was startled by the appearance of a young
black bear close beside her, standing on
its hind feet. Raising q big hard wood
rolling pin, she brought 1t down with a
tremendous whack on the bears snout.
Bruin did not like this treatment, and
advanced toward the girl, fencing with
his fore paws. Again Miss Robinson de-
livered blow at her advancing foe, but
the bear had learned wisdom, and he deft-
~ parted the blow with his right paw
He then caught Miss Robinson's dress
with his other paw, tearing it from her
shoulder. In return she gave him a straight
right handler with the roller, which caught
him under the ear and set him down.
Bruin scrambled up from the second
round and was pretty mad. He shuffled
up to the girl, warily keeping both fore
paws extended and growing angrily. Miss
Robin son again landed a right roller, hit.
ting him squarely between the eyes. As
soon GS he recovered from the stunning
effects of the blow he endeavored to grasp
the girl in his paws. Selling big butcher
knife that lay on the tables Miss Robinson
lunged forward with it, its blade penetrat-
ing the bears neck. A bright stream fol
lowed its withdrawal and bruin was be-
coming groggy. Blow after blow with the
rolling pin fell upon his head, and after a
few minutes the brave girl had the salts
faction of seeing the animal roll over on
his side and expire.

Mon Against Grizzlies.

The death Of Thomas Seabring at Santa
Ana, Cal, tho other day. recalls to the
mind Of many IN old pioneer in the Gold
en- State one Of the most desperate fights
with grizzly bears ever recounted about
the fire in mining camp. Bret Harte made
the affair the subject of a poem in The
Overland Monthly in his days of appren-
ticeship as popular writer.
One day in the fall of 1858 three placer
miners who were on their way across the
mountains and through the timber were
travelling up o narrow canyon, almost .
gulch, in the Humboldt county mountains
in central California. The men were al
most famished, having had no food since
the noon OF the previous day. They passed
q huge bowlder and saw several hundred
rods ahead q family of eight grizzly bears.
Three were large, shaggy beasts, and the
others were probably year old. The
men held o hasty consultation, and, their
hunger making them desperate, and hav-
ing much ammunition with them, they
decided to attack the big fellows for the
sake of the steaks they might get. The
men looked to their old muzzle loading
guns and saw that their ammunition was
safe. Then they advanced upon the mighty
beasts, each man having arranged with
the others exactly where he was to shoot.
Thomas Seabring always claimed that
he had sense enough, as the men got near
the ferocious grizzlies, to give up the hunt
and climb for safety up q tree, with his
gun slung across his shoulder. The other
men, S. K Wood and Isaac Wilson, threw
prudence to the winds and advanced to
within 80 yards Of the bears. Wood fired
his rifle, and the nearest bear fAll, biting
and tearing the ground as though in the
agonies of death. While Wood was re.
loading his rifle Wilson brought down a
bear. Five of the grizzlies retreated I'M a
ravine, but one shaggy monster remained
with her fallen companions She sat erect
on her launches and turned her eyes on
the men as II daring them to battle. VIII
son, awed by her aspect, ran for a tree,
while Wood tried to reload his gun, but
found himself unable to ram the ball down
