BOY CAPTURES BIG EAGLE.
New York Youth Is Given Short Ride
Before Catching Escaped
Bird.

New York.-Wi1lie Moran, aged IL, OF
Pelham avenue and Boston road
Bronx, claims the proud distinction Of
catching an eagle
The lad performed the feat the othe,
morning near Ries' pond, in Bronx
park. The eagle was no baby one
either, measuring six feet across the
wings. William Snyder, park depart
ment foreman, saw Willie make the cap
ture.
The eagle was one Of the three large
ones which had contriyed to tear away
a portion of the wire netting of their
cage in the New York geological gar
dens in Bronx park and escape in the
night. Their absence was discovered
next morning. Since then employees OF
the geological gardens have been look
ing for them.
Willie Moran heard about the escape
and decided he would like a pet eagle.
He went skating on the pond, keeping
his eyes peeled for stray eagles. Be
hold. one appeared and settled at the
edge Of the pond. Willie ierked off his
skates, got club and approached it.
Foreman Snyder yelled to him to
keep away. but Willie went on. When
he reached the bird he jumped on its
back and grabbed its neck. 1t jumped
and beat its wings, giving Willie short
ride. But it was too much exhausted
apparently. By a long fight, to resist
greatly. Foreman Snyder ran UP and
tie eagle was restored to the ECO.

in vogue, the Elton blouse is not to van

lately shown, the Elton having short
rounded basques and a surplice front
The surplice is by no means confined to
waists, but will be seen on many spring

STRANGE CASE OF soMNAMBUL-
ISM IN ENGLAND.
SHOTS FAIL TO ROUSE HIM
Finally Awakened by Wounded Won
an and Realizes What Has Hap
pened ~ Illness Results in
Thrilling Experiences.

London.-One Of the most remarkable
cases OF somnambulism ever recorded
occurred the other morning at Stock.
Well when Mr. Francis Lake, an ex-se
cret service agent. rose from his bee
and shot his wife twice with revolver
without being conscious OF what he had
done.
There is no mystery whatever about
the circumstances. Mr.. Lake has for
I'VE months been living happily with his
wife and children, boy ten years old
and q baby only two months old-in
rooms on Kay road, not far from Brix-
on station. About five o'clock Mrs.
Lake was awakened by two LOUD reports,
and sat up in bed to find her husband
standing at the bedside with a revolver
aimed straight at her.
His eyes were closed, his teeth were
firmly clinched, and he seemed to be
dreaming that he was in some terribly
desperate situation Though two bull
lets had pierced the bedclothes and en-
tered Mrs. Lakes right leg, one going
through the thigh and the other lodg-
ing above the knee, Mrs. Lake was able
despite the great pain, to seize the re-
yolYer, throw it out Of the room into
the passage, and lock the door. Mr..
Lake was still asleep and Mrs. Lake
had to shake him for nearly five minutes
before he awoke.
As soon as Mr.. Lake realized what had
happened, he rushed out of the house
for policeman and doctor, and his
wife was conveyed to st. Thomas hos
pital in a cab.
During the morning the position of the
bullet which had lodged in the leg was
discovered by X-rays, and an operation
was successfully performed to remove
it.
The Brixton police made full inquiries
into the case, and they were thoroughly
convinced that Mr.. Lake had shot his
wife while asleep. and was quite uncon-
scious of what he was doing.
Mr. Lake, who is a tall, thin man, just
over 80 years old, and wears eyeglasses,

In front Of the pen Hoffman found his
boar, his bulldog and black bear in
conflict. The three were SO mixed uu
that Hoffman did not dare to shoot

But to return to our theme, sleeves.

This trimming may be either Of fine en-
broidery or of Valenciennes lace. EN-

at the shoulder various devices are tried:
some dressmakers run short tucks lust

Capt. Medlieott. who, seeing a hole in
the ground, made for it. It proved to be
an old nlealie pit of a disused kraal,
about eight feet in diameter. Down
went the captain, while the elephant
waited. Capt. MedIcott raised MS head
above the opening-to discover the eIe-
plant, with wicked eyes, still on the
watch. Then a long. sinuous trunk
made its way into the pit. The captain
began lodging the trunk.
Under it, past it, round the edge of the
pit, into the center, now crushed against
the wall and now missing the trunk by
a hairs breadth, Capt. Medlicott ran.
Suddenly the native tracler from asafe

and ran for shelp. Assistance was forth

the elephant was found to have made its
way into the bush. Mr.. Ballard was re-
leased from his uncomfortable position.
