BLAST ENDS EAGLES FLIGHT
MilliOn-tO-One Chance by which
South African Bird Lost
Its Life.

1t was 1870 o'clock on a hot breathless
morning. Not a breeze moved to cool the
perspirng Kafflrs who labored In the mine
high up on the hillside; only the top OF the
hammers or the rumble of loaded trucks
broke the silence. High above, a mere
speck against the blue sky, scared a huge
'lamfanger' or lamb catcher "a species
of eagle which is most destructive to the
young flocks OF sheep and goats, measur-
ing in some cases six feet from tip to tip
OF the extended wings). Suddenly II drop
ped like a stone and seemed about TO fall
right into the open face OF the workings.
but ere It had quite reached the topraost
level 1t swerved to one side and shot up
ward again and remained lowering about
100 feet in the air.
The overseer In charge Of the KAftifa
brought his rifle out OF his room and fired
at the great bird, but with no effect, save
a slight swerve and a rush upward tli It
semed to vanish into space. The ovsrseer
was disappointed as he much wanted to
obtain set OF claws or talons OF the bird
In question, but had so far failed to do %.
AS he was preparing to blast some doaen
holes charged with dynamite the bird
again swooped down and passed 80 close
above his head that he felt the rush OF air
Il caused.
Looking around the overseer could see
the eagle far off over the next hill and 80
swift is the flight or swoop OF these birds
that the eye can hardly follow them. Light
ing the fuses one by one with practieed
hand, the overseer made run for shelter
from the flying stones and pieces Of rock
that must follow the explosion.
As he did so the sky was darkened for ar
instant, and the eagle once again swooped
over the mine, paused. and again came
gliding down the air at pace that seemed
to the watching man quicker than light
ming. Just at the second when the great
bird was over the explosive In its rapid
glide the first charge OF dynamite went off
! For space OF half q minute nothing could
be seen but dense fumes OF smoke snt
dust and flying particles OF rock but wheT
IL cleared the OVerseer was both pleased
and astonished TO see the body of the eagl,
lying few yards off on a ledge of rock.

LONG SLEEP ENDS IN DEATH
Sam Polkios Does Not Awaken from
Twelve Days of Slumber.
BATTLING TO THE, PHYSICIANS
First Case OF the Kind Ever Reported
I'm NebrRsln---knOwn to the
Medical Profession as
POxemfn.

After sleeping continuously for twelve
days, Sam Polkios, aged a. a recent i'm
migrant to this country, who had been
employed as a day laborer by the Union
Pacific, died at st. Joseph's hospital late
Friday afternoon of very rare disease
known by the medical world as poxemia
The case, which is the first OF its kind on
record in this city attracted the marked
attention of many physicians in Omaha
and II is possible that an autopsy will be
held over his body by number Of physl-
clans In behalf OF science.
Three weeks ago Polkio's left eye became
infected in some manner unknown to the
physicians. In short time blood poison
set in and his condition gradually became
worse. A week ago last Monday just as 1t
was getting dusk he dropped off TO sleep.
When he did not awaken within two days
he was removed TO st. Josephs hospital by
order of DR.. E. Holovtchiner, who had Deen
attending him.
The day following his removal to the
hospital an operation was performed on
the patients eye, but he failed to come
out of his sleep. On last Friday he opened
his eyes for about half minute but did
not talk, and then dropped back to sleep.
That was the last time he opened his eyes
I before he died yesterday afternoon. The
infection, asserted DIR. Holovtchiner, at
: fected the nerovus system OF the young
man in such a manner that the peculiar
sleeping sickness resulted.
Here n short Time.
PolNios came to this country about two
months ago. lie had not become familiar
with the English language and lived with
relatives in the north end of town. He Sc

road company after having been in the
city but few days. one night after
having worked for the company a short
while, he complained Of his eye itching
No attention was given the matter until
about q month later 1t swelled TO such an
extent that his eye was closed and he
was compelled 70 quit work. 1t was never
ascertained how his eye became infected
The case of PolklOs lie the first one that
has ever been known to be reported in the
state of Nebraska. 1t is a rare disease and
but few cases have been brought before
the medical profession. Every effort known
was used in trying to awaken the young
Greek, but all had the same effect-whicf
was none. Since the time he went to sleeI
twelve days ago he had been fed with IN
tectIons OF milk, but the disease continued
to sap away his life, until at the time OF
death he little resemblod the healthy young
man who had been brought to the hos
pital about two weeks ago
The friends OF Polkios are not willing Il
turn his body over to physicians and they
say he viii be buried Sunday afternoon
The body n now at Hulse & Riepen':

probability be held Sunday afternoon from
