Weird Bear Story
Comes Out From
Yukon Territory
A certain prominent Miller Creek !
miner was on his way to Glacier !
one fine day when he saw a big
bruin climb thru the back door of
H. D. Cowden’s large Rio speedj
wagon truck which had been left •
parked at the junction of Miller j
and Glacier Creeks, on a little |
knoll, says the Dawson News.
With fear and trembling our
miner friend sought the shelter of
the roadside brush, but his curiosi
ty got the better of him and, peer
ing from behind the thickly-foliag
ec! hiding place, he watched Mr.
Bruin chauffeur work.
Rambling down the aisle of the
speed wagon the bruin gas-me
chanic took up his position in the
front seat, accidently twisted the
key on the instrument board, paw
ed around until he stepped on the
self-starter and with a great roar
of the speed wagon’s six cylinders,
bruin bus and baggage began leap
ing down the incline.
Inexperienced to the ways of
steering man’s contraptions, bruin |
took a flying nose dive clean thru j
the side curtains, content to let the !
big machine come to rest in a j
thicket of willows at the botton of i
the hill where (as stated before) it!
can still be seen quite o. k. but with
the upholstery in a sadly dilapidat
ed condition from the bear’s paws.
That’s the story; take it or leave
it, but, as pointed out before, let
your conscience be your guide be-,
fore you tell it to your neighbor.
