About ? a. m. young Knox awoke and was startled by growl. Flash ing an electric torch, he saw huge noun ain lien glaring at him not five feet dis tant and in the light it took step for ward.
 It was not till then that Knox hastily woke his companion, and seizing his gun, fired at the beast just as it was crouching for spring. The animal fled with cry of rage but could not have been mortally wounded, as it could not be found.

OLDTIMER'S
 CLOSE CALL

Recent arrivals from Dikeman tell of the terrible experiences of Jack Cronln, widely known throughout the district, who was lost for about week during the recent blusterv spell of cold weather On Wednesday evening last The Pioneer re- ceived the following letter:
 "Dikeman, Alaska Nov. %. 1913,
 Our old-tlme friend, prospector, cook, trapper and guide, Jack Cronin, came near passing in his checks in the DItna hills last week, when he strayed away from camp and was lost for six days during the storm, with only the lunch he started out with, and one bird the only thing he was able to get dur ing his travels, although he was we'll sup piled with heavy artillery
 At the end of six days, after many hard ships and steady diet of hot water, which Jack recommends to his friends in case of emergency, he was finally rescued by Charles Denton of the cold storage barge Trlnder.
 During his travels which covered about l5O miles, he passed seven cabins, and the only bearing as to where he was at any time was when he ran across g stake of Ramps Peterson, on the Black Jack Asso citation.

 What Cronin Was Hunting For
 From late arrival from Dikeman it is learned that Mir Cronin left his camp on
 the Ditna to hunt for wimpuSs for the 1 Smithsonian Institution, q very rare animal side of Glacier National park in the north western part of Montana A noted natural ist says wimpuss grows about as big as 8 hooglehug. but it has long tail like 8 collywop and has wings like bearcat. It lives in the tops of high trees whence 1t
 lies down to attack defenscless travellers. However, no harm is to be feared from a wimpuss if you know what to do when you
 see one coming. It is folly to shoot at
 them, for wimpuss catches bullets in its
 teeth and eats them. The only way to do when wimpuss comes at you Is to take small piece of cheese, either Edam or Swiss, and tack it securely on waterfall. The
 wimpuss makes swoop at the cheese and
 gets mixed up with the waterfall and gets
 his feet wet It makes wimpuss mad as all get out when he gets his feet wet, and
 so he hunts around for nice piece of grass to dry them on The minute the wimpuss
 liehts on the grass the hunter rushes at i'm and ties his tail in double bow knot When wimpuss has his tail tied in double
 bow-knot he is gone, because when he flies he always ducks his head under his body
 to see who is following him, and in doing this he gets his head caught in the double bow-knot and chokes himself to death.
