A fight between two girls and

a fight between two girls and
a bald eagle occurred last week
in Columbia county. Pennsyl-
vania. Nettie Hinkle, aged 10
years, was returning from a
neighbours home, and, while
walking slowly along the road,
she met Miss Jennie Mcdowell.
After a brief conversation they
separated. Miss Mcdowell had
notgone far when she heard Miss
Hinkle scream, and ON rushing
back found an immenee Ameri.
can bald eagle with its talons
sunken into Nettle Hinkle's body.
and endeavoring to carry her
away. A fight then ensued be-
tween the three. but Nettie
Hinkle soon dropped out from
exhaustion. Miss Mcdowell,
who was badly torn by the eagle,
took her hat pin, and by lucky
move thrust it through the
eagles head. which ended the
fight. The eagle is a fine speci.
men, and is now in possession Of
the Mcdowell family.
