A BIG SHARK AIDS IN THE
CAPTURE OF AN EAGLE

A naughty American eagle of
the species known as bald is
the latest acquisition of the park
board of Baltimore.
This magnificent bird, measur-
Ing more than six feet from wing
to wing tip, looks as If he might
have stepped out of our national
boat of arms. But in fact he was
pulled out of the water--a drip
ping, bedraggled. humbled mon
arch of the air. He has been put
on exhibition In the Geological
Garden In Druid Hill park, the
largest park In the Monumental
City.
The eagles capture was unique,
perhaps, in the history of eagle
hunting, for he was taken while
in fierce wing to fin combat with
q large shark in Accohannock
creek, which divides Accomac and
Northampton counties. Virginia.
While Captain Charles j. Hen
derson of the Tangier was direct
ing her course up Accohannock
creek, he suddenly saw an eagle
swooping through the air half a
mile in front of the vessel
The eagle lowered over the
water for moment and then
plunged down into the waves like
a tern. Almost at once the shiny
fms of big fish appeared above
the surface. The eagles claws

was furious struggle. Beating
his wings, the bird tried to rise In
the air with his prey. but his eff
forts were futile. Instead of an
ordinary river fish, the eagle had
sunk its talons into a shark.
Back under the surface went
fish and bird. But in a moment
they reappeared. the battle churn-

and over they plunged and rolled,
one moment on the surface and
again out of sight.
The crew of the steamboat
crowded to the forward deck, alb
sorbed In the fierce battle between
the lord of the air and the terror
OF the sea Not second did the
struggle slacken. Meanwhile an
other eagle circled overhead
watching the conflict, Both fight.

FIND A SKELETON OF A
WOMAN

EVERETT, Dec. 3.-The skele-
ton of a woman, apparently buried
many decades ago, was uncovered
by workmen engaged in excavat-
ing for the subways at the Great
Northern's new depot. Those who
made the gruesome discovery be-
lieved they had evidence of a
tragedy, but the deputy coroner
concluded otherwise after making
an investigation.
The remains were inclosed In a
rough cedar box, that had been
placed in a shallow grave at the
foot of large cedar tree.
The fact that the hair. which
still chung to the skull. was red
and much finer than that of an
Indian, led to the coroner's con-
cl9sion that the skeleton was that
of white woman.

his legal career he was an assist

He next attained some note, but

more than 20 per cent. of wheat is
still in farmers hands In North
and South Dakota and Minnesota.
Eleven per cent of this is required
for seeding purposes, leaving only
nine per cent of total crop still to
be marketed. In his opinion coun-
try mills will have to come to mill

of the crop year. He says IS per

the following red hot statement:

black and white that if Elwood Cox

Judge Justice Defends Shade Trees.
Statesyille Landmark.

Statesville Landmark.
The laying of cement idewalks in
New Berne, Lenoir and CTher towns
has given rise to complaints on the
part of citizens because of the destruc-
ton of shade trees and more than
one case appeal has been made to
the courts. In two instances, il our
memory serves us, the shade trees
won in the courts. \ few days ago
Mr.. &. f. Harper, OF Lenoir, appealed
to the courts to restrain the munich
pality of LenOir from cutting down
certain streets adjacent to his home
in such IL way as to damage his prop
erty. The case was heard by Judge
Justice in chambers at Charlotte.
His honor held that the town
could 90 ahead us to certain extern
sions of streets, but the restraining
order should be in force SO far as
necessary to insure that the work is
done in IL manner which will not in
terfere with the shade trees on either
side of the street. Glory to Judge
Justice and glory to the shade trees
There is some ground to hope that
before all the trees are destroyed
public sentiment may be so educated
that the hand of the destroyer will
be stayed.

misdemeanor to Jump board bill,
the fellow who eats and runs away
may rue the day he didn't pay. A
young man was arrested in Raleigh
last week and committed to jail be-
cause he skipped out owing his land
lord the sum of two dollars. The
amount was small but the principal
of the thing-the rascality shown
was large and it was this perhaps
that caused action to be taken
against him more than the loss of
the two dollars.

$6.75. The Sun says he was given a

ised to make good and pay off the
claim that was jumped but later he
Dragged of what he had done, and
said he was going to Jump the court.
But Justice Morton was too quick
for him and he was arrested on a

he owed, this being S5.45. His boar
bin was 1913. Other costs have -ac-

and sympathy for Rev A. G. Dixon,

mously adopted. In transmitting

ord for publication Mr.. T. I. Hicks
wrote this: "Any one acquainted
with our congregation will know in
stantlv there is only one among us
who could have written it, our be-
loved brother DIR. Frank Harris. y
Following are the resolutions which
we are sure will find a ready response
in the minds and hearts of Mr.
Dixon's friends throughout the State:
WHEREAS, Our beloved pastor has been
called away, temporarily, from the &C
tive pastorate OF this church, to seek rest
and restoration of health; and whereas
he has always ministered to us faithfully
in spiritual things and has ever ap-
preciated the sympathy and co-opera-
ton OF those whom he was called to
serve; therefore
Resolved, LIST, That we do now and
herein express our sympathy for him in
his Affections and assure him that were
member him daily in our prayers before
throne of grace that he may obtain
mercy and find grace to help in time OF
need"
Resolved, End, That while, many
times we have forgotten his work
and labor OF love which ne has showed
toward the Lords name in that he has
ministered unto the saints and does min
ister," yet we do esteem him very highly
in love for his works sake and we feel
the influence Of that subtle power by
which he has drawn us with bonds
of love and with cords OF a man"
Resolved, 3rd, That we would not
forget to include his family in our SYM
pathy and in our prayers and we feel
that in the faithful devotion OF his help
meet, in her gentle ministrations, he
hath truly obtained favor OF the Lord. .
Resolved, 18th, That we commend our
pastor to take our brethren the proph-
cts who have spoken in the name OF
the Lord for an example of suffering
affection and of patience" Behold we
count them happy which endure Our
brother hath heard of the patience of
Job and hath seen the end of the Lord
that the Lord is very pitiful and of ten
der mercy" We pray that the means
being used may result in his recovery
and return to us, strengthened in body,
mind and spirit: and
Resolved, Lastly, That in appreciation
Of the fact that his life is given totally
to the work of the ministry-we do con-
tinue to minister to him OF our carnal
substance, with the further assurance
that he may feel free to call on for any
aid of any nature that we can render.

a step toward progress and city

suggestions that are we'll worth the
consideration of any community,
and ii carried out to any extent, are
bound to add much to the appear
ance of city. He clips from the Re
HgiOHs Herald, Of Richmond: as fol-
lows:
"The mayor OF Birmingham, Ala,
evidently believes in beauty as an In
dustrial asset. He has induced each
block nf his city to organize an I'M
prOvemeHt league, whose business 1t
is to look after the identifying of the
immediate neighhorhOOd. OF course,
these leagues are made up OF women,
who have gone to work to make Biz
mingham Il beautiful city. Cleanll-
ness will lead to beauty through in
creased seif-respect. Beauty is sim
ply one form that wealth takes,
says Mayor Ward very truly. every
piece of property will increase i'll
value in direct ratio with it's own at
Effectiveness or that of its surround
ings," is another OF his thoroughly
sound statements. Furthermore,
"Neglect or lack OF taste on the part
OF few people in one neighborhood
will minimize the good work OF all
the others" The mayor has printed
long list of things to be done,
under the heading $40 1t Now. "
Here is u good one: Exercise the
same supervision over your sidewalk
as your front yard. Sidewalks are
the index of the kind of the people
inside" One more: 'Plant lawns,
flowers and trees. Wherever the
ground shows bare, plant something
green in it. 1t is good, indeed, to
hear a mayor talk like that. Ii John
