California's Day of the Grizzly by William B. Secrest.

Oakland Daily Evening Tibune, January 3, 1915:

Lone Grizzly Seen in Butte Mountains After Twenty Years

For the first time in twenty years a great grizzly bear, silver tipped and weighing about 800 pounds, has been seen roaming over the mountain trails near here. He is believed to be one of the half dozen or more of his kind left in California, among natural haunts of his species ... Hunters from Camp Mayaro are keeping a sharp lookout for the grizzly's reappearance, as they believe that he will return to his old trail in the canyon in search of wild hogs, which are numerous in the timber along the river.
