Cub Bear Caused Excitement.

A cub bear. about ten months old,
caused much excitement ut Moose
Lake. MINI, the other day when II
walked into town and scratched at the
back door OF a local restaurant. The
cook thought II was the owners dog.
Her discovery that It was not began a
series Of activities In the kitchen

by the bursting Of a high explosive
shell. When the cause OF the disturb
ance was learned the men Of the town
formed an escort and drove the cub
back to fits haunts. Bears are pro-
tected by law and for that reason II
was not killed.
