Besieged by a Bear.

From the Chico (Coi) Enterprise.1
A few days since G.. w. Colby, the
prominent rancher of NOrd, had an adj
venture in the mountains which gave
proof to the saying that bear hunting is
all right as long as you hunt the bear,
but its mighty poor sport when the bear
hunts you. He had taken his family to
one of his ranches near the Butte mea-
dows for Il short season of rest, and be-
ing an ardent sportsman he took along u
splendid gun, some dogs and plenty of
ammunition. For two or three days he
tramped around the hills, but found the
game rather scarce. But ON his next
hunt he had all the sport he wanted, and
seasoned with just enough excitement to
make it interesting. He had gone out
late in the afternoon and in a few mo-
ments managed to bag good sized
bear. While gloating over his prize he
was Mortified to hear some furious
growls, and turning around saw not ten
feet distant another huge "varmint |"
making straight for him. He instantly
dropped his gun and Skinned up small
sapling with all the agility of mon
key. The bear had been freed, and af-
ter smiling round the dead body of its
mate he gave some frightful yells and
came to the tree and camped for the
night. 1t was case of siege and things
looked squally. The night was cold and
dark. and Mr.. Colby's position was any
thing but agreeable, but he froze TO his
elevated perch like grim death to the ne
gro. He was kept there oil night and
well along into the next day, when his
tyrant became frightened Mt something
and left for the brush. Mr.. Colby ut
once left the spot and now looks for
smaller game,

Paterson humorist. He CHANGED to have
in his pocket bill of fare of a Paterson
coffee-house, where the rates are ex-

table near where he was sitting ut dinner

had reckoned without his host-literally.
Instead of 20 cents for a porterhouse
