Hungry Eagle.

Nashwauk.-A hungry young eagle
frantically attacking COW, two chill
dren and dog, and only defeated af-
ter a desperate battle with the mother
Of the children, is the gist of a story
which reaches here from Turtle Lake
postoffice, the terminus of the Min
nesota & Rainy River railway in Itas-
ca county.
Mrs. Thomas Goodhue and her two
small children went out into sort of
cut-over meadow to look for the cows.
AS they approached the woman dfscov-
cred that one of the cows was engaged
in battle with an eagle. The bird
would alight on the animals back and,
inserting it's talons, would claw the
poor creature numerically, tearing bits
of hide and flesh from it's back. The
cow was driven almost frantic, but all
1t could do was to toss it's head around
and temporarily drive the bird away,
Mrs. Goodhue, timid at first, but Civ
en- courage by the pitiful bellowings Of
the suffering animal, attacked the bird,
which then left the cow and attempted
to seize one of the small children.
With club Mrs. Goodhue again drove
the enraged bird away. Then it es-
pied the family dog and, leaving the
children, bounced upon it. Mrs. Good
hue again brought her club into re-
QUESTION and, after desperate strug-
gle in which she was severely clawed
by the eagle, succeeded in knocking it
senseless. Then with her club she beat
its life out. The bird was a young
eagle, but of great size, it's wings
spreading nearly six feet from tip to
tin.

around pa, and chant something that
would sound terrible to the Indians.
The only thing in the way of chant

A Close Call.

Grand Rapids.-With his foot firmly
caught in frog, in the Swan river
yards, Joseph Devine brakeman, saw
an engine bearing down upon him, yes
terday.
I'm a goner, boys" he shouted to
his companions, as he made last des-
perate effort to wrench his foot loose.
The engine was shunting a string Of
cars backward and the engineer did
not see the man on the track. His last
violent struggle, however, tore the laces
from his shoe and he was enabled to
slip his foot out just as the first of the
cars struck the place where he had
been held as in wise. Beyond a
sprained ankle he suffered no injury.
Railroad men say it was one of the
narrowest escapes ever seen here.

Boy Tries to Wreck Flyer.

Cincinnati.-Samuel Sweeney, II
years old, who lives near Junction
City, KY, is under arrest on the
charge of attempting to wreck the
Queen & Crescent's Florida special
which passes his home daily. A
knuckle from a patent freight car had
been saddled across the track by the
youngster and the heavy train was
saved by a track walker, who discov-
cred it just in time. Detectives lay in
wait at the spot, supposing that the
perpetrator would return, as he had
not been apprehended. The boy made
his appearance next day with another
of the knuckles and was arrested. He
was taken to Stanford, where his trial
was held recently. At the place where
the wreck was attempted is one of the
steepest entertainments along the road.

Soft mulls rather than stifiy starched
lawns are the order of the day; these
are a blessing to the laundress as they
do up" more easily and keep clean
longer. The lingerie this season is
even more fragile in appearance than
usual, now one affects the finest OF
materials and less elaboration of lace
insets: this, too, is blessing to the
home dressmaker, who can keep In
style without wearing herself all out
in the attempt.
Long coats are few and far between,
and the variety of short ones is mar
velous-one would have thought all the
ideas exhausted long ago. They are
so much cooler for summer wear, and
they allow of display OF the exquisite
blouse. The present fashions make
the streets very festive, so much white
finery seen. Already numbers of white
frocks have appeared, and though we
may not have the white season of last
summer repeated, there certainly Is to
be a great deal of white worn. White
plumes are seen, almost always fall
ing over the hair at the back, a novel
and picturesque disposal. Last even
ing we noticed an attractive hat, one
of the longish turbans with the only
trimming a wreath of small flowers,
the wreath elongated at the back and
quite separated from the hat, lying on
the girls soft tresses like garland.
The arrangement OF artificial flowers

and effective than usual, and the flow
ers so pretty.
