FIGHTS BIG
BEAR
DAWSON, Feb., 20 - \By Mail)—
The story of a hair-breadth escape
from death at the paws of a great
ugly brute of a grizzly bear in the
woods of the upper Stewart country
is brought to Dawson by Isaac Lusk,
the Dawson-Mayo mail carrier. Lu«k
tells the story as follows:—
•Rob Levac, a rugged frontiers
man weighing fully ISO pounds and
standing more than six feet, was ou‘
with his dog team and gun four miles
beyond Fraser Falls one day between
Christmas and New Year’s. Going
around the corner of a cabin. Levac
suddenly ran face to race v:n - huge

mountain high, and so clos.* up ilier*'
was no time to shoot no; run. The
bear bear gave l>evac a terrific clout,
and keeled the man over with one
blow of the huge iron-tipped claw. Le
vac saw it was useless* to attempt to
scramble to his feet or to offer th“
least resistance. He, therefore, con
cluded the best thing to do was to
play ‘possum, and to endeavor to give
the bear the idea he was dead. This
plan was followed out successfully,
hut not with out much suffering.
“Bruin was suspicious of the man
and evidently determined to mangle
him and crush the last spark of life
from his body. The brute pawed and
struck the body of the man time and
again, and rolled him over in the snow.
Then the hoar would use his teeth and
pick up the man by the clothing, and
shake him like a terrior would shake
a rat. All this time Lovac feigned,
death or helplessness, and was utterly

passive. Bruin became tired of vent
ing his spleen on what evidently was
’ an inanimate object, but again return
ed to the attack. He possibly wouM
have kept up the assaults until the
man was exhausted or battered to
death, but Levac’s faithful dog, which
, had remained close by, watching in
\ tently his chance made, an attack at
1 the heels of the bear. The dog snapped
incessantly, and irritated bruin so that
| the big fellow eventually gave chase
to the dog, and followed him a long
distance. It was then Levac saw his
chance and scrambled to his feet and
sneaked away in the woods, and w'a;
safe. The dog hero, however, was
struck by the bear and so severely in
jured that he eventually died from
^ the wounds.
“It is believed the attack by the
bear on Levac lasted ten minutes or
longer , and it is a marvel the man
! survived. Nothing could have saved
him had he not been heavily clothed
, in furs and otherwise, which served
as a padding and protection against
♦ *
j the blows.
“After limping away from the
scene of the attack, Levac secured a
, log team, and traveled alone twenty
nine miles over the snowy trail
{through the Arctic wilderness to Mayo
where he received assistance in dress
ing his badly beaten body. He was
bruised from bead to foot, and was
j considerably scratched about the neck.
• It was a maiVPI the man ever lived

! vas the most notable in the Ynkon »n
'ears.”
BISHOP IS
KILLED
VLADIVOSTOK, March 29-* By
A. P.— Bishop Hermogen of Tobolsk,
was tortured and murdered by Bolshe
viki , according to a private letter re- 1
ceived here. Since the early days of j
Bolshevism the Bishop had fearlessly
denounced their work and for this was i
forbidden to preach.
The aged churchman defied the
Bolsheviki and in his preachings dis-;
played greater energy than ever in
condemning the Soviet authorities,.
r The Bolsheviki arrested him and took
him to Ekaterinburg. Thereupon the
population of Tobolsk province, who
greatly revered their old bishop, sent
a delegation to demand hifi liberation.
The Czechoslovaks at that time
. ■ 'i\
i began to occupy Western Siberia and
the Bolshcviki feared to provoke the
peasants of Tobolsk. They released
! the bishop and started him back to
• Tobolsk under escort of Red Guard
troops. A steamer was provided and
J .he delegation, headed by the bishop,
; proceeded triumphantly as far as Pak
rovsk village. Here they met a steam
j er carrying the Czecho-Slovaks or
White Guards. Rather than have the
; bishop liberated by them, the Red
j Guard decided to kill him. The old
j man was beaton and forced to carry
heavy burdens of ammunition during
the flight of the convoy . When he
could go no further, says the inform
ant, his torturers tied a rock to his
feet and threw him into the river.
The body was recovered later by
I his people and given burial in Tobolsk.
