A Mans Fight With an Eagle.


TAYLoRsvILLE, Ind, Nov. pa
farmer named Frank Engelman, liv-
ing a few miles west of Nashville,
Ind. was attacked by a fierce, full
grown grey eagle Friday evening
while on his way to town. When
first noticed, the bird was at
a great height in midair. A
minute later it dropped down
upon Engelmann with a shrill
scream, striking him with terrific
force, burying its talons in his cloth
ing and flesh. Engelman was on
horseback and at great disadvantage.
Before he could dismount he was bad
ly clawed by the bird. The farmer
was without weapons and could only
defend himself with his hands.
The fight lasted fully an hour, the
eagle plunging at him from every
quarter. Twice did the man attempt
to run but each time the great bird
threw itself in his way and prevented
his retreat. At length he caught 1t
by it's talons and with hands and feet
succeeded in Staying it. The bird
measured feet and inches from tip
to tip.

Mother Versus Bartender.

FALKLAND, Ind, Nov. PA few
days ago Mr.. and Mrs. Gebhardt, Iiv-
ing several miles from this place, came
to town and found their son in a beast
ly state of intoxication. They at once
notified the saloon-keeper not to sell
him any more intoxicants. Friday
night they came in again and caught
their son drinking beer. Mrs. Geb-
hardt took the glass from him and
dashed the contents of it into the bar
tenders face, and while he was WHIP
ing his eyes, she broke the glass over
his head, inflicting quite deep cash
in his forehead. On hearing of the
circumstances, the citizens were so
incensed that it required a great
effort on the part of cooler-headed
people to prevent general up
rising, that would have demolished
saloons by force. A committee was
appointed to wait upon the saloon
keepers and request them at once to
retire from business and they were
given three days in which to answer.
At the end of that time they agreed
to stop the sale of intoGicants in Fair
land and close up business by Decem-
Der l. The citizens have raised a
fund and bound themselves to never
again allow a saloon to exist in town.
