GAME HUNTERS SEE
A BIG GAME FIGHT
m-n—• ;
After a month spent hunting in
the mountains above Donnelly’s on
the Valdez trail. Lieutenant Asa L.
Singleton, of Fort Gibbon and Dr. R.
R. Meyers, of this city, returned
Tuesday evening with the limit
amount of game allowed by law.
They report having had excellent
shooting and enjoyed their outing ]
immensely.
The returned hunters state that
they witnessed two fights between
animals of the forest to which man
is rarely fortunate enough to be a
spectator. The first battle was be
tween two giant caribou, the leader
of the herd and another who would |
usurp the supremacy. The aggres- j
sor was victorious and the ousted j
caribou then hastened for more con- j
genial climes but the hunters killed !
both the victor and the vanquished. !
Later the hunters saw a battle be- I
tween a large eag.e and a mountain i
ram which lasted nearly twenty min- j
utes. The mighty bird swooped down j
upon the ram, determined to catch j
it by the back but each time the rant j
would get up on Its hind legs and i
conduct a stubborn defense with its !
forefeet. After several unsuccessful j
attempts the eagle gave up its attack •
and flew to a tree from which it ;
could watch its prey. As in the for- !
me’ case, the contestants fell to the ;
guns of the hunters, Dr. Meyers ■
shooting the ram while Lieut. Single- !
ton brought down the eagle. The <
bird when its wings are spread out
measures eight feet from tip to tip.— !

One Hundred and Ten Cases of Meas
les in Afognak Alone—Many
Deaths Reported.

wireless communication from" Deputy
Marshal Armstrong, of Kodiak, tell
ing of the terrible conditions exist
ing among the natives in that sec
tion. who are dying all along the
coast, where an epidemic of measles
has broken out.
At Afognak 110 cases have been
reported and so far three natives
have, died in spite of the efforts of the
people in that town, who are doing
everything possible to stay the
spread of the disease.
Ten deaths have ''been reported
from Karluk with a large number of
cases still in danger. . .
Twelve days ago twenty cases had
been reported from Kagnaik and sev
eral deaths are expected in that vil
lage.
Kodiak reports only ten cases and
that the precautions already taken
by the authorities will prevent its
spread. When the first notification
of the disease reached Kodiak the
school was thoroughly fumigated and
new quarters provided, and later on
school was dismissed and all public
meetings stopped.
Marshal Brenneman lias notified
the governor of the conditions to the
westward and has also wired to Wash
ington and it is expected that the De
partment of" Education will ask for
the dispatch of a t-_*enue cutter and
a number of doctors with anti toxin
to Kodiak and the other villages along
the coast.
