FREEDOM RESTORED.
A Young California Farmers Kindness TO an
Eagle He Had Seen Before.
tFrom the W hittier.)


There was an interested crowd before a
large glass front Everybody that came
along stopped either TO make inquiries or
elbowed in toward the window to see
what the attraction was Inside was
magnificent white-headed eagle. There
WAS a chain from its right foot to a huge
piece of iron, some water in pan, an
untouched piece of fish, a few sotis. and
large card with the words For Sale.
The big birds wings dropped on either
side TO its feet. Its eyes were glazed and
m-lookng. 1t opened and shut them
now and then. but never once turned
them to the jostling noisy crowd that
stood just outside the glass. There We're
no marks of violence to he seen, but the
dun pathetic eyes. the dropping wings
the Soilcd white about the head and the
rutfied feathers over the bOGy showed
that the captive had been in chains much
longer than it had been in the window.
One OF the crowd in the street was
sturdy young farmer who had come into
town early hat morning. He had pushed
his way to the front and stood looking III
silence for Il long time at the great. help-
less bird. He was sure he had seen 1t be
fore" II had been captured. he learned
from what some Of the7crowd said, IN the
country from which he had come. That
settled it: it WAS the same bird.
He had seen it on tn" mountain where
he sometimes had hunted for stray
sheep lie knew the big pine in tn" TOP
Of which it had its nest. He had noted it

he worked in the valley ana had seen il
sit motionlesS for hours ON tn" top of
some tall, distant ranpikc. Now and then
he had had a suspicion that il had carried
off an occasional lamb, and had more
than once tried to shoot the bird, but had
never succeeded in getting near enough.

MURDERED BY BURGLARS.
Hotel Proprietor at Duryea Shot an
servant Bound and Gagged.


Scranton, Pa, Dec. 5.-Michael +.
Corcoran, proprietor of the Anthracite
hotel, at Duryea, was murdered in thd
most cold blCoded fashion by burglars
one OF his two servants was bounds
gagged and blindfoded, and the safs
in his Aedroom was blown open and
about $500 in money and other valu-
hbles stolen at an early hour in the
morning.
Four masked men entered the hotel
at 1:30 o'clock by a rear window. They
forced open the door of his bedroom.
where the safe was located, and shot
him dead before he could reach for his
revolver, which was lying on a bureau.
Mary Monaban, one of the servants.
was awakened by the noise and de-
scended the stairs. She was covered
with revolvers, and after being bound
and gagged was placed on the bed
alongside Corcoran's body. She says
one of the gang wanted to kill her also,
but was prevented by the leader of this
party.
The safe was loaded and fired willis
a coal train was passing. The robbers
quickly gathered their punder and left.
The Monahan girl wrisgled loose from
the clothes line which bound her and
summoned the occupants of adjoining
buildings. Soon after daylight over
dozen representatives of the Scranton,
Pittston and Wilkesbarre police depart-
ments were on the ground, and a vigor1
Gus hunt is being made for the gang.
