The black bear which came to Dumas January 3, 1973 and subsequently died in a fall from a tree was mounted by a taxidermist and brought back to Dumas Last Wednesday. Police Chief A. L. Morgan, who collected $500 in donations to have the animal mounted, brought the mounted bear back here. It will not be placed on display until a glass case is obtained.
