Bears

Yellowstone
May 27, 1932.
This morning a trip was made to
Stephenson construction camp about 3
miles out of Mammoth on the Norris
road.
Mrs. Stephenson says that she has
warned the men not to feed bears.
She seems to be aware of the inevitable
consequences of such practices. Last
night a black bear came into camp
and up to one of the lundle doors. The
dog in camp drove the bear away.
The reports about 3 or 4 bear visits
this spring. No damage has been done
yet.
The garbage is thrown in an open
pit about 100 yards from camp, behind
a big rock. I could find no tracks
nor evidence of a bear visit to the
garbage pit.
