BEARS SEEN
 FROM STREET

Tail tales told to Juneau's sum mcr tourists about bear running free on the main streets of the town was almost a reality today when pedeS- trians passing by the Alaska Juneau Mine happened to glance up the slopes of Mt. Roberts and saw, with interest gleaming ill their eyes, three curious brown bear, who also had interest cleaning in their eyes as they in turn watched the pedes trianS.
 Game Protector Gallagher, skip per of the Alaska Game Commission boat Bear. said that they were the second group of bear seen on Mt Roberts within the week. The last two brown cubs, were seen several days ago.
 Bear hunting season is still open in the Territory, and when the two small cubs were seen, several hunt CTS sped home after rifles. There has been no report as to how the hunters fared hunting bear within a few yards of their homes
 Gallagher protested the hunters action. saying that, although the hunters are within their legal rights, they should be ashamed of hunting the animals. The bears are harm less, and who wants bear hide anyway? They're only dirt-catch- CTS.
 Leave the bear alone Think of the tremendous interest to tourists it would be to have bear so close to Juneau in the summer time"
