FOUGHT WITH TWO EAGLES.
Actor O'Nein Rescued Young Boys
From "A Pair of Angry Birds.
From the Minneapolis Tribune.


From the Minneapolis Tribune
The actor, james O'Neiu has had A
thrilling adventure on Mount Haggin,
near Anaconda. Mont. With several
members of his company, Mr.. O'Neil was
taking an afternoon stroll in the course
of which they explored the hills south
of Anaconda. Then, as one hill leads 10
another, they finally attempted the as
cent of Mount Haggin, whose snow-cad
crest was above them. The beautiful
view of the valley, which was more en-
trancing the higher they climbed, lured
them on. The summit they sought to al
tain receded constantly, and they were
some distance from 1t on desolate land
ing, where they had paused to rest, when
faint cries reached their ears.
'HarkH exclaimed O'Neill.
What is it?" asked his comrades, as
they listened, and the cries sounded louder
again.
Some one is in distress over the point
yonder; we must lend assistance. Come
on, let us see."
Scarce waiting for reply the actor was
on the jump up rocky steep, over loose
Shale rocks that slipped beneath MS Ieel

tivity stood him in good stead, ana tho
others, following more cautiously, ne was
lost for few minutes to their view as
he sped along a narrow pathway But
they came in sight pust in time to see an
exciting contest-a pair of eagles engaged
in an attack upon two boys, with O'NeM
to the rescue. One of the lads was cling
ing to a scrubby oak, trying to protect ms
face in his arms from the bird flying ABOUT
his head and uttering shrill cries, Inc
other, his coat torn in shreds and MS Iacs
bleeding, had a tight grip on his hat IN
which were the crushed remains Oh TWO

beating him with her wings at every
