~ which the eagles are c0nuneu luNeuttat
FAX, the other day watching few dar.
ing English sparrows that were picking
up the leavings Of the eagles dinner.
The eagles sat majestic and silent upon
the make-b believe trees, as though lost in
deep reveries. Suddenly vulture dart
ed like flash Of lightning from one Of
the upper perches and swooped down
upon one of our own bald-heads with
fiendish screams. The bald head answer
cd with screams Of terror and hastily
retreated into dark corner Of the cage.
The women and children drew back from
the cage in fear, and even the men ex-
hibited desire to be beyond the reach
Of Sir Vulture's sharp talons.
The yulture stood silent on the bottom
Of the cage for d moment, while the
other eagles moved uneasily on their
perches. Then the condor, who had
been sitting on tho highest branch Of all,
gave vent to a shrek almost as deafen-
ing as the whistle Of locomotive, and
dropped down upon the vulture. In q,
moment feathers flew in every direction.
All the eagles screamed in unison, and
the little birds in the other cages crouch
ed mute and trembling in the corners
The gray-coated park policeman who
came rushing to the cage shouted to the
keeper, and in moment the man who had
charge Of the eagles came running up.
He seized 4 pail Of water from behind
the cage, and, getting as close as posi-
bic to the fighting birds, he doused
them with it. The effect was instant
aneous. The fight was all gone out Of
them, and they crawled away to differ
ent corners dripping and detected. The
condor had had much the best Of the
fight. He was bleeding ia only few
places, while his opponent was covered
with the sanguinary fluid.
THE eagles fight very hard some
times, said tho keeper to the reporter.
Water is the only thing that will stop
them, and even that doesn'talways work.
If they are very hot we separate them
with poles, and then yank them into a
tank Of water, where we duck them I'M
til all the fight is gone ont Of them.
The condor IS boss of the roost, and
none of tie others care to dispute his

fighters, and the bald head s at the. tail
Of the list. The vultures can't stand
cold water, though In winter we have
to take them inside, while the other ca
giles rather enjoy the cold.
When we want to have some fun
with the eagles we throw live rats at
them Ordinarily they are fed with raw
meat, but live rats are delicacy to them.
You never know how terrible their talons
are until you see them tear rat to
pieces. They pounce upon rats like cats
and in jiffy they have been torn into
shreds. The rats go into the other bird

that Gen. and Mrs. Logan were guests of
Gov. Alger, and occupants of the two ele
giant special cars used by the governor and
party that were attached to the Atlantic
express on the Northern Pacific, appeared
to be generally known all along the route.
and at every station crowds were gathered
to welcome Gen. Logan with true Dakota
warmth. EX-Gov. Ordway boarded the
train at Mandan and accompanied the party
across the river to Bismarck. Here royal
welcome awaited them. Gov. Pierce,
Auditor Caldwell and many distinguished
citizens of the territory, members of the
G. A. r., and detachment of the terri
torial militia under command of Capt. j. +.

Gen. Logan and Gov. Alger were invited to
occupy an improviSed platform, and were
introduced by Gov. Pierce with brief but
HAPPY REMARKS.
Gen. Logan spoke for about five minutes,
expressing his appreciation of his reception.
This is not his first visit to Dakota. He said
he had always been much interested in it
and the loyal men and women who make
up the majority OF its population have laid
in Dakota the foundation for mighty
state. 1t is only question of time when
the state of Dakota will be reality. Gov.
Alger made very pleasant response to his
invitation. He cCmplimented the people
of Dakota for their energy and daring,
transferring what were once considered the
desert lands into great wheat fields, to
which the whole world paid tribute. He
complimented the members of the territorial
militia upon their fine appearance. Gen.
Logan shook hands with the crowd that
pressed around Elm. AS the train moved
off the people of Bismarck gave three
cheers and tiger for Gen. Logan and Gov.
Alger. At Steele the local band and

distinguished travellers. A big reception
awaited the party at jamestown. The party
