Ruel Williams met bear about
five rods off on Rapid Stream,
Thursday, when he was fishing, says
the Pennington Journal. Both were
considerably surprised, especially the
bear when Ruel threw a rock and hit
him. First the bear stood up like a
man and then made a run for it
across the stream. making the water
fly as he plunged through. The large
number of bear seen out around this
season is thought to DE due to the
