Night Bear Attack in Santa Cruz Valley Endangers Two Men
North Adams Transcript recounts a perilous night as Charley and Harry, two travelers returning to camp after a 25 mile trek, fend off a grizzly bear that drags Harry from his tent. Charley shoots the bear, loses a rifle, but survives with help from their dog. The bear is finally killed after Charley drives a rock strike and gunfire, freeing Harry. The dog aids in defense while a cub bear is found later and chained for Harry’s recovery.
