westport, June 14-Screaming with all the power that her little lungs could develop, her strange cries reach ing her fathers ears. was all that saved little Emma, two-year-old daughter of MT. and Mrs. Randok Creewald of Compo street, from being carried ofr last evening by a huge American eagle.
 The piercing cries reached the fa- ther, who, running out of his homes saw the bird with his talons dug deep-I -ly into the clothing of his child, about to lift its prey from the ground.
 The bird had travelled several feet and was getting up momentum to fly away with his burden.
 At sight of the father, the eagle loosed his hold. dropping the child.
 Mr. Creewald gathered up his daugh- ter and rushed into the home, clos ing the door after him. As he did so the body of the bird crashed against the panel. Stopping only to warn his wife to watch the bird, MT. Creewald rushed to the upper part of his home, rwrenched a double barfeled gun from the wall and inserted two cartridges.
 In the meanwhile the -ea&9e had d1own. a slight distance from the house, alighting in tree about sixty feet away From his back vsranda, 8f. CfeewaId emptied one -cf the hq1s-s ro2a .nt the bird. The shot spread sbAS' had no efkect, only serving to stun the eagle and arouse his anger to give battle.

It was a very pe- culiar scream, she stated, as if the child was greatly frightened Her husband was reading at the time ana rushed hurriedly from the house just in time to save the child from being carried off and from probable death or great injury. She stated that while iu the tree the eagle: seemed to cover the top or the tree.
 After the death or the ea8te, neign- bors gathered at the CreewAld home. The bird was measured, his wings from tip to tip measuring seven feet. while from beak to tail was over three feet ..@

This will probably re- value the property as far as Fairfield avenue this year and after this is finished the work will radiate from the center into all sections of the city. A revaluation and readjust- ment such as is proposed has not been made for some time and through it the assessors expect to materially increase the grand list. There has been some question as to whether to increase the assessments or make a readjustment of valuations. This matter is still indefinitely settled so far as certain sections of the city are concerned. Along Main street prop erty is to be valued between $1,3O0 and $1, 400 a front foot

Father 0'Rourke To Sing Mass In
 His Old Parish
East Bridgeport Boy Will Oficiate Where He Was
 Altar Boy.

The congregation of St. Mary's church is looking forward with much interest to the coming Sunday when Rev. Father William Augustine ORourke will officiate as celebrant at the high mass commencing. at 10:30 o'clock. Father O'Rourke, the son of MT. and Mrs. John ORourke of the South End, who was ordained by Bishop Colton of Buffalo on June 1 while a native of Mount Carmel. Conn.,. is to all intents and purposes a product of East Bridgeport. It was at the St. Mary's parish school that he received his early education. He was an altar boy in St. Mary's church. It was there that he received his first holy communion and the sacrament of confirmation.
 Al the invitation of the pastor of St. Mary's. Rev. John F. Murphy Father O'ROurke has arranged to sing high mass on Sunday next. Inasmuch
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-06-14

as he is soon to leave for the west where he becomes a charge of Bish- op Muldoon of the Rockford, H., dio- cese, this may be the last opportunity that his many boyhood chums and friends will have to assist at a mass celebrated by him.
 As a boy Father O'Rourke was ex- tremely popular in East Bridgeport. He was g. leader in the athletic side of St. Mary's school, was captain of its baseball teams and also of it's football elevens and under his lead- ership the athletic prowess of the school became famed throughout the state. 4.
 It is on this account that he is justly regarded as an east side boy and all indications point to a crowded edifice when he officiates on Sunday next. Father Murphy hopes that as many of Father O'Rourkes school. mates in St. Marys as can do so will be present at the services

~ velts this afternoon announced defin- itely that he would leave at 5:ao o'clock for Chicago there& personally to take charge of his fight for tho Republican Presidential nomination.
 Coming into the corridor of the Out look office where an army of news paper men were. waiting, after an hours long distance telephone conver- sation with Heutenants in. Chicago, Colonel Roosevelt made this an nouncement: Gentlemen, gentlemen! am go- ing to Chicago on 5:3e train this afternoon. I think it is the Lake Shore" <s
 The Coloneps face was flushed, ap- parently with excitement, and his eyes flashed as though he had just receiv- ed exciting news from Chicago. He then went into his office and immed- lately dictated Ia statement for the press.
 The Colonel said. in his statement, that many persons had called upon him and urged him to go to Chicago
  telegrams from delegates The state ment continued as follows:
 .'The kilograms from delegates say that action in the California Arizona. Indiana and Kentucky contests is such as to maks the issue absolutely clear cut as to whether the people are to have the right to make their own
 
 of professional politicians are, to be permitted to steal that right from them and they demand I come on, not as a candidate, but because that, for the time being, I stand as representing the principles, for which, the rank and file whelmingly declared in the states where they had an opportunity to ex- press their wishes at the primaries.
 ''The states where the rank and file of the Republican party have declared for the principles represent include those casting about two-thirds of the electoral vote that has been cast at the last two elections for the presi- dential candidate and in the primary states Mr. Taft has only obtained be- tween ones seventh and one-eighth of the delegates.
 "The delegates, who thus represent the people, themselves, feel that they have declared themselves beyond the policy Of. misrepresentation and they are not in the mood to see their victory stolen"
 The Colonel wore brand new buck skin colored sombrero with wide brim when. he arrived at the Outlook off1ce, accompanied by Mrs. Roose- welt.
 the Colonel stepped gingerly from his and helped Mrs. Roosevelt alight. It was easy to be seen that the hat was of the regulation "cow- man. shade, but spectators were di- vided as to whether it was a real bronche buster hat. Anyway, the Colonel had dented the crown on four sides, leaving high point in the mid- dle and there could be no doubt that the toughest rider would approve it.
 ''Is that hat for the ring, too, Col onel?' gasped out a reporter, gazing almost speechless and in wrapt ad-. miration at the new headgear.
 The, Colonel's only reply was a chuckle as he ushered Mrs. Roosevelt into his private office where he im- mediately gathered up an armful of telegrams and began to read them.
 Colonel Roosevelt will be accom- panied by Mrs. Roosevelt, their son, Kermit and Secretary Harper and Mrs. Harper.
