August Herman. living few miles
east of Waukon, had an exciting tus-
sic with large eagle. AS he was go
ing out in the field he noticed the
bird sitting on a piece of plowed land
watching jack rabbit which was cud-
died up in depression not far away.
Mr. Herman got his gun and within
range. When he fired the eagle took
wing, but fell to the ground crippled
August grabbed it by one of its wings
and the bird promptly fastened it's
talons in the leg of his overalls and
pantaloons, which were heavy and
saved him from being lacerated. The
bird also attacked him with its beak
and to escape being torn he had TO
keep 1t as far away from his body as
his outstretched arm would permit
August had the eagle all right, but
the eagle also had August. He tried to
strike it with his gun but could not
get in an effective blow, and had to
walk back to the house holding the
bird and the bird holding him, where
members of the family helped him to
kill It, The eagle measured over Ave
feet between the tips Of its wings.
