1863 Fair Breaks Attendance, Gate Records
!" Murder" Victim Found al Bridge

State and city police were startled early Tuesday morn ing when Don Panciewitz of Palmer rushed into the state police office to report that the body of a man was lying be- side the railing on the south side of the Matanuska Bridge.
 Trooper Luther and Officer Connolly hurried to the spot, where sure enough, there was a body, dressed in slacks, shirt. tie, and hat, lying face down in the gravel.
 It was dark along the Mata- nuska at 1 am. on Sept. 3. The two police officers gingerly turned the body over, and the first impression they got, by flashlight beam, was of tre- mendous teeth grinning up at them. The victim of a gangland staying in outer space, dumped on q remote planet?
 Closer examination proved the body to be that of bear. completely skinned out, an d dressed in the outfit described above.
 The officers brought t h e victim b c k to Palmer, where they removed it's cloth ing before carrying it to the Palmer city dump as an insur- anee against reports of a dead body lying on the dump.
 Police are examining h e clothing in an attempt to learn the identity of the pranksters with the macabre sense of hu- nor.
 The identity of the bear? John Doe Bruin. probably one of the Blackie mob currently terrorizing Alaskans.
