Pet Bear Killed
AFTER Shock
From Power Line

"Blackie'', the pet bear, made
his last stand toward freedom
last week at the Battlefield
Souvenir shop near Crow Agen-
cy.
The bruin broke out of his
cage last Friday and climbed
a nearby electric power pole
where he came in contact with
the wires and received the full
shock of the 7200-volt line.
Falling to the ground, Blackie
revived completely in a few
minutes and Immediately dash
ed around a building in one
direction while his owner, Gerry
williams, with rifle in hand,
ran around the building in the
opposite direction.
They met and there ensued
a hand-ro-hand combat to set
tie possession of Mr.. Williams
rifle. The sudden appearance of
other excited onlookers made
Blackie relinquish his hold on
the rifle, giving MIR. Williams
time to send "Blackie" on his
way to the Happy Hunting
Grounds, or wherever bears 20
when they leave this world.
Blackle's only surviver-not
next of kin is a pet buffalo
"Goofie", who now stands
mourfully beside Blackie's cage
and wonders what has happen
ed to his pal.
Mr.. Williams has the rifle,
complete with bear claWings on
the stock, as proof of the NOR
tai combat. Power was restored
in the line within a very few
minutes.
Many visitors have stopped at
the Souvenir shop during the
past few days and drove away
disappointed because Blackie
didn't come out of bis house
to greet them, and many child
rem in the community who
have watched him grow will
miss him.
