ton, while preying upon the carcase of
an OK. The eagle, being determined
not TO lose his breakfast, fought man
fully, aud a long and desperate strug-
gle ensued, in which Mr.. Conklin was
several times wounded by the talons Of
the bird. Fortunately for the "biped
without feathers" he had with him
strong pair of leather mitsens, one Of
which he succeeded in putting over the
head and the other over The foot Of the
bird, and thus made him prisoner. A
large fox trap weighing near 6 pounds,
was attached to one of his legs, which
apparently had been so for some time,
and probably was brought from some
distant part Of the country. This ca
gle, with his wings extended, measur.
ed eight feet and two inches. He is
now we learn, qlite decile, and re-
ceives his food from the hands OF its
captor.
