and Topped around. Mr.. Pearson went
after the bird. which was as big as a
turkey, and while handling it, the
hawk caught the ex-mayor's fingers be-
tween his beak and crunched them to
the bone. His hand is now seriously
swollen. but he doesn't expect blood
poisoning to set in. With the ex-may-

ed than another flew by, and Mr.. Pear
son, Notwithstanding his wounded
hand, again took aim and fetched the
second one down, having shot it
through the heart. Mr.. Pearson has
the two huge birds at his Allegheny
