HUNTER LASSOES A GRIZZLY

Bruin Escapes Bullets of Party of Hunters, but Falls Under the Lariat Downieville, Cal. —George Bynom, who was out with a party of hunters two days ago, roped a young grizzly bear. The party sighted the bear near the Yuba rivqr, and fired several shots without effect. Seeing that the quarry was about to escape, Bynom, an experienced cowboy, unfurled his lasso and chased the animal with . his trained range horse. Overtaking the bear after a mile chase through scrub brush, Bynum placed his line upon it and held it until his companions arrived. The griz< zly was then securely tied and brought to Downieville.
