DEMARA SEEKS
LIVE MOOSE
I
I
Fairbanks Marathon Racer Trying j
to Run Down Animal and
Capture It Alive
Nick Demara, I In* (ireek run
ner, has evidently become iIi1-,
nienled or is recklessly following {
out an impetuous impulse, ac
cording lo friends «»f liis who have
jusl arrived in I own. Nick is
moose hunting, lo be exact, lie
has an idea thai if he. can catch
a live moose, there will he a for-I
tune in store for him. This for
tune will he forthcoming, to his
mind, in the form of moving pic
ture royalties. The moose has not
yet been caught.
For several weeks, it is said,
Nick has been camped at his cab
in live miles below till.* mouth of i
Vault creek in the Chatanika Hals. I
lie is reported to have seen a!
moose upon his rambling travels, i
on one occasion, lb* had a gun
with him, lint upon seeing the
moose, the lirsl wild one in his j
life, lie dropped the lirearm and
started after the animal on the!
run.
Nick is a good runner, having,
among other trinkets nobis pos- i
>cssion, several life-si/.ed nied- !
als won mi local tracks. Itut, toj
continue the story, the moose j
could also run. It had no ined- !
als whatever, but still could run. j
The result was, as the report!
reads, that Demara became wind-;
ed after about I'll miles out on :
the trail, and gave up the chase, t
At another time lie lost his way, I
and strayed around for several 1
days before he heard the whistl.'sj
of the mining camps and was able !
lo gain his bearings. #
The miners and hunters in the
neighborhood are not very sym
pathetic with Nick's endeavor, ami
sometimes they even sneer at him,
belittling liis running deeds, and
apparently are certain lhat he will
never succeed in his efforts to
run down the lumbering moose.
Nick does not like that, and his ire
is aroused. He will get a moose
alive or never return lo town, he
has resolved.
Many limes Nick lias gone out
on I ho snow-covered I rails and
paths and wafted for moose. At
times ho has tracked them for
miles, hut always the husky ani
mals keep their distance. Nick's
friends declare I hat ho js desper
ate now.
Christ George, a follow Greek,
now in Ilie cily, claims lo have
loaned Nick 200 feet of wiro cable.
Nick's announced intentions arc
lo sot huge snares for I ho deni
zens of the wild and secure them;
without injury, aftor all- To the
present lime, Nick has not secur
ed his moose. The men who arc
claimed to have seen Nick in his
new task are said lo include Char- j
