COLFAX — Avista Utilities says a beaver is to blame for a power outage in Colfax.

The utility says a beaver chewed through the tree that fell on a line about 2 a.m. Monday, cutting electricity for about 600 residents. Service was restored by 7 a.m.

The Moscow-Pullman Daily News reports the beaver remains at large.
