THREE MEN KILLED BYA BEAR.
The San Jose Zeal. hSepenlen, says;
On tho 18th inst, three men, whose
usmes'sre unknown, but who kept dai-
ry on the. San Bcniio ranch, came to
their death in most horrible manner.
On Thursday one Of their COWS strayed
away and was lost. On the next morn
ing, before breakfast, two of them start
ed out to take look for the missing ami
NAL. After travelling up the raviue for
some distance, they discovered the COW
lying among the bushes. Thinking she
was asleep they went up to start her
hong but it appears that the COW had
been killed by grizzly, which was at the
time lying by her side As the men ap-
preached, the bear leapcd upon the fore
most one, and, throwing him to the
ground, tore out his en!rails, and then,
seizing the second, caught his head in its
mouth, bit it entirely of, mangl;ng it
fearfully. The bear then resumed his
former position by the body OF the dead
COW. The man who was first attacked
did not die Immediately, but had strength
enough left TO drag himself short dis
lance from the SPOT.
In the sreantime the man left at the
Carp having prepared breakfast, went to
call up his companions. Finding their
trail, he followed it until he saw the COW
lying in the bushes, and thinking he
would drive her home, he approached the
spot, when the bear spriugiug upon him,
instantly killed him, maugling him in
most horrible manner. The surviving
victim, who was lying in the bushes
at short distance from the scene, wit
messed his approach and death, but was
so terribly wounded that he wa, unable
to give any warning. The bodies were
found n short. time afterwards, and cor
vcyed to the camp, where the survivor
died during the ensuing night, after re.
laiting the affair IS stated above. The
bear is the same one which has been in
that vicinity fot the last ten years, it be-
ing known from its peculiar track, hav-
ing lost three of its toes from one of its
feet.
