How a Young Californian Obliged Quar-
relsome Partisan.
The experience of young man. we'll
known in social circles. during a visit
in Paris is about as funny as they make
them. II seems a party of young
Americans, including the adventurous
Californian and 4 notable joker from
New York, found themselves late one
night at ball in Paris. The wine had
been flowing freely. and the town was
rather on the riot. The Americans
were having lots of fun, when in pass
ing 8 group of Frenchmen the New
Yorker stepped accidentally on q Pa
risian toe. The Partisan tapped him
gently on the shoulder.
.You trod on my toe, SIR"
"Did IL didn't see any toe"
You are insulting. sir. Here is my
card"
The American took the card, looked
at il, then very solemnly put his hand
i'm his pocket and handed over another.
1t was the Californian's card, which he
happened to have. Next day principal
and second called at the rooms of the
Californian. He received them blandly.
You are not the man who trod on
my toe" said the Frenchman,
''Oh, yes. am. You are mistaken"
mo, no. 1t was some other gen.
tleman.'
do you mean to tell me | lie ?"
asked the Californian. 81 tell you |
stepped on your toe"
I'VE have called to demand saisfac-
ton"

The other American. anticipating
fun, had dropped in.

MAN.

party
You are, but"
And can choose any weapons"
Certainly, but -"
..All right. Here you are"
And he brought out pair of boxing
gloves.
Put 'em on and wen have it out
here.
The Frenchman could not but ac-
cept. The door was locked and their
honor was satisfied by both principal
and second Being knocked about so
fearfully that they kept their beds for
a week. But they had their revenge,
for they put the police on the Ameri-
cans track and worried them SO that
they got out of Paris.-San Francisco

oeheSsf bidWeu Tells How He Chased q
Drove Of Them In California In iS43.
AT the dinner given recently by Will
5. Green TO the pioneers of Colusa
County, General Bidwell told this re-
markable bear story: Il did not visit
this part of the valley, in the present
boundaries of Colusa County, until the
month of March, 1915, and it was by
coming across at French Crossing, oil
Butte Greek. l remember the scene that
greeted me as. when we were within
about three miles of Butte Greek. We
saw a big grizzly jump up and make
for the creek. The bear i'm early
spring used to frequent the little
patches of clover that grew in a6und-
ance in spots here and thee-gener-
ally in little depressions. Mr.. Grizzly
that we first saw was not long alone.
Pretty soon another and then another
jumped up, and when We came to
Butte Greek We had q drove of sixteen
big grizzlies. | was riding very
high-lived sorrel horse. l singled out
the largest grizzly. and was determined
to kill him, but every time attempted
to raise my gun my horse would COM
mence bucking and jumping fu-ieusly.
SO that | could not get = shot ut him.
Finally / chased him until / thought he
was almost ont of breath-got to going
very slow. He did not run very fast.
because he was very large. He
was the largest and Oldest, I think, of
all Of them, and determined to have
shot at him. went up to almost
twenty feet of him and got off nv
horse, and the horse tried to pull away
from me, and the bear stopped and
raised on his hind feet, and stood about
six or eight feet high; and then have
q recollection that my hair stood up.
too. / finally got my horse subdued.
but the bear had gone on toward Butte
Greek, so | was greatly disappointed.
as did not get the bear. We
got into Colusa County and pretty
soon grizzly sprang up, and l put
after him; and pretty soon he turned
and put after me, and for'about a quar-
ter of mile, every jump he made he
just struck my horses tail: and Peter
Lassen, all he did was to tell me to run
He light have come up and diverted
the bears attention, but no, he let the
bear alone. But | had the advantage
of the bear, as was on good horse,
and pretty soon we came to a place
where there was a slough. and then 1
made him 60 into the water; then I
knew what to do. When he got up on
the other side | was ready He crawled
up slowly. all dripping wet; then he
raised mp on his hind feet to look at
me. My gun went of. and. loi | saw
a stream of blood about as large as my
arm. apparently. squirt into the air,
and then he gave two or three bounds
and fell dead. That is the way We
used to attend TO grizzlies in those days.
! did not see any grizzlies yesterday
coming along. Things nave been
ehsnged. "-SdcFuneRtO Bee.
