A MUTUAL SURPRISE.
The Meeting Between an Ambitious
Hunter and His First Grizzly.

In "Sketches of Life In the Golden
State" Colonel Albert S. Evans tells
an amusing anecdote Of an ambitious
hunter who met his first grizzly bear
in procession. The incident occurred
in the woods near the site Of the pres
ent town of Monterey.
The hunter sat down to rest in the
shade of a tree and unwittingly went
TO sleep When he woke it was near
sunset and he sat up, rubbing his
eyes and contemplating return to his
hotel, several miles distant.
Just then a rustling and cracking
noise from a clump Of chaparral about
100 yards away attracted his atten-
ton. Out walked a grizzly bear,
monarch of his kind. He yawned,
licked his jaws and then advanced to-
ward the tree where our hunter sat,
but evidently was unconscious Of his
presence.
His grizzly majesty had proceeded
about twenty PAGES when female
bear followed him. and an instant later
q third grizzly followed her at a slow,
stumbling pace
The hunter sat spellbound with ter
ror as the procession came toward him
until the forward grizzly was within
thirty yards Then. scarcely realizing
what he did, he sprang to his feet
and uttered a frenzied yell-yell upon
yell.
The effect was magical The fore

sharply about. knocked the female
