and brought forth an empty sack which had 
held grain for the animals. He told the driver 
to climb the tree and throw down the bear cubs. 
As they came down one after another, Gen. An¬ 
derson seized each cub and thrust it into the 
sack, which he tied up. Meantime the mother 
bear had made her appearance, and was advanc¬ 
ing threateningly with fierce growlings and gnash¬ 
ings of teeth. As she drew nearer she made a 
charge on Captain Anderson, who, picking up 
from the ground a small dead branch, rushed 
to meet her. The bear—her hair erect—snapped 
her teeth together and chattered in fury, as she 
came on, but long before the two came together, 
her heart failed her and she turned tail in hurried 
flight. She watched the wagon for some time, but 
did not again approach it. These cubs Gen. An¬ 
derson reared, and long had in a small enclosure 
near his quarters at what is now Ft. Yellowstone. 
One of the best articles ever written on the 
preservation of the Yellowstone Park is found 
in the volume “Hunting in Many Lands,” one of 
the earlier books of the Boone and Crockett 
Club. 
Gen. Anderson never married. Few men had 
so wide a circle of acquaintances as he; few men 
are so generally beloved by their associates. With 
the stature of a giant and the bearing of a soldier, 
he had the simplicity, the directness and the 
heart of a little child. His death leaves a 
vacancy that cannot be filled. 
THE HUNGARIAN PARTRIDGE IN 
CONNECTICUT. 
Meriden, Conn., Mar. 18, 1915. 
Editor Forest and Stream : 
It may be of interest to the sportsmen of other 
sections to know the result of the importation of 
the gray partridge of Europe into Connecticut. 
During the years 1909 and 1910 several thou¬ 
sands of these Hungarian partridges, as they are 
commonly called, were liberated by the Game 
Commission in various parts of the State. Many 
sportsmen looked upon the venture with dissatis¬ 
faction, because of the belief that the birds 
would not stand a severe winter, or ever become 
acclimatized; and for several years it did look 
doubtful. 
Now the Hungarian partridge is breeding well 
in this section of the State, the largest setting 
brought to my attention being of twenty-three 
eggs. This nest was singularly placed, being 
hidden in tall grass at the base of a telegraph 
pole within ten feet of the public highway. Of 
this setting, twenty-one eggs hatched, and a 
farmer living near by states that both old birds 
made a savage attack upon a dog that happened 
to come too close to the little travelers in the 
grass. 
When first released these partridge kept within 
brush-covered country, probably for' protection, 
but now they seem to prefer a life in the open 
meadows and cornfields, and differ little, if 
any, in general habits from the Bob White. 
When distributing grain, after a heavy snow 
storm in late February, 1914, I found one cover 
of eight and another of three birds assembled on 
wind-swept knolls from which the snow was be¬ 
ginning to vanish under the warm rays of the 
sun. This winter a local farmer reports a flock 
of seventeen coming up close to the farm house 
to secure food. As long as weed seed may be 
gathered from the ground, or the sumach and 
similar food supplies be not covered with ice 
and snow, the Hungarian partridge will not die 
of starvation, and it is proving a useful bird 
on the farm, both winter and summer. 
As a game bird, what more does the sports¬ 
man want ? In October, when the leaves are yet 
too thick for good ruffed grouse hunting, and 
the quail too small, it is a great satisfaction to 
have a try at the Hungarian partridge in the 
open meadows. The birds 'rise with a speed 
almost equaling that of the grouse, and spread 
out well; but they make a long flight and general¬ 
ly manage to alight together in patches of deep 
grass, clusters of alder or in a cornfield. After 
the hunt there is the satisfaction of good sized 
birds of delicious flavor, which is far preferable 
to larger game that requires an onion to control 
its strength.
