Lassoing an American eagle with a
cowboys long larlat was the remark
able feat accomplished yesterday af-
ternoo by Jesus Bargain. To prove
the capture the bird is now in the
mercantile house of d. Levy & Co.
where 1t can be seen.
Mr.. Bargain says that he was en-
route from John Smiths place near
Williamson valley to this city and on
Horse Wash he noticed the
bird crouched in the road side. Turn
ing his horse in that direction and
seeing 1t move, he unwound his rope
ana while swinging it around the
eagle began to rise. 1t was about
twenty-five feet away and when il
reached a height of about six feet he
let the coil out, 1t encircled the bird
and he pulled in the slack as quick as
a rash, with the eagle pinned inside.
Ihere was a lively scramble but fl
halIy the feethery prisoner gave in.
Baragan stated that he never made
a better throw in all of his years on
n range n that when the loop en-
cireled the bird he was the most sur
prlsed mar IN the world. He believes
mat the eagle had killed a rabbit and
deVoured 1t and was sleeping off the
Dig meal eaten. 1t was slow in its
and permitted him to get
closer han he had ever been able to
do before on similar occasions.
Bargain is anxious to sell the eagle
and believes its huge size will be an
inducement for some one to secure II.

up 10 up. II Is an old bird and one
or the finest specimens ever seen in

blood Ia boiling again, If the people
OF Georgia were uncorrupted frecmcn

rise like one man and strike for their
affairs and their fires. The soul OF the
patriot within him revolts at the
thought Of a United States court TAX
ing a prisoner from the custody of a
Georgia court. and he invokes the
state authorities To resist by force OF
arms. No federal army can brighten
him.
While Mr.. Watson Is in a violent
state of rebellion the rest of the coun-
try remains serene. The government
at Washington appears to be in no
immediate danger. All is quiet along
the Potomac. The wires are UP be-
tween Atlanta ana The national capt.
tai and trains are running through

ularity. Mr.. Taft Is somewhere down
south enjoying a round of festivities
and no one has attempted to kidnap
him. The worst that has happened
to him is that at the capital of Mis-
jissippi he was forced to sit down TO
another s25-a-plate banquet.
