In brief: Club’s creditors want ex-billionaire Blixseth to stay in jail

BILLINGS – Creditors of Montana’s Yellowstone Club for the ultra-rich said Friday that its founder should remain in the jail, where he has been held for almost two months for not disclosing what happened to $13.8 million from a property sale in Mexico.

Onetime billionaire Tim Blixseth, 65, of Medina, Washington, has been pursued by the exclusive club’s creditors since it went bankrupt in 2008 and was sold to new owners. Attorneys for the creditors say Blixseth owes their clients $286 million that he drained from the club for personal use.

On Friday, they described as a repackaged mishmash more than 9,000 pages of financial documents submitted by Blixseth last week as he seeks to be freed from the Cascade County Jail.

Bear euthanized in Grand Tetons

MOOSE, Wyo. – Wildlife officials have euthanized a 3-year-old female black bear they say became too habituated to visitors in Grand Teton National Park.

The bear was put down Thursday after it climbed into the open trunk of a vehicle at Jenny Lake Lodge, ate some food and then tried to get into the main part of the car. Witnesses say the 125-pound bear visited some nearby cabins before she ripped into items left in a housekeeping cart and stole a purse, which she carried off into the woods.

Park biologists say once a bear acquires human food, it often loses its fear of people and may become dangerous.
