q On his way home one evening last
October from HARDENING railway
station. in central Sweden. young
man whom passing through . small
wood was vigorously attacked By an
eagle owl, relates q writer 4 in TIE

bird inflicted some severe wounds

In token Of victory. p.
Some years ago several similar At
taeks by eagle owls occurred during
the summer months in the province
OF Vester Gotland, in one OF which
IN unfortunate old man lost an eye.
A correspondent Of the Swedish
periodical Fran Skog och Sio states
that in the part of Vermeland to
which he belongs there was an eagle
owl which became we'll known for its
repeated attacks on human beings
who CHANGED to come near its abode.
While cutting timber one day q man
was assailed by the bird. which drove
it, claws into the upper part of his
body.
He managed to get rid of it, but it
At once came on again, when q blow
from his az put an end to its further
attentions. A peasant in the parish
Of stammar, Nerike, had q similar
experience in April last. He was
fetching water from . lake close by
his house when an eagle owl sud-
dsnly dew at him. A kick made it
retire few yards, when it came in
contact with the fence. This seemed
to irritate 1t, for it returned to the
attack, but the man seized it by the
neck, tucked 1t under his arm and
carried 1t of home.
On the way the owls mate kept ny.

Unity. Ultimately the captor had to
