MC KIEV CEB MISHAP
MC KINLEY PARK, Aug., 6, Spe
cial to The Gateway—As told in
Friday’s issue, John Tirpatk, of
Fairbanks, more generally known
by the nickname of “Bearpaw,”
was the man run over and badly
injured by a gravel truck on the
road work in the Park, last Wed
nesday.
The gravel truck, of the steel
hopper dump type, was empty, and
was being backed; the driver could
not see Tirpatk. The result was
that the rear wheels, equipped with
mud chains, passed over Tirpatk,
after he was first knocked
down, breaking several ribs and
causing other injuries.
A gas car was sent from Fair
banks and met a truck bearing the
injured man
