ATTACKED BY A HERON.
hoy Tries to Capture the Bird and
Nearly Loses His Life,

hoy Tries to Capture the Bird and
Nearly Loses His Life.
1--WE hunted everything from gray
squirrels to Grizzlies" said Il veteran
Philadelphia sportsman to a writer in
the New York Times, land the nearest
I ever came to being seriously injured
by any sort Of game was one time
when wounded bird attacked and
tried to kill me.
II was boy then and went down to
a creek that flowed through my fathers
farm to watch for mink. 1t was early
in the evening and blue heron came
and sat within tempting gunshot.
knew it would spoil my chances at
mink to shoot the bird, and didn't in
tend to do it, but, kidlike, raised the
gun and took aim just to see how I
could kill it If would. lowered the
gun and then raised it again. Every
time raised 1t would touch the trig-
ger gently. After awhile l touched 1t
too hard, the gun went off and start
ed toward the heron, which was wound
ed.
II thought it would be n good scheme
to catch the bird and started to do SO
when its bill shot out like sledge
hammer and struck me between the
eyes. When came to my senses, it
was dark, and it was several minutes
longer before could remember where
I was or what had happened. A little
harder and the bird would have killed
me. shudder even yet when 1 think
what would have been the result If the
bill had struck one of my eyes,"
