As was admitted by the Gateway, there was considerable static on the air when the story came in about E. IL. Robbins trying for the tree-sitting record in competition with a brown bear on the ground. Mel Horner, of the Overland Hotel, who was out with Robbins on this trip, says the story was all wrong. Robbins was treed up one of Lew Bishops haystacks on Russian Ri- yer by bull moose. The moose was eating his way into the stack to bring him down when his friends discovered Robbins plight and re- scued him. He had dropped his gun in his scramble up the fodder.
