A second, while hunting in the Sierra Msrgaritrs, came suddenly up on monstrous she grizzly and three cubs Tn thicket of chapparAl. He was so startled that his hair bristled with indignation, and his rife fell from his trembling fingers. The bear was rushing upon him with fOaming chop and he turned to fly. A loud crash behind him and dull thud induced him to glance over bis shoulder when lo! bruiny with feet ia tho air, was struggling on the ground in the last throes of death. The gun on falling had lodged on bush the muzzle in- c!iaing forward.
