    Wired moose By TIM MOWRY, Fairbanks Daily News-Miner
    In one of those only-in-Alaska stories that will shock even the sourest of sourdoughs, a trophy-sized bull moose was accidentally strung up in a power line under construction to the Teck Pogo gold mine southeast of Fairbanks. The moose apparently got its antlers tangled in electrical wire before workers farther down the line pulled the line tight about two weeks ago.

    The moose was suspended 50 feet in the air when workers, recognizing something was wrong, backtracked and found it.
