The black bear, whom officials believe was responsible for mauling and injuring a 3-year-old girl in Yellowstone National Park on Sunday night, was captured and euthanized by park authorities on Monday afternoon, according to the Associated Press. Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks Game warden Randy Hutzenbiler told the Associated Press that “there were attractants in the area,” such as trash and food, which led the bear to the campsite at around 10 p.m. on Sunday. The girl was then mauled by the bear in her tent and rushed to a Billings, Montana, hospital, where her condition has not been revealed to the press. Officials then laid traps around the campsite, capturing a bear which they claimed was responsible for the attack on Monday. The bear was then euthanized by Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks officials.

One Dunkin’ Donuts location, known for its familiar aroma of coffee and donuts, found itself temporarily closed after a state inspection uncovered a few issues. Not all Dunkin’ locations are created equal. Take the one at 3745 Pleasant Hill Road in Kissimmee, for instance. This particular branch, despite its efforts to keep customers caffeinated and satisfied, has had its share of mixed reviews.

A history-loving writer gets more than she bargained for on a backcountry horse-packing trip. I fell in love with a ghost two decades ago. I saw her headstone on display at a ramshackle museum in Cody, Wyoming, on my first real trip out west. She’d died in 1897, at age 30—the same age I was at the time—and ran a bar in the waning days of the Wild West. Had she been drawn there by the lure of Western dime store novels and tales of outlaws, just like I’d been drawn to NYC by tales of CGBGs and punk bands? I felt an immediate kinship, and I think she did too because she’s never left my mind since. She’s so insistent that she’s become the central character of my working novel.
