Alaska Notes Gathered From TerritOvisl
 Exchanges.

Elmer Moret, fisherman of Hoonah, nearly lost his life recently through being attacked bp three brown bears, while hunting on Point Frederick. -Moret came upon the bears suddenly while on his way through the woods .and at once headed for tall spruce. The bears pursued him and one of the animals grabbed him by the foot before he could reach the tree, sink ing it's teeth through his shoe and piercing his toe. As Moreau arose in ,an attempt to reach the tree, the bear struck at him viriously, but he managed to escape the full force of the blow by drawing back his head, receiving only slight flesh wound 'on the forehead. Lucky. the momen? :? 'tum of the swing caused the bear to lose his balance and fall over log. As result of the brief respite Mo ireau wasa able to reach the tree be- fore the bear could again overtake him. The animals besieged the tree floor time, but finally gave up and wandered off.
