Battle WITH A BIRD.

Wounded Loon II iiicd an Indian with
His Powerful Bcak.
The loon. or great northern diver. Is
a powerful bird The following in.
stance OF one Of them conquering a man
happened few years ago.
"A young Micmac Indian, living at
Grand Lake, Nova Scotia, wanted to
get the skin of one of these beautiful
birds to present to his mistress on her
birthday. One day the youth, who was
an adept at initiating the peculiar sob
bing cry Of the loon. succeeded in call.
ing a bird within shooting distance.
His shot. however failed to kill out
right, and the bird, although so severe.
~ wounded that 1t could neither swim
nor dive, yet retained sufficient life and
strength to remain upright in the wa
ter. The boy. thinking that his game
did not need another shot, swan out to
retrieve 1t; but when he approached
near enough to seize the bird 1t sud
denly made dash ut him. sending its
head and neck out with q spring like
IN arrow from bow. 1t was only by
q quick duck of his head that the In
dian succeeded in evading the blow.
He swan about the loon several times,
attempting to dash In and seize him by
the neck. but the wary bird succeeded
In fOiling each effort by continually fac.
ing him. and lunging out with his pow.
erful neck.
The Indian then swan up to withia
a few feet of the bird. and diving I'm.
der him with considerable skill caught
him by the legs. lie carried him under,
and although the bird struggled fierce.
~ managed to retain his hold. But
when they both rose to the surface
again u battle royal began, the Indian
seeking to carry his prize ashore. and
the bird attempting to regain his free
dom. The bird, however, was too
much for his foe and before the Indian
had covered yard on his shore.bound
course disabled him with n Vicious
blow from his beak full on the naked
chest. The effect of the blow was al
most simultaneously fatal, for the

Bad as were these bills. the means
employed to promote them were fur
worse. Devious methods guided them
along their crooked course through the
Legislature. The most adrOit, power

MRS. CODY TESTIFIES.
Mrs. Angel Told Her of the Gould
Marriage.

Albany, N Y, March AT the op-
ening of the court today in the trial of
Mrs. Margaret F. Cody, charged with
attempting to- blackmail the heirs of
Jay Gould, the defendant was called
to the stand. She was asked to identify
a number of letters written to her from
Rock Springs, Wyo., by Mrs. j. F.
Pierce, the alleged daughter of Jay
Gould, and Mrs. Angel and from Mrs.
Pierces husband. The letters asserted
positively that Jay Gould was Mrs.
Pierces father and announced the in
tention of the writer to press the suit
to secure share in the Gould estate.
Mrs. Cody was offered a large sum, not
stated, to take up and conduct the suit.
Mrs. Cody relates the circumstances
connected with her search for the moth
er of Mrs. Pierce.
Having found Mrs. Angel in April,
1895, the latter told her that Mrs. Pierce
was her daughter by an early marriage
with Jason Gould, the date of which
she thought was April 2, 1858.
''The issue of this marriage" contin-
ued Mrs Cody, Mrs. Angel told me,
was a daughter who was bound out to
a Canadian weaver when years old.
Gould deserted his wife after a short
time l. asked her if she had the mar

ed that after Gould had left her and she
had gone to live with her parents. her
father had taken the certificate from
