'Kodiak Bear Scare
In Jasper, Missouri recently a
Mr and Mis Bill Crawfora were'
in a dither (retting ready for the
arrival of a Kodiak hear
As reported in the Jasper
County News for a week ‘ Bill
Crawford scurried to and fro
searching for a large chiin,
heavy lumber to build a pen,
and wondered where he would
put the beast after receiving the
following telegram from Melton
Crawford his brother, in Kodi
ak:
‘ Shipping Kodiak bear Feed
ing instructions follow. Suggest
Miss Troy name it and put on
exhibition at News” office.”
“Since the telegram alone cost
nearly 5 dollars to send Bill
thought it was the McCoy. But
upon arrival, the bear turned out
to be a paperweight likeness of a
Kodiak bear ”
Crawford, between practical
jokes, is employed*at Knudsen’o
