Lost in the City
A small bear cub spent Thursday night stuck in a tree beside the Elkins Inn & Suites off Harrison Avenue in Elkins. Officials from the Department of Natural Resources and Elkins City Police spent several hours Friday morning trying to rescue the stranded animal. Ultimately, a city of Elkins bucket truck was used to shake the bear out of the tree to DNR officials waiting below with a net. The bear was not injured during the rescue.
