JOE
HAS
FIGHT
A BEAR
Achilles had a vulnerable spot. Af
ter shooting and carving around on
him for several decades one of the
lesser Gods took a shot at his heel
and down he came. The brown bear
of Alaska can well be classed with the
fabled Achilles when.it comes to fight
ing qualities but he too has his vulner
able spot. You may put salt on a
bird’s tail and stop its flight; if you
tickle a ’possum’s belly it will give up;
several other animals have their weak
nesses but a brown' bear’s touchy spot
lies in his nose. This is godd advice
to the cheechacko, swat him in the
nose and swat him first. The sour
doughs know this rule but even at that
few, vefy few, live to tell their grand
children how they single-handed and
alone met, tickled and conquered a
big brown bear. However the follow
ing is a reliable account of how A. R.
Busch, of Valdez, accomplished the
feat with a willowy wand on the 8th
day of last July and while he will car
ry the scars of the encounter to his
grave he is very much alive today.
Mr. Busch came to Anchorage on
.one of the last steamers from Valdez
where he has been confined in the hos
pital for over two months as a result
of the wounds received in his encoun
ter with a brown bear the 8th day of
last July on the Tasalena river near
the Fairbanks-Valdez automobile trail.
At the time Mr. Busch was walking 1
along a trail with no weapon save a
willow stick, he was using as a cane,
when a brown bear sprang out of the
woods about five feet in front of him.
The bear immediately made a rush for
Busch who hit him on the end of the
nose with the stick; the bear, ducked
and grabbed Busch’s left leg fright
fully mangling it, in addition to throw
ing him to the ground and severely
wrenching his knee. While on the
ground Busch kept up the pommelling,
always seeking the vulnerable nose.
He finally beat the bear off and with
the aid of self-made crutches reached
the automobile trail. As an evidence
of the seriousness of his wounds it
took him 22 hours to walk and crawl |
the eight miles to the automobile trail
where he was picked up and carried to
the Simpson road house where he was
given first aid and later taken to Val
dez and placed irv.thg hospital, I
An account of the affair appeared ■ « I
a Valdez paper at the time and much [
comment was made on it by the differ- |
ent papers in the territory; several !
similar single-handed encounters were i
referred to and it was always thej
knowledge of the bear’s touchy nose;
that saved the day. Mr. Busch’s es-'
cape was miraculous and he is indeed
fortunate that the match did not result
more seriously. He, himself, is per
fectly satisfied with the outcome and
says once is sufficient.
Mr. Busch has been working on
some ground on Rainier creek located
on this slope of the Susitna river for
the past two years and has a 75-foot
shaft sunk on the property. He also
has some quartz holdings that he fig
ures are worth further development.
Mr. Busch will remain in Anchorage
several weeks buying the necessary
outfit to freight in his next summer’s
provisions and supplies to his proper
ty, making the trip via the head of the
Chickaloon and across the summit.
