TWO TRUE GAME STORIES
COW MOOSE ATTACKS
MAN ON HANDCAR AND
EXCITING TIME IS HAD
W. W. Flynn, at Mile 21. on the
government railroad* had an experien
ce with a cow moose the other day*
which he will long remember. After
this* Flynn intends to cairy some soil
of a firearm instead ofonly a crowbar
and a shovel* so if any old cow moose
wants to raise the mischief* something
is going to drop.
Flynn was riding along on his hand
car- going at an average handcar gait
when suddenly there appealed on the
track* about 100 feet ahead of him* a
large cow moose with her calf. Before
Flynn could stop his car* the moose
had started in his direction, reached
the car and climbed aboard.
Now anybody who knows anything
\ihout moose anil handcars* knows that
the two are dangerous things when
combined, especially if there is a third
article to he considered. The moos*'
looked over the handle bars at Myna*
and Flynn looked at tfce moose. Then
Flynn looked for a place of safety and
turning, sprinted for a telegraph pom.
The Moose turned and sprinted
right after Flynn. Now again* any
body who knows anything about a tel
egraph pole knows that unless one can
climb said pole* when chased by a wild
animal* something is going to occur*
also they know that the distance
around the pole is short and furnishes
little protection from the wild animal.
_ . . - »• t it_
Well* v l.vnn couin nor riimn
pole because the moose kept tickling
the hack of his neck with his chin
whiskers* so close were the two in
making a wirlhigig of the pole, But
around and around the man and moose
went sometimes in a wide circle, but
more often in a small circle around
that pole.
Several clogs heard the queer rac*
and started down the track to take a
look. The moose* waiting to catch his
breath, looked at the dogs* then Bv.
Flynn, and took after the dogs. Flynn
went back to his handca** and started
to hit the rails at a 2:40 clip. The cl'.p
was heard by the moose which turned
and started after Flynn and his man
propelled machine. The moose over
took the handcar hut at this monicn;
several track men were encountered
and they took a hand in the antics of
the moose. None of them had a gun*
the men joined in an offensive move*
mont and started after the moose. The
”alf called the mother* as if saving
‘hat it was dinner time* the moose
turned* and with the calf disappeared
over the hill and into the brush.
Flynn has just recovered his wind.

TACK DEMPSEY AND
WILLIE MEEHAN MAY
SOON BE MATCHED
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 7— Fol
lowers of pugilism here are interested
;n the efforts being made by certain
’oral promoters to arrange a bout be
tween the world’s champion heavy
weight boxer Jack Dempsey- and Will
ie Meehan, a local pi*oduct in view of
the fact that the Californian laws pro
hibit any boxing matches except be
tween amatuers for medals or cups.
The last time these two men met in
*he ring- Meehan was awarded the de
cision in a four round bout which was
•aged for the benefit of one of the war
funds. the principals being awarded
i silver cups for their peiTormance. As
! foil*’ rounds is the limit allowed bv
iaw. it is hardly expected that Demo
sev is likely to be willing to risk his
title for the sake of a “medal” in such
a short fight. Even should he b$ will
ing to engage in a “no-decision af
fair, ring followers are wondering
what sort of a “medal” would have to
be offered as an inducement*
FACES BLACK BEAK FOR
FIFTEEN MINUTES TRYING
TO SECURE KODAK PICTURE
George- Sexton- of the Hotel Sexton
held a fifteen minute interlude with a
big black bear last Tuesday morning
and during the session the man and
the beast sparred for openings of dis
tinct kinds.
For the past five years there has
been a certain bear prowling around
the vicinity of the Primrose mine. The
bear was known by the clumsy foot
prints left. None however had come
upon the bear during this time.
Past Tuesday morning Mr. Sexton
! started from the Primrose mine over
land to come out at Mile 7. Mr. Sex
ton. when about half ft mile from the
mine- came upon the trail of the bear
and started out in search for the bruin.
Cominp to a certain open place
! Sexton decided that by poinp throuph
' a low patch of brush he would find
I the hear. C.oinp bear-like, on all fours*
i Sexton crawled throuph the brush and
i reachinp the clearinp* stood up. Twen
ty feet away was*the*bear he was look
ed for. Some bear* too, twelve fe^t
! lonp and heipht correspondinp. Sexton
reached for his camera. The click of
, the belt of the camera made a sound
Land the bear turned quickly nrourd
and stood lookinp at Sexton.
Sexton reached for his rifle* and
; the hear moved nearer for about five
| feet* then stopped. The camera was
apain hroupht around* and the hear
made an uple move. Sexton chopped
the camera and apain reached for the
rifle. For fifteen minutes these ma
neuverinps kept up until finally*
whistle of a locomotive caused man
and beast to chanpe the tactics* th*»
beast fearinp trouble* and the mail
' fearinp he would lose his ride into
, Sewnrd and the two seperated* each
ifointr in opnosite directions.
Sexton did not want to kill the hear
unless it attacked him* as it is th»*
I wronp time of the season* and the
bear did not want to attack Sexton*
1 neither did he care to have his picture
taken.
Sexton knows the place and expects
to make another try* soon* takinp nlonp
•i man who can handle the rifle, if nec
i *s*nry* while he manipulates the cam
era.
Scores of hear tracks were seen by
Sexton in the vicinity of where the
hip black bear was located, Sexton
did not pet a camera or a rifle shot at
Mr. Rear.
