EAGLE ATTACKS LITTLE GIRL
Drops Her When Dress Gives
Way. and Is Shot by Father.

South Norwalk, Conn, June l4.-The
largest eagle ever seen In this section at
tackled Emma Trewald. an eight-year-
old girl near her home, I'm Westport, this
afternoon. The bird, which measured
seven feet from tip to tip of the wings
scared down on the child, grabbed her
by the back Of her gingham dress with
lts claws and started to hy away with
her. but the dress gave way and the
child fell into the grass.
The eagle was returning to renew the
attack. when the child's cries alarmed
Rudolph Trewald. her father, and he
came out with a shotgun. and by using
both barrels brought the eagle to the
ground. Even then the bird put up a
stubborn fight and clawed Trewald
viciously
The girl was laCerated somewhat by
the claws OF the eagle and was bruised
by her fall to the ground. but her in
juries are not serious.
II Is against the law of the state to
shoot an eagle, but I'm view of the fact
that the shooting was to preserve hui
man life it is not thought Trewald will
be prosecuted.
