Her father has picked out Senor Juarez as a suitor, but she is in love with Harry Cutler, a young American. A note sent by the American to Felicia falls into the hands of Juarez. Juarez waylays Cutler, assaulting him and leaving him for dead. The American, however, is found by friends and nursed back to health. Cutler plans to outwit Juarez by raising the Bear Flag, capturing Sonoma and proclaiming the California Republic. Felicia and Juarez's wedding day is set. As it approaches, Cutler writes Felicia to delay the wedding as long as possible. The wedding day arriving, the Americans make their raid, capture the town and instead of Juarez, Cutler marches to the altar with the beautiful Spanish Senorita, Felicia. The Bear Flag, adopted as the official ensign of California at the late session of the state legislature, was first raised by a band of thirteen American settlers in 1846 when they seized the Pueblo of Sonoma, then commanded by General M.G. Vallejo, and there proclaimed the California Republic. Written by
