Bedrock bear tale inspires road labor concept and cautionary yarn
Dillon resident George R. Cletley recounts a 30 year old Redrock Montana incident where a stock tender’s bear escapes a killing plot and a traveling man pays for a failed hunt. The tale ends with two brothers discovering the bear later, tying a collar initial to the stock tender, and a broader note on convict labor for roads.
