4 MUTUAL SURPRISE.
The Meeting Between IN Ambitious
Hunter and His First Grizzly,

In sketches Of Life In the Golden
State" Colonel .ilLS:I :. Evans tells an
amusing anecd3t,. i IN ambitious
hunter who met his :..Ist grizzly bear
in procession. ':hc Incident occurred
in the woods near the site Of the pres
ent town of Monterey.
The hunter sal down to rest in the
shade of a tree and ulwittinSly went
TO sleep. When he woke. it was near
sunset. and he sat up, rubbing his eyes
and contemplating return to his hote!
several miles distant.
Just then Il ruStliHG and cracking
noise from n clump OF chaparral ABOUT
! 100 yards away attracted his attention.
Out walked q grizzly bear. 4 monarch
of his kind. He yawncd. licked his
jaws and then advanced toward the
tree where our hunter sat. but evident
ly was unconscious of his preScacc.
His grizzly majesty had proceeded
about 30 PAGES when 4 female bear fol-
lowed him, and IN instant later 4 third
grizzly followed her at 4 slow, sham
bling pace.
The hunter sat spellbound with ter
ror as the procession came toward him
until the forward grizzly was within
80 yards. Then. scarcely realizing
what he did, he sprang to his feet and
uttered frenzied yell-yell upon yell!
The effect was magical. The fore
most bear sprang into the air. turned
sharply about, knocked the female
down, rolled over her. gathered himself
up and bolted like 40 carloads Of
rock going down a shoot straight for
the chaparral again. the other two
bears close at his heels and never turn
ing to see what had frightened them.
The hunter, seeing the enemy re-
treating, sprang to his feet and fed at
top speed for the hotel. leaving hat and
gun behind. The truth Of his wild and
startling tale was proved the next day
by the numerous bear tracks Of differ
ent sizes found in the marshy ground
near by. But the three bears had gone
off beyond pursuit.
