PET EAGLES.
How They Are Used by an Indian Boy to
Bring Down the Prey.

HOW They Are Used by an Indian Boy to
Bring Down the Prey.
An Indian boy belonging to the Sioux
tribe at the Pine Ridge Agency has pair
of pets which are not only strange and in
teresting. but are useful as well. These
are two large bald eagles. The young In
dams are fond of hunting. bat are not al
lowed to own or carry guns, and the result
is that they are compelled to use the bow
and arrow, which they use with great ex-
pertness. The boy shot an old eagle and
wounded it.
1t flsw to its nest, and he followed until
he saw where the home of the bird was He
then killed the wounded bird and waited
until its mate appeared and also killed it.
Climbing to the nest he found two young
ones, which he took home with him and be-
gan course OF training, which has resulted
in his having the birds so fully under cou-
troll that they come and go at his command.
He takes them out and when lie sights any
quarry he turns his eagles loose, after
fastening their beaks so that they cannot
eat the animal, and the birds Immediately
give chase and bring down the prey
The eagles are now about a year and a
half Old. and are large and strong enough
to bring down fawn. The boy is the most
successful hunt of the tribe, and never
goes out without bringing home some game,
from rabbit 10 deer. The officers at the
agency want the eagles, and have offered
ths boy what probably appeared to him to
be fabulous sums for them, but lie steadily
refuses all offers. The boys father was
killed during the last Indian troubles, and
since then lie has been the support Of his
mother and three brothers and sisters. He
is so successful in his hunting that he sells
great deal. and if he continues he will be-
come one of the Wealthest Indians of the
tribe through his trained eagles.-Fort

The mysterious case of Victor Peters of

physicians than ever before. He is ayoung
man of considerable wealth and prominence,
and, 1t will be remembered, was
seized recently by hiccoughs, which
nothing freed. and everything known
10 science and practice was used.
Opiates even had no effect, and hiecoughs
occurred at intervals OF about ten seconds.
From Saturday night on there was no cessa-
ton of hiccoughs and he was momentarily
expected to die. His sickness now. turns
out to be a stubborn case OF typhoid fever.
Nothing could be done for the hiccoughs,
which continued up to Sunday evening,
when there was slight let up. They
diminished gradually. yet they trouble the
patient more or less occasionally now.
Over 400 letters and kilograms were re-
ceved by the family from all over the
United States, advising what to do to stop
the hiccoughs. All were promptly answered.
and will be preserved for future use and
reference. The doctors in attendance say
there is some hope Of Mr.. Pelers' pulling
through, yet, if he lives after hard

broken down and Frustrated condition. it
will he nothing short of miracle. Boston

The strangest Coincidence on r.cord


According to little work on condolences
which has just been issued the following is
quite the most extraordinary coincidence
recorded:
More than 200 years ago, on December 5.
1864, boat crossing Menai Strait with
eighty-0ne passengers sank.
The only man who escaped death was n
MIR. Hugh Williams.
More than hundred years later. on De-.
cembeT g. 1880, another vessel with a large
number of passengers sank under the same
circumstances and in the same place. All
the passengers were drowned except one
land the facts are proved to the hilt), a GER
tain Hugh Williams.
Again, on December s. 1920, boat laden
with nearly thirty souls also sank In the
same spot. The only escaping passenger
was Hugh Williams.
These condolences are well known TO
Welsh antlquarians, and are all recorded by
good tEorities.-Phila. Record.
