Teamsters Interview with @ Bear

j Mono county, says the Bodie Free
Press, presents q grand field. for con-
quest for the enthusiastic hunter of the
lower country, where such small fry as
quail, ducks ani rabbits are the only
game that can be found to shoot at.
Up here the grizzly roams about seek
ing whom he may deyour. Below
Bridgeport this native of the woods is
beginning to be troublesome on account
Of its frequent approaches to civilization.
A few days ago teamster, who had IN
charge an eighteen-nule team and q
heavy load of freight, was delayed
several hours in his progress by a
grizzly. He had hauled the heavy
wagon to the top of hill and left the
'back action" at the foot. 1t being
about dinner time, he left his team and
returned to the foot of the hill to take
his lunch, and was seated ON the loa !
enjoying his frugal repast, when there
appeared at the rear of the wagon a
huge grizzly. The animal say the
teamster on top and walked about sur,
veying the scene. The man on top had
no firearms, and was in moment con-
fdent that he was in state of siege.
To get off his load and run was folly, so
he sat and surveyed his enemy. The
bear seemed to enjoy the situation, and
was not at all worried. Occasionally
he would sit on his launches and look
at the teamster, and then content him
self by picking up the pieces of lunch
thrown to him. In the meantime the
teamster grew nervous, faring that it
was ".gone game" with him. His wife
and children in Carson were thought of,
ana the trip to Bodie seemed dubious.
The animal remained there about two
hours, and concluding that it was of no
use to stay, walked off to the wooded
hills. The teamster made for the wagon
on the hill, and the few gray hairs that
are now seen distributed among his
raven locks are attributed to this inter-
view with bruin. se
