Mrs. George Myers, a bride of only
a few weeks, became lost in the woods
near Grizzly canyon, in the Sierra
Nevada mountains last week and had
quite an experience before she sue
ceeded in reaching the Myers ranch.
She spent a day and nearly all of the
night in the woods and suffered a
great deal before she was found by
one of the many cowboys who were
hunting for her.
Her husband, George Myers, a
prominent cattleman of Sierra. Valley,
had started into the woods with a
bunch of cattle one morning and a
few hours later Mrs. Myers had her
horse saddler and started out to catch
> with him. At last she became lost
in the woods and was unable to find
he trail again. She wandered through
the woods until darkness came. Then
he dismounted and led the horse,
caring that she would drive him over
I, cliff if she continued to ride in the
lark. She was frightened by the
ries of wild animals and mas con-
stantly in fear of being struck by a
r~attlesnake. She fell into the man
zanita bushes and received severe
scratches and waded through brorks and
stumbled against trees.
At last she became exhausted and
again mounted the horse and gave him
the rein. The animal travelled for
W. an hour through the toughest
kind of underbrush and at last came
against a fence. Mrs. Myers then fol-
lowed this fence for several miles and
was at last found by a cowboy, who
had beon sent out, with a score of
IRIS to search for the young wo-
man. The frightened husband was far
in the woods looking for his lost bride,
but by firing off his revolver the cow
boy notified him that his wife had
been found and in a short time he had
reached her side and she was relating
to him her experience in the dark and
dreary woods.
