Wisc. black bear chills atop store's beer cooler

Wisconsin DNR authorities tranquilized and removed a 125-pound black bear from Marketplace Foods & Liquor Depot in Hayward late Thursday after it entered the automatic door and sat atop a 12-foot beer cooler for about an hour. "The standing joke up here was that it was the 'Hamm's bear,'" said store manager Jon LeBlanc. The Eau Claire Ledger-Telegram.
