BLOODY FIGHT BETWBlN A CALIFORNIA
AND A GRIZZLY BEAR.-Last week a
young man left St. Andres for stroll
ever the hills, taking with him only a
pistol and knife, and in his wanderings
came on large grizzly bear, which i'm
mediately attacked him, and after q short
struggle struck him to the ground, throw
ing him on bis pistol side, thereby rem
dering it impossible to use that weapon
in his defence. He was able to draw his
knife, which he used pretty freely on old
bruin, and was shortly enabled to gain
his feet, when he pitched SO into his saw
age assailant, that the grizzly hauled off
for breathing spell. This was also an
advantage to the young man, which he
SO successfully employed as to be in
better condition to continue the fight.
The armistice lasted but for a short
time-the grizzly was caustiously coming
up to renew the battle, when the young
man, with knife in hand, although severe
ly wounded, charged upon the monster
with whoop and yell. burying his knife
in the animals neck, which being more
than he had reckoned on, and not at all
agreeable, old grizzly turned tail and
trotted off, fairly beaten in stand-up
fight of his own seeking. The brave
young fellow then bethought him of his
pistol, the contents of two barrels of
which he discharged into his retreating
foe. This is the second fight this young
man has had with bears. He was found
by his partner very much cut and torn,
removed to San Andres, where his wounds
were dressed, and he isnow in fair way
of recovery. We are sorry the name of
this brave fellow has escaped our memo
ry-he is well know in San Andres,
where lie resided. Colauares Chronicle.
