ANIMAL BECOMES ENTRAPPED IN
PIT — BEING GUARDED AND
FED BY RAILROADERS
The Alaska Railroad has fallen heir
to a big bull moose, which wished it
self upon the railroad overnight at
Tunnel. It is alive and kicking and
bides its time between munching wil
lows and charging up the steep bank
of a pit into which it became entrap
ped, the snow being too deep to permit
of escape.
Railroad men say it is the largest,
specimen of moose they have ever
seen along the railroad and its tem
per is in keeping with its bulk.
Among the Alaskan thriller pictures
that will interest tourists in Alaska
and the States will be a movie of the
moose charging Norman Lack, acting
general manager of the railroad, while
he was making a motion picture of
the animal with his pocket machine.
To guard against anyone taking, ad
vantage of the animal’s helplessness
and converting it into beef, watch is
being kept on it. While there is con
siderable feed in the pit in the way of
willows, for fear this may give out be
fore the thaw allows escape of the
animal Mr. Lock ordered hay to be
provided, which the animal appears to
relish.
Don’t miss the show tonight.
