Dog Rescues Owner From Stickup Man

OWOSSO, Mich, R-Boots, a purebred police dog, did fast job on a holdupman yesterday.
 Boots master, Gail Shewalter, Perry Township farmer, was busy in his orchard when a young man left a pickup truck on the road and approached him.
 Remarking "This is holdup, give me all your money" the in- truder hit Shewalter on the head with a club.
 SheWalter called for Boots.
 Boots dashed up and drove the man to a fence, where he sank his teeth in the mans leg. The man jumped the fence in pain and fright and drove off with a com panion in the truck.

Photographers
 Leave Arctic With Film for Disney

FAIRBANKS, R-A pair of famed wildlife photographers, Herbert and Lois Crisler, have emerged from the isolation of the arctic wilderness with film for a planned full-length Walt Disney movie.
 The couple from Washington State and Colorado spent nearly three years on the Disney assign ment-in a strange land of vast spaces and many hardships.
 From last April until last week, when a chartered plane lifted the Crislers from their wilderness camp, they had seen only four human beings. Their most con- stant companions have been the wolves and the caribous.
 Last July their cameras ground out recording of the impressive flow of vast herd of 30,000 cari- bou above the Arctic Circle-a moving mass two miles wide across the desolate tundra.
 The Crislers packed their sup plies endlessly on their backs after being supplied by air. They lived in tents or 'crackerbox" shelters made of plywood and plastics. They lived and worked in 40 be- low zero cold for the first time in their lives.
 The Crislers arrived in Alaska in 1852 and spent a season in the Mt. Mckinley area, filming the life of the grizzlies.
 Then they went to the Kenai Peninsula and Katmai for filming the Kodiak bear. The final stage of their arctic saga included four months of work on polar bears at Point Barrow and more than a yeag filming the wolves and cari- bou in the mountainous country of the Brooks Range above the Arctic Circle.
