suers.
Juneau Free Press.
The Stickeen Indians positively assert
that within the last five years they have
frequently seen animals which, from
the descriptions given. must be masto-
dons. Last spring while out hunting
one of these Indians came across
series of large tracks, each the size of
the bottom of salt barrel, sunk deep
in the moss. He followed the curious
trail for some miles, finally coming out
in full view Of his game. AS a class
these Indians are the bravest of hunt
ers, but the proportions of this new spe-
cies of game filled the hunter with ter
rOr, and he took to swift and i'm mediate
flight.
He described the creature as being as
large as poSttrader's store, with
great, shining, yellowish-whi tuSks
and mouth large enough to swallow
man at single gulp. He further says
that the animal was undoubtedly of the
same species as those whose bones and
tusks lie all over that section of the
country. The fact that other hunters
have told of seeing these monsters
browsing on the herbs up along the
river gives certain probability to the
story. Over on Forty Mile creek bones
of mastodons are quite plentiful. One
ivory tusk nine feet long projects from
one of the sand dunes on that creek,
ami single teeth have been found that
were so large that they would be good
load for one man to carry. l believe
that the mule-footed hog still exists;
also that live mastodons play tag with
the aurora every night on Forty-Mile
creek in Alaska.

war a battle was fought in our village.
There were many deaths. To this day
many bones are found. Our house is at

In 1889 a peasant, Joseph Goulianov-

rear of ours, and when it was finished
he had mass said and installed him
self and family there. But he did not
long enjoy it. One day he and his wife
came running into our house and told
us of soldier of great stature coming
there. They did not know how he en-
tered the house. On turning their heads
they saw him sitting on a little bench.
The intruder said to Continuously:
"You get out of here; this is my place
and not yours; l shall not let you rest
here" Then he disappeared, and they
felt movement in the air as if there
had been breeze in the house.
Continuously was hoping that these
things would have some end. But it
was otherwise. 1t seems that, at all
cost, the soldier had determined to
chase Continuously out. Seeing that
neither his ghost nor his threats pro-
duced the desired effect, he set himself
to playing naughty tricks. For example,
the horse was found tied up so tight in
the stall that he was strangled. The
same thing had happened to cow and
the other animals. Continuously en-
dured these depredatiOns for three
months. but seeing himself powerless
to struggle with the unknown, yielded,

bought some material and built house
