In 1878, while gentleman who lives
within eight miles of Healdsburg, Gala,
was preambulating over the hills looking
after his stock, he came across an eagle
entangled in the branches of fallen tree.
His first impulse was to put an end to
the existence of the rapac!ous bird, but
after moments thought he concluded to
tie his address on its neck and send it on
its devouring mission. The gentleman
has received letter from Mr.. John Wise
of Umatilla county, Oregon, in which he
states that he caught the eagle in a steel
trap in 1880. He sent the voracious bird
with his address on its journey. and when
the game bird stopped to replenish the
cavern of nature by feasting upon pig
it met with an untimely death at the
hands of William Rose of Pocahontas
county, Iowa, on the 9th of April, 1885.
