“Took On Water,” The Kalispell Bee, Jun. 29 1901,
“Took On Water. Fred Shattuck, who was up on Whitefish lake the other day, doing a little fishing and prospecting, ran across a game slightly larger than he expected. A big grizzly, with a stripe in her face and two cubs, jumped up from behind a rock on Hell-Roaring creek and Fred took to the water. The she-bear pranced around for a few minutes and after taking possession internally of the fine trout which Fred had cached in his basked, walked away with her head in the air. Fred did not kick so much against the loss of the trout as he did for being stood in the ice cold water for half an hour.”
