the two schools was played
in 1919, when Wisconsin sneaked off
with a 12 to 0 victory. Attempts
were made to schedule games in 1920,
1921, and 1922, but Wisconsin refus
ed to cock an attentive ear.

BLACK SEA PORTS ARE COLD
TO WANDERING RUSSIANS
VARNA, Bulgaria, Dec. i.—Into
the port of Varna there sailed the
other day a schooner bearing a
group of Russians seeking a haven.
The Rumanian authorities looked
them over and, for political reasons,
bade them begone without delay.
Today the wanderers are headed for
a Turkish port, but with little hope
that they will be any more welcome
there than they were here.
It was last March that the sur
vivors of eight Russian families
Old Believers, 35 men, women and
children, started for a little village
near the Chinese frontier to seek
refuge from hunger, epidemic and
religious persecution. Painfully they
made their way across the country
by foot and in trains. At Cherson,
on the Black Sea, they secured two
schooners in which to continue
their wanderings. One of the boats
went down in a storm,, with all on
board. The surviving vessel came
into Varha, after having been driv
en away from the Rumanian port of
Mangalia.
Bulgaria refused the wanderers a
haven because of recent difficulties
with Soviet immigrants and emmis
saries.

PRAGUE WOMEN START CLUB;
STUDY RIGHTS OF DIVORCES
PRAGUE, Dec. 1.—The divorcees
of Prague have organized a mutual
benefit society. They have their
own club rooms, library of law
books and their magazine called
“Rozvenena Zena,” meaning “The
Divorced Wife.”
The increasing number of divorc
es in central Europe, along with
the economic dangers which threat
en many women with children,
brought about t-lie launching of this
society, of which Madame Aupi
cova, divorced wife of an officer
in one of the Czechosiavakian min
isteries, is President.
Members must learn the divorce
laws and must know the rights of
women. Efforts will be made to
force every divorced husband to
pay alimony promptly and otherwise
fulfill his duties as prescribed by
law.

MEXICO ADOPTS U. S.
METHODS, SAYS PROF.
HAMBURG, Dec. 2.—Mexico is
becoming rapidly “Americanized,” in
the opinion of Dr. Karl Sapper,
geographer of the University of
Wuerzberg, who has recently re
turned from a tour of Central
America, Columbia and Venezuela.
The tour was undertaken at the
request of the Geographical Society
at Hamburg.
Prof. Sapper had not been in
Mexico since 1902. The outstanding
impression gained was that of the
infiltration of the United States ideas
and methods into Mexico. While the
German, Spanish, and English con
tingents in Mexico were seemingly
to him to be about the same as in
1902, and the increase in the French
colony was only slight, a much great
er role than formerly.
Despite the hatred of Yankees,
which Dr. Sapper says he found
among a part of the native popu
lation, “the process of Americaniza
tion is in full swing,” he declared.
Another change which struck the
German scientist was the spread
of bolshevist ideas throughout Mex
ico.
