 A BEAR STORY FROM BUTTE CoUNrY.- !. A correspondent of the Butte (Califor. l nia) Record, writing from Inskip, on t July II, says: "Ou the l6th four or 8 five grizzlies appeared at the ranch of '- Eliza Perry (which is located five or
 fE bfEanch of festher River snd sf siesa fsa killing one of her young cattle, com. E. menced their gluttonous feast on its e carcass This was too outrageous for z Eliza to witness unmoved; her blood !. was up, and she did not wait to calcu- ,, late the chances. She leveled her rife | on ono of the largest among them, and ]. buried ball in his spine, which sent l. him spinning to the ground; but soon n with horrid screams he partially regain r. ed his feet, and made furious chargs n on his petticoated foe; but before hs d. got near enough to touch the brave IT woman, she had reloaded her rife, and ,a , sent another leaden messenger, into his D. corpus to do it's work, nor did she de- to sist until her eighth ball penetrated the
 large beast, which proved to be his qui- at etus, and he fell dead, while his com- W panions sought safety amid the 'hor. 'e rent hills.' There is quite . contrast o' between this and one that happened last m week at Crane Valley, when two Os e three grizzlies went to Dutchman'e O ranch at night, and stirred up sn excite y ment among his cattle. He went ous l. with three navy receivers, and shot one ,- of his own calves eighteen times, kill v ing it so dead that it smeIled bad in . t miuit,' while the grizzlies were stand ic ing round looking at the fun." 5, B.
