MOUNTAIN ENCOUNTER.
Eagle svOOped Down on a Spike Buck
and Had the Better OF 1t when
Hunters Interfered.

An eagle with an eight-foot spread
of wing tried in vain the other day to
carry of a spike buck in the Pine Hill
country. He swooped down upon the
buck, perched upon his back, tore at
him with beak and talons, and had
him nearly exhausted when the buck
ran under a low-hanging branch and
dislodged his tormentor. The eagle
was returning to the attack, and the
buck was making every possible effort
to kill it with his sharp-pointed hoofs,
when two hunters, Charles Lefevre and
Joe Cunning, began firing on the eagle.
They did not kill the bird, but after
they had torn a tuft from one Of it's
wings it few away. LefeYre thus tells
Of the fight:
eve had hunted ali morning with-
out any luck and were returning to
camp along the ridge, when we OBJ
served, circling high in the air above
the glades, what we thought was a
giant buzzard. We stopped and watched

"We were in the federal government
fire department then. It is not gem
orally known that the city govern
ment and the federal government each
maintained a fire department during
and after the civil war. But when
Grant became president, and Sherman
commander of tho army, there was a
great cry about retrenchment-and re-
form. AS a result of this clamoe
Gen. Sherman abolished the federal
governments fire department, and we
all returned to duty in the city FIRE
department. There has been no fed
eral fire department since that time.

ment that I am pensioned and on the

THIS BOY Was PLUCKY.
Caught a Mad Dog an Q Gunmy aae
apa Then Drowned Him 81
the River. {

at Chester, Pa, few days aBos b
mad dog was %terrorizing the neigh-
borhood. Men and boys watched the
brute's antics from a safe distance, but
a boy is years old, named Peter Brown,
took the occasion to stamp himself as
a hero by capturing the animal Sc a
bag. Here is what he modestly said Of
the feat a little while %afterward:
'You see, said he, "the dog was Q
coming down a splutterin' for an be
was worth, and I knowed something
would have to be done, I was stand
ing near a grocery store where they
was unloading some potatoes, and z
thought to myself here comes my OPP
p~ortunity. It's an old trick, but only
them what's used to it kin do il.
IT opened the bags mouth wide as I
could, just when the dog was comm
hardest. I expected every minute he'd
snatch me leg, but as luck would have
it he didn't. He made right for the bag,
and when he got part way in / showed
him further, and then gathered it in
at the end, and the dog was fast.
"Then the other fellers came and
wanted to help, but I held on to the
bag, and the grocery man let me take
it away. got some string and tied up
the end, and after I got some Irvine
I hauled the animal down to the river.
He was still a splutterin' and grOWlin'
fer all he was worth. Then I got a big
stone and tied IL to the bag and
throwed it over. Then the jig was up.

The American soldiers in the Phil-
lppines see some strange sights. Late
II a crowd Of them attended q church
service in their honor, and there was
much praying and singing, but the sol
aiers were chiefly interested in look
ing at the image Of q saint. Above the
image was the picture Of an eagle, and
cathe banner which streamed from the
eagles bill was the following legend:
sThe Old Reliable Condensed Milk. =
The saint had been decorated in honor
Of the visiting Americans, and the art
lst had copied the eagle and accom-.
panying inscription from a milk can

the birds actions. Each circle that it
made brought it closer to a patch Of
wild oats in the center of the glade.
with a sudden swoop and closed
wings the bird diYed into the deep
grass and the next instant the bird
and a spike buck were in conflict. We
crawled to within 200 yards Of the
spot and saw that the deer's assailant
was a large eagle. The deer plunged
down the hill, the eagle perehed upon
his shoulders and with beak and tall
ons tearing at his hide and flesh. Plung-
ing into a small oak bush the buck
scraped the bird from his back, but
anly for an instant. AS the deer
emerged from the tangle Of branches
the eagle swooped at him again. The
buck, that had now ceased its bleating,
reared up and with its razorlike fore
hoofs struck at the winged enemy
lowering close above.
"What the result Of the battle might
have been is hard to say. We could
stand the sight no longer and opened
a brisk fire with our rifles on the king
Of birds. One of the bullets plowed
away a hatful of feathers, and then the
eagle scared away. We left the buck
u~ndisturbed."
