Bloody bear paw baffles central Ill. authorities
DECATUR – Authorities say a bloody severed body part found along a central Illinois bike trail belonged to a bear. A walker found the mangled paw on Thanksgiving morning along the bike trail in Decatur. That triggered an investigation by the Macon County Sheriff’s Office. Deputies closed part of the path Friday when it was determined the body part did not belong to a human. The Decatur Herald & Review reported authorities have turned the paw over to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources in hopes of discovering how it ended up along the bike path. There was no sign of the rest of the bear. Sheriff’s Sgt. Ron Atkins said there’s no reason to worry about bears in the area. Black bears have not lived in Illinois since the 1800s.
Shipment of Christmas trees dumped in garden
VIENNA – An early seasonal delivery went badly wrong in Austria when a truck was involved in a crash and dumped 14 tons of Christmas trees in a resident’s garden. Police in Vorarlberg state, at Austria’s western tip, said the accident happened Friday night as a truck with a trailer loaded with trees drove through the town of Hohenems. The trailer hit a wall, tipped over and landed in the garden of a house. A police statement Saturday said that the fire service dispatched 30 people to recover the hundreds of fir trees. A passenger in the truck was injured and taken to a local hospital.
