c. J. SULLIVAN ATTACKED BY
 GRIZZLY BEAR
Wounded Animal Lacerates Tenakee Deputy Marshal
 Yesterday Morning

Fortunately escaping serious in jury when he was bounced upor by wou aded grizzly bear which he was trailing, c. J. Sullivan, Deputy U s. Marshal of Tenakee. is today in St. Ann's hospital with lacera. tions on his left leg, right side, arm neck and head.
 With Federal Judge Justin w Harding and George W. Folta, As sistant United States District At. torney and well known bear hunter Sullivan left here last week fol Tenakee where Judge Harding was to study the appointment of g new United States Commissioner after which the party planned to hunt bear on Tenakee Inlet. Monday evening the party shot at two large grizzly cubs and n mother bear near the beach. One of the cubs was dropped but the other two animals made away with bullet wounds. It was while in pursuit of these that Sullivan was attacked.
 Both Bears Pierced
 AS it was dusk when the hunters shot at the animals they were un- able to set out until the following morning, yesterday. Judging from blood marks. both bears had been shot through by the bullets. After trailing the bears several hundred yards from the beach, Sullivan en- tered small ravine while Folta and Harding were in the brush on an elevation above.
 Believing the bears to be near him. Sullivan called to the other two to join him. They were a short distance away but were not able to make out where Sullivan was, so he decided to follow a deer trail to the top of the ridge to join them. On his way he passed within ten or fifteen feet of a large stump.
 Bear Attacks
 As he came opposite the stump the old bear, apparently waiting for him while protecting her cub, which was probably nearby, leaped at him.
 On her bounce she knocked Sul- nvan down and her teeth fell on the stock of his gun which was hurled from his grasp. AS he fell he called for help. Remembering advice he had heard, Sullivan lay still, with his face buried in the moss to smother the sounds of his breathing. MI
 The bear sunk her teeth in his left leg. Sullivan said the pain was intense but he lay still. She next chewed his right ear, then grabbed him by the right shoulder and neck and then by the right side after which she left him alone.
 Remains on Ground
 Afraid that she would bounce on him again if he moved Sullivan lay still. He could hear his com panions approaching. A few mo- ments later he was able to see Folta on the ridge above and then raised to an upright position, but the bear was not to be seen.
 Sullivan. Folta and Harding walked to the beach, reaching there about II am. yesterday. Harding bathed and bandaged Sullivan's wounds at the beach, and cared for him coming to Juneau on the gas- boat Helmar.
 Today Sullivan declared he felt little the worse for his experi- ences except that he was stiff and sore.
 George Folta said today he be- lieves Sullivan escaped possible fa- tai injuries because of the proxim- ity of his companions. As Sulli- van called for help, Folta said, he and Judge Harding realized what had happened and immediately be- gan yelling in an effort to scare

 By the time they had arrived the bear had made his departure. The cubs were probably more than one year old, Folta said, for they were about the size of full-grown black bear. He expressed the opinion, also, that the wounded bears had received fatal injuries at the hands of the hunters.
