After Being Released She Ran
Home and Got Her
Revolver.
RODE IN TO GIVE THE ALARM.
Robbers Secured a Small Sum, But
Mrs. Carpenter Marked Them
With Her Teeth.

PORTLAND, Or, Jan. 12.-The most
daring outrage in the way Of a hold-up
that has occurred in q long time was the
assault and robbery of Mrs. Louis G. Car
penter, who resides on East Stark street,
between East Thirty-second and East
Thirty-third streets, Friday evening about
o'clock.
The matter was suppressed till early
this morning by the detectives in the hope
of capturing the thugs.
Mrs. Carpenter, who is well known, left
her home and was walking westward along
the south side OF East Stark street and
when about opposite the Portland Hospi-
tai she noticed two men approaching.
AS it was still early in the evening, and
being courageous, she gave them no par
ticular attention. When the two reached
her, one slightly in front, the other in the
rear, they threw cloth over her mouth,
holding it firmly down so she could make
no cutlery OF any sort.
They then quickly carried her to the op-
posite side of the street, where it was dark.
Here they robbed her of her purse, con-
tanning s. or IS, and then allowed her
10 go.
The moment Mrs. Carpenter was re-
leased she ran home, got her pistol and
fired it in the air, expecting to attract
some one.
Failing in that she reloaded her revolver
and mounting a horse she rode over the
fields mile or two, hoping to get sight of
the thugs. In this she also failed.
When she reported the case at the West
Side police station Detectives Simmons
and Day were placed at her disposal a
long search was made, without any salts
factory results so far.
"If Ia had my pistol with me- said
Mrs. Carpenter" "Id shot both of those
fellows. But I severely bit the hand of
the one who gagged me, and his wounded
hand Will be a 'give-away.'
The detectives say that Mrs. Carpenter
displayed more nerve and genuine grit
than would one man in a hundred under
like circumstances.
There are so many thugs on the East
Side now, because Of the early reduction of
the police force here, that bloodhounds
viii be employed TO track them.

Game Fight for Life of a
Red Tailed Hawk.
Smaller Bird POunCed Upon
by Big American Eagle.
Fought Until II Gould Do SO No
Longer and Then Was Eaten Up.

NEW YORK, aug. 1s.-In the Central
Park avisry yesterday an American eagle
pounced upon beautiful red tailed hawk
and in the comb that followed killed
the bird and devoured 1t.
Unusual sounds in the cage attracted
the attention OF a park employee. The
big eagle was pursuing the hawk from
perch TO perch, and the chase evidently
had lasted for long time, for the hawk
was fatigued and sought the ground at
every opportunity.
The Egyptian vuture, the gray owl,
the bald eagle and two turkey buzzards
were hudd led together on the loftiet rung
OF the aviary. With dropping heads
they looked down upon the one-sided
fight. Fleet of foot, the hawk tossed up
the sand Of the cage as ii fled from the
protruding besk OF the eagle.
Once 1t was cornered against the rocks,
but a swift stroke OF bis aquiline beak
tore a bunch OF feathers.from tho eagles
throat, and then, with vigor OF despera-
tion, scared to the top perch. But the
eagle quickly followed, and for moment
a side side struggle took place. The
vulture footed with neck stretched, the
gray hawk screeched and the turkey
buzzard emitted cries of fear. The red
tailed hawk uttered a cry ot despair,
descended to the ground and stood there
gasping and expectant.
The great eagle saw his opportunity,
taking advantage OF it with deiberation.
Measuring the distance he pressed his
wings closely to bis body, opened his
beak to the fullest extent and then fell
like bag OF shot on the body of the
hawk. The eagle lost his grasp but re-
gained 1t when the stunned hawk turned
upon him with open claws.
II seized the hawk by the throat with
It's beaK and pressed one claw against its
throat. The sharp nose of the hawk
here did it good service. Stretching its
neck it fastened the points of its bill
into the leg Of the eagle and thus freed
the claw from it's throat.
With a simultaneous effort beth birds
sprang from the ground and amid the
cries OF other birds continued to strug-
gle. The eagle tore at the breast of the
hawk until the blood flowed in a steam.
The hawk fought until 1t fell lifeess on
the sand.
Then the scream Of the eagle rang
through the park and startled the ami
mails in adjacent cages. Immediately
after the hawk was eaten.
superintendent Smith of the menagerie
found the eagle picking the bones OF its
prey. The red tail alone remained.
