Bear attacks three teenagers

WEST YELLOWSTONE, Mont. (UPI)— Foresters said Tuesday a grizzly bear that attacked three campers Sundayafter a similar incident last week hadn’t been killed the first time because “no one likes to go out and just shoot wildlife.” The bear was shot after the second attack, in which he bit three teen-agers from New York City. None of the youths was injured seriously and they continued their coast-to-coast trip to San Mateo, Calif. Josh Levinson, a 15-year-old high school student, was the most seriously injured. He was bitten above the left elbow when he threw his hand over his head to protect himself. •‘We had heard there were bears wandering around,” Levinson said Tuesday in San Mateo, “but we never thought one would attack us.” Two 15-year-old girls, Hilary Wiederhorn and Michele Plunkett of New York, were also bitten, but only suffered minor bruises. Levinson and Miss Wiederhorn were in their sleeping bags in one tent when the youth said he heard the bear rip one of the tent's walls. “I heard the bear come into the tent,” Levinson said. "He bit Hilary first and I put my

hand over my head. “Then he came at me, but he just bit my arm.” The boy said someone shined a flashlight at the bear and fired a shot with a .22-caliber pistol. The shot scared the bear Off. “We ran over to another camper in his trailer and he drove us to the doctor in West Yellowstone,” the boy said. Small Grizzly Levinson said the bear was a small grizzly, about 450 pounds. Phil Hoskins, district Forest Service supervisor in West Yellowstone, said the bear was an “outcast” with a history of attacking humans. Hoskins said the bear, which was killed after the incident, had also attacked another man last week but rangers didn’t want to shoot it then. The bear’s body, described as “underweight and gaunt,” was taken to a laboratory at Bozeman, Mont., for tests. Montana game and fish officials said they didn’t know what cause the attacks. Hoskins said the bear was not destroyed after biting the first man last week because “no one likes to go out and just shoot wildlife. “On the other hand, when you have repeated bitings and molesting of people sooner or latjr it winds up with campers killed ani w-3 didn’t want that.” He said the bear was taken to a remote spot after the first attack, but the bear returned.

Issues new ruling on marshlands RICHMOND, Ind. (UPI)—Director John E. Mitchell of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources said Tuesday owners of marshlands around edges of Indiana lakes probably will be blocked if they try to fill in such land or excavate it. Mitchell outlined the new policy at a meeting here Tuesday of the Richmond Rotary Club. Mitchell said that under an unused 1947 law, his depart, ment will begin preserving lake shorelines. One of the barriers to such preservation has been that many lakes do not have a legally determined shoreline, which must be done through circuit court action, or by recording of existing water levels or soil characteristics. Mitchell said the department has begun a survey of the larger Indiana lakes to determine such shorelines and also plans a similar study for some of the larger streams. “Hereafter the department will not recommend to the commission the granting of a permit for any excavating, filling in, or otherwise changing the contour of any marshaland within the shoreline which is part of a public fresh water Jake which still has a chance of being preserved,” he said.

Pohir bears are found only in the northern polar region.

By HELENE ANNE SPICER BUENA VISTA, N.J. (UPI)Mrs. Mary Howell and three of her 10 children had earned a total of $10.10 for a 12.hour day of picking blueberries Tuesday. At day’s end, they wearily boarded a wickety yellow schoolbus with 36 other migrant farm laborers for the journey back to their home in Wilmington, Del. The Howells excitedly discussed plans for spending their wages at a church picnic Thursday. “Suddenly, the bus seemed to stall at the railroad tracks,” Mrs. Howell recalled. In the next instant, a passenger train taking commuters from Philadelphia to their Atlantic shore homes slammed the bus broadside. Nine Killed The force of the collision hurled the 15-year.old bus Into the air, overturning it several times. Bodies flew out the torn sides of the vehicle, some landing as far as 200 feet from the railroad crossing. Nine of the migrant laborers were killed, 23 others injured. None of the 100 passengers aboard the Pennsylvania -ReadingSeashore line train was injured. Mrs. Howell, 50, was knocked out of her shoes but escaped injury. So did her daughter, Yvonne, 12. “But I didn’t see my boys right away, so I went looking— Body recovered RENSSELAER, Ind. (UPI)Darrvel Cotner, 17, Rensselaer, drowned Tuesday night in a reservoir three miles west oi here while playing water football with 20 other boys. Cotner did not know how to swim.

up the track,” she sobbed in the emergency room of Kessler Memorial Hospital. “Yes, I saw them lying there. ‘Oh, Lord, my boys,’ I thought. I screamed. I turned around. I couldn’t stand it.” Sons Die Mrs. Howell’s two sons who picked berries with her Tuesday, Eugene, 15, and Andre, 13, were among the nine dead. The accident occurred at 6:25 p.m. EDT at a quiet crossing in this small community halfway between Philadelphia and Atlantic City in the heart of the lush New Jersey farmland, where

approximately 8,000 migrant farm laborers are working this season. The bus in which Mrs. Howell and her family was riding was owned by Charles Bradley of Chester, Pa., a “crew leader” for the Crescent properties at Mays Landing, N.J., where Mrs. Howell and the others worked. The bus driver Love Clark, 33, of Wilmington, was among the injured and was under sedation at the hospital. State police said the bus recently had passed safety inspection after two successive failures.
