HOW SHE KILLED AN EAGLE.
MRS. Ellis :of Kenogna Tells of a Fierce
Battle.

Mrs. Richard Ellis, who resides near
Kenosha, Wis, and who recently at
tackled and killed a huge eagle, says of
her fight with the bird.
~ was sitting in my kitchen when L
heard one of my hens cackl9. At once
| knew that a henhawk had bounced
upon it. You see John my husband,
had been telling me that the hawks
were killing our hens, and he had
brought in hen a day or two before
with the head off. I rushed out and
under that fence you see there [ saw a
black creature with wings spread out
and Tapping. / went to the barn and
got a pitchf0rk. Then / sneaked up
behind the bird and stuck the pichfOrk
into the ground, fastening its tail
between the prOngs. [ showed the fork
harder and harder, fastening its tail
tighter and tighter, All this time the
henhawk, sas I took the creature to be,
never took any notice of me, but went
on trying to kill the chicken. gave
the fork last shove and then began
to look around for a stone or some
thing to kill the bird, but | could not
find a thing.
Then l went to the house and got
an old rolling pin. With this l again
approached the bird and struck it on
the head, it dropped the hen and be-
gan to claw and peck at me. Then
began the fight. kept striking and
it beat me with it's wings and tore my
clothes with It's talOns. Somehow it
must have got tail unfastened and
when though l was going to lose it, [
struck it a powerful blow on it's head,
this stunned it and than | pulled the
pitchtork from the ground and stuck it
into it's body several times until | had
killed it. [ was so wrought up that |
continued sticking the body even after
the bird was dead"

Mrs. W. G.. Spence died Sunday,
Nov. 6, at her home in Spring Valley,
Wis.
Ellen M. Strong was born in SOmers,
Wis, Oct. %, 1848. When she was II
years of age her father died and six

she showed the same unselfish nature
which was so characteristic of her.
April 6, 1875, she married W. g..
Spence and they have since made their
home at La Crosse, Mansion, Chippewa
Falls and Spring Valley.
Early in life she gave her heart to
the Saviour and she was ever ready to
do what she could for her master. IN
til prevented by illness she was a
teacher ir the Sunday school ahd an
earnest worker in building up the
church in the new town where shG
lived.
She was i'll for three years, the last
being one of intense suffering, which
she pore with great paClence out look
ed for the release with longing and a
perfect trust in her Saviour. She was
laid to rest in lakewood cemetery,
Somers, Nov. 7, where a short service
was conducted by Rev. Fl. L. Browne.
According to her wish " Nearer My
God to Thee" was beautifully rendered
by Me8srs. Toase, Lewis, Shepard and
Mitchell. She was borne to her last
resting place by four of her former
schooImates, Messr8...W. J. Rhodes, j..
Fl. Fink, j. w. Fink and E. g. Ozanne.
Thus has passed away one who en-
deared herself to all who knew her by
her kind and sym athetic nature and
she will be greatly missed by large
circle of friends. Her husband, broth
ers and sisters have the sympathy Of
all.

He Explains in Regard to the Case of
A. j. Br1nsley.
The following letter was handed to
us for publication this morning:
EDITOR EVENING News.
In your issue of last evening your
reporter labors to lead people astray,
thus eptailing extra cost and hardships
on them. This refers to the mention
of " spite" contained in the article.
The camp of Modern Woodmen in
this city is composed of nearly all sue
cessful business men, professional men
and honest laboring men, and allow me
to say that there is no body of men in
any organization in this city so ready
to extend sympathy and financial aid
to it's fellow members, notwithstanding.
In this case forbearanCe had ceased to
be virtue, but to prove our sincerity
and test the friendship of the large
number of Mr.. Brinsley's friends, L will
personally subscribe So and guarantee
a subscription of in all $50 from the
members of the EModern Woodmen in
this city, providing Mr. Brinsley's
numerous friends will make up the
balance of his entire amount of short
age ans owing 10 the Camp. Now let
your reporter start.out with his list.
Furthermore, we wish to emphatic
ally state that ourE position in this
matter is unalterable. Knowing that
we are pursuing a course at once fair
to Brinsley andj~just to2.the Camp OF
| Modern WoOdmen.
Yours very truly
II. G.. SCHULZ.
In reply the reporter of Sthe NEWS
has this to say, that he hasj other and
more important 9wOrk ito do than tC
circulate subscription papers.
We have not sought to uphold Mr.
Brlnsley or to say he is not guilty, MOI
do we intend to say he is guilty3of the
charge made against him by Messrs
Schulz and NewhOuse, until he has
been proven guilty in the courts.
Mr.. Brinsley has many friends among
the Woodmen who say he is all right
and all this trouble is without any
foundation.
