IT WAS SINGULAR
Story Of q Man, a Goose, q Hawk
and q Blacksnelke.
A Lively Struggle in . Deserted LouisiaRa
Weu-Singular Trio Brought to
Earth by Mr. Matthews
Able Shot

Some two or three hundred yards
back Of the little Baptist church at
Mount Lebanon, La, in the midst OF 4
pine thicket of perhaps twenty-five
years standing, there is deep well
about ten feet in diameter, which has
been yawning death-trap, swallow
ing up many poor, unsuSpecting dumb
creature in that vicinity. This old
shaft IS all that now remains of the
Louisiana state laboratory, established
during the war for the preparation of
medicines to be used in the confederate
service All trace ST the buildings has
long since disappeared, the institution
having been destroyed by fire soon after
the war, but for some reason or other
the old well was never filed in. No
one seemed to consider it his business,
as is usually the case with a little
nuisance in small place, so when a
cow or hog or any stray animal about
the village disappeared, it was tacitly
understood TO be like truth. lat the
bottom Of the WELL" and that was the
end of it.
The other day Mr.. Matthews. living
just opposite the church, lost very
fine goose. She wandered of IL the
morning with her brood, and at night
the goslings returned cheeping and
motherless. Two days later, when Mr..
Matthews was on his way to meet a
hunting party back of the Sulphur
Spring, he was attracted by the pecul-
lar actions of tremendous hawk, that
seemed much interested in something
that was going on in the old well. Mr..
Matthews waited some distance off that
he might watch the antics of the big
hawk, and perhaps get a shot at him.
The bird was evidently intent upon
the performance within the well, and
didnot observe Mr.. Matthews approach.
First the hawk would dip down into the
shaft for the distance of a few feet,
only to fly out again, screaming and
beating his wings. He would hover
over the wells mouth for moment or
two, circling around and around, then
rest for little while in big hickory
tree which overhung the shaft, prepar-
ing for another dive below. After sue
eessioIf of these queer performances he
at last few down into the well where a
pretty lively struggle of some kind
must have taken place from the noises
Mr.. Matthews heard, and finally reap
peared with a heavy load in his great
talons.

and Mr.. Matthews began TO unravel the
mystery. After her fall down the well
the goose must have found foothold
