An Encounter with a Grizzly.

Crossing over the trail from Bear val
ley TO San Bernardino, we encountered
grizzly bear standing directly i'll our
path. My guide strongly advised max
ing a detOur and leaving bruin in pos
session of the pass, but thought of my
California stock bought at 60, and de-
termined to be avenged upon this bIuin
for what | had suffered at the hands of
the California street bears. | had il
heavy Sharps rife, and putting hand
full of cartridges into my vest pocket to
expedite rapid loading, approached
within 60 yards, and, dismOunting,
gave my lariat to the guide, telling him
if he attempted to run off with the
horses | would shoot him. | then took
deliberate aim at the bears head and
fired. With roar which sounded to
me like that of 40 lions combined, he
bounded toward me. Hastily reload
ing, | fired again, and was so fortunate
us to break one of his fOrelegs. This so
checked his advance that | was able to
give him four more shots before we
came to close quarters. Owing to my
rifle having become heated from rapid
firing, had some difficulty in extract
ing an exploded cartridge, and by the
time | was prepared To deliver my
seventh and last shOt-fOr | had no
more cartridges in my pOcket-my en-
emy was within 10 feet OF me. | could
see that nearly every shot had taken
effect. One bullet had plowed deep
| furrow from near the end of his nose to
his left eye, under which it had lodged
From IA wound in his neck the blood
was spouting in heavy, rapid jets. His
end was evidently close at hand, but
mine might be even nearer. All de-
pended upon the chance he would give
me to put in my next shot. Even if
had had more cartridges, l knew thai
[ would not have time to reload.
Ieveled my rifle, and as l did so the
bear raised upon his hind legs as if tC
embrace me. His left paw hung help
less by his side, my second shot having
shattered the leg above the knee. Th'
long claws on his other paw looked
anything but pleasant, as he extended
it with the evident design of ''goins
short" on me. As he raised his paw h,
exposed his breast, and | sent my las
bullet through his heart. He did no
Immediately drop, but settled bacl
upon his launches and glared at me fO
an instant with the fury of 10000 dev
) lis in his eyes; then with a growl O
disappointed rage he gave one convul
slve spring forward and fell dead a
my feet. l examined my dead prize
and found that six of my seven shot
had struck him. l came to the con
clusion then and there to give ''griz
Fly" wide berth for the future. 1t take
too much lead to kill him.-COrrespOn
