r 
dish was a broil. Some used a long, slim 
oak or sycamore stick, others laid the juicy 
morsel directly on the coals, each one se¬ 
lected his favorite bit, and what a menu 
to choose from! Each had its own par-, 
ticular flavor; salted, eaten piping hot from 
the stick with a spoonful of salza or bit 
of green pepper and washed down with a 
swallow of claret or spring water. 
Sitting on the roots of the tree, as large 
as a man’s leg, some forming the seat, 
some the back, of as restful an arm chair 
as one could wish, one had the whole range 
of the Lincoln Park Hills, and looking 
through a gop in the arroyo, the cupola 
of the town courthouse, the misty outlines 
of the homes on the south, and through a 
gap the profile of the recumbent Indian 
or Washington, as the face seemed to re¬ 
semble, in the Los Felis Hills. To the 
north the beautiful sage-covered hills, 
fringed with the dark green live oaks and 
beyond in the distance the blue Sierra 
Madres; to the east the hills covered with 
oak surrounding the rodeo. 
Then the siesta; stretched under the 
closely woven boughs of the live oak, with 
the cool breeze playing around our heads, 
the music of the water as it fell among 
and ran over the boulders down the bank 
of the arrayo to a garden below, and the 
enjoyment of the dreamy cigarritos, until 
soft sleep fell among us. Those days, 
those times! They will never more return. 
By daylight we had loaded the bear on 
and added an extra new skin to the hide 
gondola, to better protect her from the 
rocks, and under the escort of eight men— 
five only being necessary—started on our 
journey down the sandy road of the Ar¬ 
royo Seco to the pueblo, the other three 
going on ahead to secure suitable corrals, 
etc. The bear procession met a train of 
several two-yoke oxen drawing carretas, 
which the bueys with a snort scattered all 
over the arroyo, not paying any attention 
to the “Ho! parate, Chanate! vete Barcino, 
carajo!” A burro train also scattered off 
with its pack-saddles, rushing through the 
willows; in fact, Mrs. Oso seemed to in¬ 
spire every animate thing with new life 
on sight, and no wonder, for she was about 
as ugly as a “kick on the shins,” with the 
question of whether it hurts or not added 
on to it. 
The crowd having all the seats and stand¬ 
ing room, Mrs. Oso and Mr. Toro were 
brought in and introduced to one another, 
by making fast a log chain twenty feet 
long to the bull’s foot, and the other end 
to Mrs. Oso’s neck, this to prevent a scat¬ 
tering in case they did not face the music. 
When all was ready, the vaqueros re¬ 
tired, letting both animals loose at the 
same time. For a moment they stood look¬ 
ing at each other. The bull concluded first 
that he had her sized up, lowered his head 
and charged her. The bear half rose on 
her hind legs and swatted him on the 
shoulder, taking about four pounds of 
beefsteak off, but the bull in the supple¬ 
mental rush knocked her over, and backed 
off, pawing the dirt as he went. The griz¬ 
zly got up, shook herself and rushed like 
lightning at the bull, grabbing him at the 
withers, but hardly had she taken hold 
when the bull, throwing up his head with 
enormous force, ended her hind-quarters 
up almost over her head, and as her body
