A HEN KILLS A HAWK.
Fierce Fight Between the Big Bird of
Prey and a Game Chicken.
Philadelphia Telegraph


There was a fatal combat this morning
between large chicken hawk and a game
hen, which ended with the defeat of the
hawk. The fight occurred on the farm Of
Dennis Murphy, on old Coopertown road,
about two miles from Ardmore, and lasted
fully ten minutes. 1t was a sad and, as the
result proved, a fatal mistake on the part
of the hawk that he selected a. member of
the game farm for his intended prey. There
were other hens without spurs at all the
other farm yards, but those on the Murphy
property are well prepared TO meet their
enemies.
At the time Of the fight there We're two
mechanics at work In the barn. One OF
them pointed to a large hawk which seemed
to be preparing to dart upon the prey which
1t had selected and both men stopped work
TO watch developments. Slowly the big bird
swung round and around in circle each
time coming closer TO a game hen, which,
with its brood of small chicks, was scratch
ing industriously for food near the barn.
When the hawk was within twenty or
thirty feet OF the ground the hen became
alarmed, and after chasing her offspring
into the barn returned to the yard. Her
actions were almost human, and she was
apparently yearning for trouble. In just
about two seconds and q half she had her
hands. or rather her claws. full of 1t. The
hawk. which by this time was within ten

feet of the hen. made a sudden fierce dart
and tried to fasten its talons in the feathers
of its intended victim
Then the fun began. The chicken jumped
from the ground and with its long spurs
landed on the hawks neck at the same
time giving her assailant severe dig with
her beak Then the hawk sailed in and
plucked a few feathers off the breast of
the chicken. Feathers were flying in all
directions, and within half minute the
spurs of the hen brought first blood. Still
the fight continued. 1t was spur and bealr
all the way through, and at first the ad-
vantage seemed to be with the hawk.
Finally, however, the work of the spurs
began to tell. BY what the bruisers of the
prize ring would term "a chance blow the
battle ended. The chicken managed to
strike the hawks right wing up near the
Joint with it's spur, and the large bird was
rendered defenseless. Then the chicken APP
parently lost it's head and landed into her
disabled antagonist with both spurs and
beak. She literally tore open the throat or
the hawk with her spurs and tore both
eyes out with her beak, That ended the
fight, and. covered, with blood, the chicken
gave a triumphant "cluck-cluck, called
the little chicks together and walked proud
ly from the scene of the tragedy, leavinH

That Duryea Challenge.

The offering of a 5000 reward for
the apprehension of the Corcoran mur-
derers was doubtless wise step in its
place, although it has called TO the
front a number of amateur detectives
who are making a deal of trouble and
perpetrating a lot of outrages in the
abused name of Justice.
But something more than the dispos-
ition to be liberal in rewards is needed
to get to the heart of this big problem
of lawlessness in the anthracite re-
gion. 1T is proper and necessary and
commendable to follow up with deter
minaton the perpetrators of SO cold
blooded a crime as that last reported
at Duryea. We view admiringly the
spirit shown by the authorities of Luz
ernc county and do not doubt that they
will result in the speedy apprehension
of the criminals and in their capital
punishment
Yet the complete success of the hopes
and plans of the authorities i'm this one
case would not materially affect the
widespread prevalence and audacity of
the criminal spirit in the coal fields,
nor reduce perceptiblyif at all the ex-
traordinary strain which this is plac-
ing upon all the activities of govern
ment in this section, upon industry and
thrift. and upon the community's fame
throughout the country.
We do nat want to borrow the trap
pings of an alarmist nor fall to the
tactics of yellow journalism, yet we
would impress upon every thinking read
er before whom these words may come
| the thought that the spirit which can
! lead four masked men to invade a
prominent home at midnight and with
deliberation assassinate its owner, af-
| terward coolly pausing for fitting
| time for the wrecking of safe by dy-
Mantle, calls for more than the ordin-
| airy work of detection, arrest and pun
ishment 1t is a challenge to the whole
| strength of civilization as eXemplified
in our churches, schools and law-re'
specting homes; a deliberate Haunting
of the signal to combat, which must be
replied to with unmistakable effective
ness all along the line.
We have no hobbies TO ride. We are
open to suggestions as to what is wis
est to be done. But is it not clear that
the fight against crime in these parts
requires reinforcements?
