GoBBLER FIGHTS EAGLE.
Big Turkey Holds His Own in Battle
With Hungry Bird.

Belvidere, Ill, Aug. 5.-A big turkey
gobbler owned by George Saams of
Fairfield held his own in a fight with
an eagle. The eagle swooped down
upon Saam's farm yard and attacked
the gobbler. 1t started to lift the
turkey and carry it off, but the COB
bier baked.
The great American bird was sur
prised 70 have the farm yard strutter
attack it, and was so taken up with
the fight that il did not see Saams,
rifle in hand, approach
When the farmer saw that his do
mestic fowl would get the worst of it
in the end he killed the eagle. From
tip to tip it measures eight feet.

PoRCUPINE RUNS RIOT.
Residents of Marlborough, Pa, Bear
Memories of Creature.

Philadelphia, Aug. 5.-A pugna-
ciouS porcupine, with ten inch bristles
protruding from every square inch
of its porcine hide, ran riot in Rox-
borough for three days, and at least
a score of men and boys and one dog
carry painful memories of the trou-
bleSome creature.
The porcupine was sent to Harris
H. Poatt of 6461 Ridge avenue as a
gift. Poatt decided to establish the
animals quarters in a packing box in
his yard. The following night the
bristling beast escaped. 1t first en-
countered a dog that was looking for
trouble. Bow-wow retreated as if he
had received a charge from a shot
gun.
Then some small boys tried to pick
up "porkie" with their hands, with
equally painful results. Policemen,
good Samaritans, tender hearted citi-
zens, and others have tried to APP
proach the porcupine and have suf-
fered the consequences The animal
still roams at large, however, and
there is talk in Roxborough of organ
izing a searching party to rid the
community of the beast.

Named for Radiun.

Not since the early SOS, when the word
electric" leaped into fame with the arc
light, the telephone and the trolley car,
has a newly discovered term been so
popular as radium and its derivatives AL

as there used to be electric soap, electric
polish, electric tooth powder, electric
cleaning material, and even electric silk.
The properties of the mysterious radium,
of course, no more enter into the articles
which bear that name, or names allied to
it, than soap or silk, polish or powder was

SO-CALlED BEEF TRUST.
Department of Commerce is Locking
Into That Natter

Washington. March 22.-The department
of commerce and labor. through the bu-
reau of corporations. Is making an in
vestigation in the operations of the So
called beef trust A part of the in
vestigation is being conducted III CON
nection with a resolution passed by the
house recently. Prior to the adoption OF
the resolution, the Department. had col
lected and tabulated certain Information
regarding the beef trust. The resolution
which was drafted by Representative
Martin. of South Dakota. requested the
department to ascertain. if possible, the
cause of the difference in price between
beef on the hoof and dressed beef. 1t
was pointed out that western stockmen
believed that they were being diserimi-
mated against by the trust, and that the
markets Of the country were being nanip-
ulated to their detriment. Neither Sec
rotary Cortelyou nor Commissioner Car
field, of the bureau of corporations. will
discuss the investigation in any way. 1t
is made perfectly clear however. that
this investigation will be made by the
officials of the department themselves
without assistance; that the department
will not stoop to detective work in the
conduct of the inquiry, and that the pro-
ceedings viii be void of any spect2 cular
features. There will be no public hear
ings. and publicity will be avoided 50
far as possible. The investigation is be
ing conducted by Commissioner Garfield
under the direction of Secretary Cor
telyou. Whether the results of the in
vestigation are to be made public at its
conclusion will depend entirely on Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
