Sleeping Montana camper bitten by black bear

A spokesman for Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks says garbage at a campsite in Mineral County likely attracted a black bear that bit a Washington man on the head early Monday. Rob Holmes of Ellensburg, Wash. required 21 stitches on his earlobe after the bear bit him through his tent as he and a friend slept up Little Joe Road just southwest of St. Regis. Missoulian.
