The Cabin Owners Lament Bears Roam After Feeding
Bears fed daily on refuse from a fruit company warehouse in Marquette county. Wastage was trucked to a woods point for tents to feed. As trapping and hunting reduced the bears activity, fourteen cabins near the former site were broken into by bears seeking food. Four bears were caught in steel traps, one in a live trap, and one killed by a hunter.
