e e e A GRLZZLY BEAR HUNT. Romanee. On my first overland journey to Cali fornia, in 1851, we made camp one even- ing among the foothills on the south- eastern slope of Book mountain, As no Indians had troubled us, nor “'sign" been seen for the preceding six days, we somewhat relaxed our accus- tomea vigilance on this occasion. The ten wagons wore corralled as usual. but instead of being confined within the en- closure after nightfall, our horses and mules were merely hobbled and allowed to graze at will on the rich buffalo grass of a little valloy, lying between o adjacent hills, Among the stock was a valuable thor- oughbred mare, belonging to Sam Tount, our guide. During the journey this animal had brought forth a foal, a Jovely little thing, now two weeks old, the espocinl pride of its ownor and the pet of the whole party. As the young- ster's sire was a famous Kentucky racer, Sam set great store by it and would not have parted with it for its weight in- well, perhaps not gold, but certainly in silver. The colt, ot course, was not shackled In any way, and when last seen was play- fully wamboling about its mother, as she fed. In order to reach this particular camping place, we had that day made an exceptionally long march and every man of us was unusually tived, 0, be- lieving that no dangcr of threatened, we did not post sentries at all, but retired early to our wagon beds for a good sleep. “The night passed guictly, and nothi oceurred to disturh our slumbers until just at daybreak in the morning. all were suddenly awakened by a con- fused, thunderous trampling, blended with the noise of clashing metal, “Indians! Indians!” some one shouted, ns, grasping our ready weapons, we tumbled out to the ground. “Indians nothing,” said the guide, “if *twas, you'd never have a chance to say 80, 'The reds don't gen'rally wake folk up that way. Why, thunder alive! | it's a stampede of the cattlej see them come!” Sure enough, in the gray light of dawn we now saw, only a few yards from | the corral, the whole drove of horses nnd mules clattering painfully along, apparently in frantic efforts to escape gome impending pevil. A perfect pic- ture of terrified rage, Tount’s mare-led the van: but the precious colt was no- where to be seen. “Here, Flora, here. ter, old girl?” soothingly called Sam, stepping out from the enclosure. In response to the well known voice, the beautiful ereature limped up to her master’s side and, distressfully whin- neying. rubbed her nose against his cheek, while her great, frightened eyes seemed, plainly as articulate specch to appeal for help. “Boys!" excitedly shouted “gomething’s happened to the colt, Come along, half a dozen of you, quick! The others must stick to the corral, for it's just possible the cattle may have scented Indians.” I and five others, who happened to be fully dressed, instantly started off with our'leader, hoping to find that the foal had mevely been left behind by the herd, scared, perhaps, by a prowl wolf or two. The little dell, where the stock had been feeding, was about 400 yards from camp. On arviving there, we could at flvst see no signs of the colt, but presently, ns the light broadened into day, Tount, who was scouring the outer edge of the valley, uttered a startled ¢ Hurrying up to him, we saw a small pool of blood on a spot of grassless ground, in the shade of a great boulder, and right in the middle of the pateh so moistened, the enormous footprints of a bear! “My little beauty Sam, gone, boys—killed and carried. off by a grizzly,” moaned Sam; “sce where the brute's dragged it away to the hills.” There could be no doubt of the fact; for a broad trail of crushed grass, flecked by oceasional spots of blood, led dirvectly toward the mountain, though in some places the powerful monster had evidently borne his prey clear of the ground altogether. Sam was furions. “Boys, we'll kill that old devil if we have to stay here a week,” he savagely said, *but I guess we can do it this afternoon. You can see by the looks of the blood that he's not been gone long. What do you say— shall we go on now, or return to camp and get breakfast first?” “‘Best take a square meal to begin on, Sam. The job muy tuke longer than you think. Besides, vhe other fellows will want to know what's up,” replied one of the men. hat's 80,” assented Tount, a1d we went back to the corial. After a hasty breakfast the samo six of us, all young men under 27 and fully armed, left cnm;ll with the guide deter- mined, if possible, to avenge his loss and enjoy the fun(?) of killing a grizzly— none of the seven, barring Sam Tount and myself, having ever had the chance of coming to close quarters with that formidable beast. At the time I write of, breech-loading guns had not come into general use, but each one of us cars loading rifle, a heavy ( volver and the indispensable hunting knife, At once picking up the bear's trail we followed it easily so long as it kept to & grass or soil-covered formation, but after that, when it entered a rocky, mountain- ous region, we had nothing” to guide us except the occasional displacement of a loose stone or, perhaps, the frayed edge of u stunted shrub—no blood drops being now visibl J *“I'he old villain has made straight for bio lair, likely in some deep canyon,” observed Tount, after we had gone up and down the broken ranges for over a mile. By and by the trail came out ypon a platean of “smooth, soilless rock, and here we lost it. Our guide, however, was an old beur hunter, and knew the country well, “We'll separate soon, boys,” he said. “A little way to the west of this he wht there's two ugly, black ravines. They lie end on to the plateau and that mur- dering old thief has gone into one of them, sure, Four of you best tuke the one to the left, and I, with two men, will hunt that to the riglit. “But, mina! you've got no fool bear to deal with, These old g lies &rv as cunning as Satan himself, This one's & whopper, and he'll likely see, or scent, or hear you before you catch a eight of him.

Jotter call the other fellows over, Tount,” I suggested in a whisper. “They'il want to see the fun.” oy conldn't hear us, even if it would do to yell now, and shooting's out of the question,” he answered in_the same low tone. “Let them go on. Like as not they'll run on to another grizaly, The brutes are no ways scarce 'round h " which last observation greatly delightea Charlie, who, in his ignor- ance, would have tackled a grizzly bear or a mountain lion single-handed. On clambering down to the ravine, we found it to be a frightfully gloomy place, encumbered by ged rocks and loose bouldevs and everywhere over- ywh with aspen bushes, thorns and but along its bottom ran a deeply indented, tortuous path, e dently trodden out by the constant pagsing and vepassing of wild beasts. Restraining our impetuous young by signs, we made our way silently and with extreme caution along this path, the guic with his rifle so held as to be instantly available, taking the lead. We had gone, however, ce 300 yards, when he suddenly stopped. and; with a beckoning motion of one hand, called us up. On coming alongside, wo saw, on an open spot by a little spring, the half- congumed remains of the unfortunate colt. Obviously its epicurean slayer had reserved his breakfast until he could enjoy with it a cooling drink! in all my experience I have never known, in any eountry, a braver or more hardy man than Sam Tount; but now o gazed ruefully upon the mangled form at his feet, two great tears rolled down his cheeks. Then the fierce battle- light flashed once more in his eyes, and he huskily whispered “Ihat cursed brute's eaten his fill and has gone off somewhere to sleep. IUll never give up this hunt till I've seen him lying dead Now, one by one, while the others stood guard, we knelt by the spring and quenched our thiist: then we resumed our careful advance, for here and there, where the path was dusty, we could still see tracks of the bear So, with never relaxing vigilance on Sun's 't, we went on until the ravine lead ont to the edge of a broad, matted and seomingly impenetrable wilderness of densely growing vines, bushes and thorns, Hereall traces of our quarry were lost. Look as we might, we could see no spot where a beast so huge could possibly have enteved. his must be ‘Deadman’s grove, said Tount, speaking aloud now. the summer of 1849 T and two chums, r turning from California, went into from the west side —there's three open- ings there—and only one of us ever came out. An old she-grizzly killed my comrades after they'd both shot her behind the shoulder, before I'd come up. But,” he grimly added, “*she got my bul- let throngh her brain in less than a minute afterwards. It was a mighty dear hunt to me, for besides the loss of my partners, I found, after burying them under a heap of stones, that a big Brazilian diamond, which I'd put mosv all my wealth into, was missing.” “But, Sam,” T asked, “what in the world's rome of our bear?” ‘He's sneaked 'round through the »eks to the north, and gone inon t'other side. We'll have to do the same, for a cat couldn’t get in here. It's not more’'n a mile, I reckon.” Sam, as usual, proved to be right; for while we were skirting the northern boundary of the grove, we several times came upon the same old gigantic foot- prints, Tuarning to the left on reaehing the northwest corner of the grove, we found close at hand a well-defined opening. *'No use bottering with that,” car y said Tount, *'the cunning brute's to have gone into the far. one, close to the ridge. It's only 200 yards away. Boys, if you ever kept your eyes kinned and your ears open, do it now. hat trail's the one where my poor chums passed in their checks.” “Let me go in alone, Sam, cave a cont for the grizzly. His head's a big mark. Down in old Ohio I often barked a red squirrel in the top of a tall hickory, and I couldn't miss him,” im- pulsively eried Charlie Grant. The guide glanced pityingly at the boy, but merely said, *‘You'll beolder bimeby, Charlie,” and relapsing once more into dead silence we passed the middle opening and entered the mouth of that one nearest the ridge. "Twas u horrible place, strangely dark* noisome and oppressively hot, while alg about wore strewn shapoless masses of vock, interlaced and hall hidden by ping vines, giant cactiand poison ivy—a fit abode for noxious reptiles and baasts, But it was possible for two men to walk abreast on the path, and, di trusting 's prudence, I took my place by side. Amid an awful silence we crept slowly on, scanning each gloomy recess and tangled brake with such care as men whose lives were at stake might well exercise, The ground beneath our feet, beaten into soft dust by innumerable tracks, veturned no echo to our cautious footsteps, nor was there a breath of wind the scent of our bodies to any lurking creature, We had thus stolen along for nearly a quarter of a mile, when my companion stopped, quietly nudged me and stood intenuly gazing through a sort of aisle in the matted vines at something as yet unseen by me. But presently, noting the divection of his eyes, I saw lying on allat rock of nearly identical color a yellowish gray mass’of fur, Patting his mouth close to my e Sum whispered: *[t's the big grizzly. He's fast asleep. That's his back W sec. His head’s completely hidden. We must get a sight of it somehow.” _While the other hunter stood con- sideving [ havdly dured to breathe, and Leould feol young Grant close behind e trembling with excitement. Sam’s indecision lasted only for a woment, however: then he ‘stooped, picked up a small stone and deliberately pitched it on top of the sleeping monster, uot chirty feet from us, i u\\ninf and stretehing himself as if disturbed by a ll{,mu brute slowly rose, his tremendous bulk looming up above the surrounding bushes, was yet invisible, Very evidently he had not seen us and was about to lie down again when Tount gave & low whistle.” The effect was instantaneous, Phe bear stiffened into an attitude of watehful attention, and raising his huge hx.:ted nusyh-iounly sniffed the air, _Twas the last breath he ever drew. Coolly, as if shooting at a rabbit, Sam threw up his rifle and *touched the trig- ger. The heavy, pointed slug struck s} 1 don't but his head w of | the descent, overlooking the ravine to | and without a sound he sank shiveringly down, stone dead. Then Charlic Grant went wild, Whooping and yelling like a Co- manche he dashed through the thicket, sprang upon the rock and fairly danced on the carcass of our prize. The pelt, atno time very valuable, was not at this season worth removing: 0, after eating some lunch, brought with us, we began to retrace our steps, Charlie, no longer restrained of his freedom, prancing on ahead. “‘Best bo careful,” cautioned Tount, as the boy dodged behind a rock, ‘‘that's not the only bear in— Heaveas! what's that?” for "overlapping the last word came a smothered ery and the sound of a fall, Darting around the rock we found onr young comrade lying senseless on the ground and just behind him saw the re- treating form of a half grown grizzly. No chance for a head shot now, but with lightning-like quickness we both fired at the center of the animal’s back. One lucky bullet broke his spine, and with a hoarse, gurgling grunt he fell helpless in his tracks, to be the next instant despatehed by two pistol shots through the brain. Then we turned to Charlie, fearing the worst. The youth had been merely stunned, however, by a heavy blow upon his left shoulder, the ‘flesh of which was bruised and slightly torn, but no hones were broken, and in a few minutes he revived. “I'm some ‘older’ now, Sam,” he said as soon as he was able to speak. I never saw that brute at all, and didn't know what struck me.” You've had a wonderful escape, boy," rejoined Tount. “If that had been a full grown bear, you'd have been killed dead as a door-nail. Here, let me fix a sling for your arm; it'll be sort o' sore for a while. “This fun’s kind o' different from pop- ping red squirrels; isn't it?" thought- fully observed Char “Rather,” langhed along now.

T was some afraid that the bears would pull down the pile,” gravely said Tount. Then he began to tell us all about the catastrophe. ‘While he was doing so, Charlie, a lit- tle [faint, perhaps, from his hurt, sat down and was meditatively poking the ground with his wiping stick, when something caught his eye and, leaning forward, he drew from the black soil a minute roll of rubber cloth “What's this?” he idly buried my_ poor ed, holding gave one glance at the little package, then a mighty shout of joy, and hastily unvolling “the partially rotted rubber, showed us a great, uncut diamond, worth, he said, all of and more than the 3,200 he had paid fov it! wturally, the good fellow felt hugely ted by the strange, but, under the circumstances, easily accounted for, finding ot his long lost treasuve. Over and over again he shook hands with us, while to the fortunate finder he presently suid: “You've done the best day’s your life, Chavlie! I'll sell this pesky thing when we get to 'Frisco, and whack up with youa share and sharealike”—and 80, despite the boy's protestations, he ultimately did, though obliged to send the stone to New York in order to realize its full value.

A fow loads of pretty good corned cattle changed hands readily at #4170 and #4.80, while the few decent range steers in the s went, on the scales at around % to With the exception of the late arvivals a good ' s effected, the general tone to the markel being firm'throughout Cows und mixed stock made up less than a third of the supply, and with a good dem from all local houses and some outside in- quiry the market was active and a shade stronger gl around, The big bulk of the faiv to gobd butchers' cows chunged hands at from § to 230, Calves were in active demand and firm at from $2.25 to $4.50 for common tg choiwce stock, Rough stock wus freely moved at fully ady prices, gen- erally around $1.75 to & Conditions have improved considerably the past day or two in tho stocker and f branch of the trade. of the early partof tne week had been protty well cleaned up and the fresh stock moved freely at good strong prices, the demand be- ing good from both yard traders and out- siders, Good to fancy feeders are quoted at from £3 to #3.50: fair to good at from §2.50 to #3, with common and inferior at from § to §2.50. As a general thing the week before the opening of the regular winter pork packing season, November 1, witnesses a coucerted and vigorous effort on the part of packers to got prices down as low as possible, That Was the situation the past week. and wh the opening of the week was rather strong and the close only about a dime lower than o week ugo, the market during the middlo part of the week declined fully 30c or all grades, Conditions were not materiully different from what they have been for a month past. Owing to ngth in the lard market the big, hogs huve been in the best demand and sold at a be to 10c premium over light weights. As the shipping demand for lights has also dropped off somewhat these are selling slowly and at bottom prices. The fresh meat men were the most active buyers every day, the packers us a rule being eith indifferent or decidedly bearish. Shipments have been lighter than for months. The rea- son for this is undoubtedly to be found in the unusually high prices prevailing here as compared with other western markets. Every day the past weelk prices have been from b to 15¢ higher 0 at Kansas City and from 10¢ to 80c b v than at Sioux City. Solong as the active local demand brings such high prices hers shappers for eastern parties will prefer to operate at the cheaper markets—Kausus City and St Louis, The market today was a strong and active oue from start to finish, T'he receipls we 4 5410 141 5,160 that althougn Mon- comparatively 1t Cure , Coughs, Bare Thro enzs, Whoopiug Oough, Bronehi 4 certain oure for Consumption aada wure reliel 1o advazced siag You will see the exocllent effeot Bl Sl s very moderate and the quality was as poor as it has been any time for the past threo weeks, Chicago was higher and the local demand was very active, so that sellers had no difficulty in disposing of their holdings at prices fie to 10c higher than Friday.
