EAGLE ATTACKS A LITTLE BABY
Brave Mother Beats Off Bird With
Broom In the Nick Of
Time.

CHAMBERLAIN, c. D., Oct. 29.-The
1S-montns- old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs S. G. Rhodes, who live on large
farm near here, was playing about in
the dooryard while the mother was at
tending to the household duties. Sud-
denly hearing the little one scream, the
mother ran to the door to find a large
bald eagle, with it's talons fixed in the
child's dress, endeavoring to lift it's
burden from the ground.
The child was heavy for it's age,
however, and the eagle could not much
more than lift it. Selling broom the
mother attacked the eagle fiercely,
causing it to drop it's prey.
The bird fought back with vigor, but
finally was beaten into submission and
took fight. The child was badly
scratched.

ARE INJURED IN A RUNAWAY
High Spirited Horse, Belonging to
Harry Poland, Becomes Fright
ened at Bicycle, Runs Away

Harry Poland and his wife were the
victims of a serious runaway accident
yesterday. AS they were driving down
Pleasant street in the evening their
horse became frightned at a bicycle
and tore around a corner spilling both
of the occupants of the buggy into
the street. 1t then tore loose from
the buggy and ran down the street.
Mr.. Poland was badly bruised above
the eyes and cut up considerably about
the face so that ne was unable to
come down town today, but received no
other injuries.
1t is feared that Mrs. Poland's in
iuries are more serious. She was un-
able to get up at all this morning. No
bones were broken, but internal injur-
les are feared.
The horse which ran away belonged
To Mr. Poland and has not been ex-
ercised much of late so is full of life.
The animal was run into by a wheel
man last summer and is suspicious OF
ANYTHING looking like bicycle. This
is thought to have been the cause of
his fright yesterday.
