The contest for the republican nom
nation for governor of this state has
settled down into test of strength
between the politicians and the peo-
pie, with the politicians divided in
their support between Mead and Nc
Bride, and the people supporting Cos
grove. If the direct primary law
breaks the cogs out of the machine, as
it is supposed to do, Cosgrove will be
the nominee, and every day Cosgrove
victory looks more assured.

Lord Byron in 1880 seriously
turned his thoughts to matrimony.
He confded to a friend his inten-
ton of proposing to Miss Milbanke,
the daughter of Sir Ralph Milbanke.
The friend thought some other lady
more suitable and agreed with By
ron to write a proposal for him.
One day as the two we're sitting to-
gether Byron received a refusal
from the lady. ''You see" said he,
chat after all Miss Milbanke is to
be the person. | will write to her"
Accordingly he did 50, and the
friend, who was still opposed to his
choice, on reading over the letter
remarked: at really is very pref
ty letter. 1t is a pity it should not
go" "Then it shall CO." said By
ron. 1t went, and the result was
the miserable marriage which is
now a matter of history.

FIGHTS TERRIFIC BATTLE
WITH A GIANT EAGLE.

Especial to The Sentinel.)
RivertOn, WyO., June r.
suspended by n rope 200 feet
above the bottom of Lost Well
canon, Arthur Williams, "a ranch
er of this place, fought a one
sided battle with a giant eagle,
having no weapon save one dis
engaged fist.
With the welfare of her nestlings
at stake. the old eagle attacked the
man with mad fury, and undoubtedly
would have caused him to loosen his
hold on the rope and plunge to death
had not a stone, thrown from the top
of the cliff struck her and sent her
fluttering to the ground, where she
lay stunned.
Williams exciting adventure oc-
CURED while he and two companions
were endeavoring to rob an eagles
nest in hole in the wall of the
canon. A rope was dropped from the
top of the cliff, and down this Will
liams slid until opposite the nest.
At that moment the parent eagle ap-
peared. and without hesitation at
tackled the man. Williams struck at
her with stick he carried as a wea-
ron. and at the first blow it was
dashed from MS hand Dy the DeatlnS
wings of the eagle. Pecking, clawing
and striking stunning blows with her
wings, the eagle was rapidly beating
the man when one of Williams COM
panions dropped stone on her and
she fell into the canon.
Severely lacerated and bruised,
Williams nevertheless secured the
nestlings and then descended to the
floor of the canon where he attempt
ed to capture the parent bird. AS
he grasped her however, her vitality
returned, and she beat him off and
scared away.
Williams companions gave his
wounds emergency attention, draw
ing the torn flesh together and plas-
tering it with postage stamps. He
was a dilapidated spectacle when he
returned to town, but had not re-
ceived any injury of lasting conse-
Quence.
