According to the article, the passenger steamer "Bear" ran aground south of the Bear River on June 14, 1916, and "The Humboldt Times" newspaper co-owner J.H. Crothers offered $500 to the owners of the ship for the rolls of newsprint that were aboard. The article discusses the efforts to salvage the paper.
