ONE MOOSE DOWN; ONE IN ESCAPE
FAIRBANKS, Alaska, Sept. 5-(A.P.)-The moose hunting season was over in a hurry for a Fairbanks nimrod Friday.
One hour and a half from the time John Stahler and his wife started down the Chena River in a 30-foot boat he had bagged his one moose limit and had been charged by a second animal.
Stahler said he and his wife stopped along the river bank to make some coffee. About three minutes after they climbed out of the boat two bull moose appeared on the opposite bank.
Stahler climbed into the boat, crossed the river and shot one of the moose. The second animal, instead of running away charged the boat. When he was within 10 feet of the craft Stahler fired one shot over the animal's head.
The animal stopped, reared and crashed away into the forest.
