"Bear and For Bear"

Grizzly bears are becoming scarce In
California: still they are occasionally
found in the mountains. and when
found. their great size and strength
make them formidable antagonists.
Experienced hunters fear them accord
ingly. while the novice rashly seeks an
encounter In Sketches of Life in the
Golden State" Col. Albert s Evans
narrates the rash exploit of an over
Sanglline hunter.
\ venturesome Yankee came To Santa
barbara some years ago. and soon be-
came an adept ut throwing the lassO.
Hearing the Mexican cowboys talk of
lassoing the grizzly bear. he decided to
show them what he could do in that
line if he ever got Il chance.
One day he caI.Ie upon Il grizzly in a
favorable locality. He threw the lasso
with skillful aim and reined back his
trembling horse TO give the bear an
astoniSher. when the reata-which is
always attached to the pommel of the
sa,idle-came up taut.
Judge of the mans astonishment
when that bear quietly assumed sit
ting posture. took hold of the lasso. and
began To draw il in hand over hand.
The haplesS descendant of the Pill
grim Fathers stuck 10 the horse and
saddle until he saw the slack all drawn
in. and the bear and horse coming rap
idly together. Then. in panic. he de
seended and ran for Il tree. abandoning
the horse to its fate.
Two skillful men. operating from op-
posite sides. can master bear and
choke him between them: but with only
one man. one horse and one bear, 1t Is
another story.
