A Child Carried OF by an Eagle.

Birmingham, Ala, Dec. 23.-Near Sua-
merield, Ala, the 3-year-old child of
Henry Smith, an Industrious farmer, was
carried off about week ago by an eagle.
Yesterday the body was found on rock
cliff about three miles from the boys
home. Nearly all the flesh had been
eaten off, and practically nothing re-
manned but the skeleton.
Smith had two children, one boy of IA
years, and the other the dead child. One
day last week, when the parents were alb
sent from the house, the eldest boy took a
gun and went into the woods in search of
game. Returning in half an hour he saw an
eagle flying from the yard with the child
in its talons.
After several days search in the adj
jacent woods a party went TO the mount
aims about three miles distant. There,
on the top of rock cliff in the eagle 5
nest, the remains of the missing child
were found, surrounded by the bones of a
number of small animals, among which
was another small human skeleton. This
skeleton is believed to be that Of a child
of David Abercrombie, who disappeared
from home about year ago, and was at
that time believed to have been kidnapped
by band of gypsy fortune tellers who
were passing through the neighbOrhood.
This child was then years old.
Every man in that section has armed
himself with gun and is hunting for the
winged freebooter. Little children ara
not allowed TO go from home alone.

A PENSION AGENT ARRESTED.
He is Charged with Frauds Amount
ing to SI6O,0OO.


Buffalo, N. Y, Jan. GA. w. Moore,
the most extensive pension agent in
Western New York, with his son Allen,
and five clerks, were arrested this after
noon by United States officers on the
charge of defrauding the government and
eXtorting money from pensioners. The
whole amount involved is said to be $780,
600. The pension department has been
investigating his methods for three
months. The evidence is highly sensa-
tional.
Col. Moore did very large business as
a pension claims agent, and since 1889 has
secured over 5000 claims, of which, it is
said. 1900 at least are fraudulent. Ac-
cording TO Special Examiner Ayers, tn @
government estimates the amount he has
fraudulently obtained for pensioners at
about 81 ,000,0 600. Already the examiners
have found where $150,000 has been Sc
cured by fraud. 1t Is also said that others
are implicated. among them several we'll
known legal attorneys, ana that more
arrests will soon be made.
Louis f. Haupt, who was arrested with
Moore, succeeded to the latter's business
on Jan. /. He refused at first to say
what'hs relations with the claims agency
were, but later said that he had assumed
Moore's business. Nothing can be learned
further than what is stated in the COM
plants. Assistant Attorney Mackey adj
mits that the most important results OF
the investigation are being held back I'M
til the hearing. Moore was a pension
examiner before becoming a
claims agent in 1889, aud
consequently knows all the ms
and outs of the department. During the
commissionership Of Gen, Raum he was
charged with crookedness, but the cases
were, it is said, kept out of court by pow
erful influences. The present pension
authorities intend to prosecute him and
all associated with him in the alleged
frauds

Needa no Oompaas.
from the St. Louis Globe Democrat.

ANY experienced woodsman can tell
the points of the compass, no matter how
dark the day, from an inspection of the
tree trunks. In q forest the trees have
generally more or less moss growing on
the bark, and this moss is always found
on the north or shady side In addition
to this fact, the bark on the north side of
a tree trunk is always thicker. rougher
and darker than on the south. These
differences are caused by the greater
amount Of sunlight and heat on the south
side Of the trunk, and after having been
once pointed out are recognized even by
the tyro.
