! e THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE “ALL THE NEWS ALL THE TIME” VOL. XL., NO. 6133. JUNEAU, ALASKA, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1932. MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS PRICE TEN CENTY GOV. ROLAND H. HARTLY DEFEATED FOR THIRD TERM SURVEYOR FALLS BEFORE ATTACK OF BROWN BEAR Ray Deardfi Victim of Taku River Grizzly— Brought by Plane Ray Deardorf, packer for B. D. Stewart on a survey in Taku River Valley, was brought here by plane early this morning suffering from severe wounds inflicted last Mon- day morning by an enraged grizzly bear. His condition, while serious, was said to be not wangerous. Deardorf, unarmed at the time, probably saved his life by playing dead while the bear, a monster of his kind, played with him like a cat plays with a mouse for some 30 minutes. There are 20 punc- tures about his head, body and arms, all made by the bear’s teeth. Did Not Strike Him The bear did not strike a single blow with his paws. He bit and chewed and worried the prostrate man and finally left him alone. Ray then made his way to two other members of the party a short distance away in a skiff in Fish Creek who took him to the camp at the mouth of Flanigan's Slough where Mr. Stewart administered first aid. The party started for Juneau Monday afternoon late, spent the night at Hack Smith's place where a storm was blowing and pre- vented them from reaching the boat they had moored at the mouth of the river. Two members reach- ed Annex Creek early this morn- ing and telephoned for & plane to go to Smith's. It arrived there at 6:10 am. today and landed here on its return trip at 6:25 o'clock. Deardorf was rushed to St. Ann’s Hospital in an ambulance where he was reported to be re- covering nicely late today. Attacked at Kill The attack took place within 20 yards of a moose kill made by Deardorf last Saturday. The grizz- ly evidently was feeding on the meat which Deardorf, Harry L. Shippe and John Stewart, others of the party, were planning to salvage. Deardorf went overland to the place from Sittakaney River, local- ly known at Ryan Creek, over a trail he had blazed Saturday. Young Stewart and Shippe went down the Taku River to the mouth of Fish Creek and proceeded up that to connect with their comrade. The creek is a small stream that me- anders through alternate heavy prush and grassy meadows and swamp land and is almost im- possible to travel by boat. Sunday they had cut their way through it to within a short distance of the Kill but had missed connection. Mr. Stewart did not accompany the party but remained at the camp to do some work in that vicinity. Bear Attacks Suddenly The party took no guns on the expedition. No fresh bear signs N e e (Continued on Page Eight) KEEP LOOKOUT FOR PLANE ON WAY TO ROME American Nurse Reported Twice on Flight Across Atlantic Ocean LONDON, Sept. 14. — A sharp lookout is being miantained by coastal towns of the British TIles for the airplane American Nurse, following reports it was sighted jast night over the ocean, 1,000 miles east of Boston. pilot William Ulbrich, Edna New- comber and Dr. Leon Pisculli, aboard the plane, expected to reach Europe sometime this fore- noon.
