Man and Eagle I'm Battle.

d. w. Bateman, n Great Falls, Mon
tana, merchant had a thrilling ex-
perience with a wounded eagle and
came within an ace Of losing his life
Armed with large bore shotgun, he
was hunting along an irrigation ditch
on his ranch near Bowdoin, prepared
for mallard ducks. Seeing an eagle
he fired at 1t and brought 1t down.
Not dreaming that the bird was not
dead, he stopped to pick it up. and
then the eagle began 10 fight. Before
Bateman could disengage himself the
eagle had nearly disembOweled him
with its claws, and had it not been for
the thick hunting clothes he wore,
his injuries would probably have been
mortal.
AS it is. he will have to remain a
week or ten days in n hospital. sSev-
eral stitches were required TO close
the wound in his abdomen.
Bateman managed II secure n grip
on the eagles neck and finally choked
IL to death. 1t measured nearly seven
feet from tip to tip.

bell that he was murdered by one Of
his fellOw-castaways and his body

Is revealed.
Strangely the story comes all the
way from Singapore and Is told there
/ In afIidavts sworn 10 by the surviv-
/ ors before "A notary public on April II

Darius Campbell was first mate
I aboard the bark Angola. which sailed
from Nova Scotia for Cayitc, depart
| ing from the latter port for Singapore
I'm October OF last year. Captain
Crocker, Nova Scotlan was master
Of the ship and besides Campbell the
bark carried a second mate and crew
Of sixteen men.
On October II the ship was struck
by typhoon and driven upon a reef,
where she pounded 10 pieces. The
reef was calculated 10 be situated
about GOO miles southwest Of Manila
and about $50 miles from the coast
Of China, ~.''..
All night long the doomed ship
pounded on the reef In the morning
attempts were made 10 leave the ship
in the two long boats, but these were
in turn battered to splintcrs against
the side Of the wreck and several
men were drowned At o'clock that
day the ship began to break up on the
port side. but she held together on the
starbOard side until the 2lst. when 1t
was decided 10 leave the ship on
rudely constructed raft fashioned
from n wrecked part Of the port bull
warks.
With Campbell on the raft were
Hjalman JOnassOn, Norwegian, and
MIGUEL MartlcOrenO, Neapolitan, the
only survivors. Relating the thrilling
experience of his and his shipmates'
experiences, Jonasson said:
"Ten days adrift, and one Of us, n
French sailor, became insane, and.
picking up an ax which we had used
to chop our raft free from the ship,
threatened to slay all hands. While
we were trying TO subdue the crazy
man he wrenched himself free and
cleft open the skull of the first mate,
Campbell.

scene The frenZled Frenchman

man.
The maniac rushed upon the sailor
and again raised the aX. Then the
second mate tripped the sailor, and
grabbing the aX dispatched the
Frenchman on the spot The next
day we showed the body of the first
mate overheard.
During that day two of the sailors
went crazy and jumped into the sea,
leaving Martlcoreno and myself alone
on the raft with the body of the
French sailor.
