The Ventura California Signal re.
lates the following: 1--WE forgot to notea
little incident that took place here
some time ago that was we'll worthy of
:ecorl, illustrating California youth
and life. Two hoys, aged respective
ly twelve and fourteen years, sons of
w Il. Foster. of Mdntecito. and r. r.
Hall, of the DIAL ranch, were out Oh
the mountains on horseback, looking
for their cows, when they discovered u
young grizzly bear toddling along in
the trail. They had been long enough
here to know the danger of trying to
catch the little fellow, the ierncious
dam rarely being beyond the cries of
her young. But the temptation was
too strong for youthful discretion, and
keeping an eve on the varmint, they
began hallooing, and finally being eon-
vinced that the old one WAS not near,
they rode up to him, an |, with the
dexterity Of old vanqueros, quickly
succeeded in fastening the lariat about
his neck, and took him safely home.
1t was feat as dangerous AS daring,
and sport that old hunters would
uot care to indulge in unless exceed
ingly we'll mounted.
