WILKEsBARRE. Pa, Feb. ia tiger cat, be-
longing to Farmer Hazard OF Herrick. Susque-

barn a few days ago. carrying in her teeth a
piece OF meat for her young. A bald eaRle.
which had been lowering over the farm for a
week. suddenly descended upon her and
whirled her upward in u rapid vertical flight.
The path of ascent, to the eye Of a spectator
Watching the scene. was clearly. indicated by
loose feathers violently tossed from the point
OF combat, In n brief time the struggling pair
came to a standstill In the sky. The. englc's
wings had dropped now and then. and he had
once had his awful grip appeared to relax, At
length descent was begun, with a rapidity
which increased every moment and tho two
animals struck the ground at the point where
they had at first encountered each other. but
felt terra f1rma beneath her feet. shot away for
the barn. still carrying her bit Of meat.
Investigation proved that the cat had cut the
Eagles throat and so lacerated its breast that
its body was literally laid open, After the
death In midair. however. the cat had been
too clever 70 relax her hold and thus fall TO the
ground. but had let her enemy serve as u para
chute TO ease her descent.
The cat is none the worse for her aerial flight
and battle.
