Notes From
the Seattle
Exposition
BULL MOOSE FOUGHT TO DEATH.
A story of a battle to the death be
tween two giant moose In the isolated
regions of the Kenai Peninsular, Alas
ka, has come to light with many other
interesting stories in connection with
the exhibits in the Alaska building at
the Alaskan-Tukon-Pacific exposition.
Two moose horns, locked together,
the largest measuring 61 inches from
tip to tip tell the^tory of the battle.
It is evident that the animals were
engaged in mortal combat and their
horns became interlocked. They were
unable to release themselves and died
together of starvation.
Th skull and the horns were found
by one of the numerous mining parties
which visited that country and were:
sent to the exposition as a curiosity. 1
There is another pair of lockied
horns only smaller in ^ze that were
found near Fairbanks, Alaska.
