HAWK AND TURTLE FIGHT.
80. Il = ~
Startling Method Esed fby a Bird IN

Richmond, March 22.-H happened
ON the natal day of St. Patrick. Mean
! ing a most unbelievable occurrence
concerning an engagement between Il
turtle and a fish hawk, as witnessed
3by. ,sh1amus Cardigan, a disciple 81
| Cincinnatus, who resides in Chester:
field: The participants in this remark
able incident comprised a turtle, who
N compliance with the color scheme
Of the cay, had green back (no ref
orehce to money! and an unusually
large fish hawk which boasted Of MOTH
ing, green other than a pairEof pea
green optics and his envy for the lux
uriant moss-colored back Of the turtle
in the case. 9.
Unable to resist the ailuring sum-
mer weather of the present period
turtles have emerged from their warm
winter bed among the mud and small
fiish-such as minnows, black bass, etc
have departed from their homes
among the deeper channels to shallow
water. Small fish are delectable NOR
els to the dclicaI. e taste of turtles and
Ssh hawks. Thereupon devolves TINS
most wonderful happening. =
Invade, it was a most remarkable
thing" said Mr.. Cardigan, in speak
ing of the incident to a rural acquaint-
lance, and he then related story to
the friend which follows:
Though the fishing season is not
yet at it's height, MIR. Cardigan, with
nod and bait, started out early from
his home, near Bon Air last Monday
morning, reaching a stream of aver
/. &c size, where he located to tempt
Inc members of the fnny tribe.
Shortly after he had seated himself
On the bank fthis stream, Mr.. Cardl-
gan was suddenly startled to see a
cry large turtle bob up from under
Inc water, with serenity, few feet
from him. This member of the sub

[ifo particular attention.

4 "a few minutes I later the turtle,
which had been floating languialy
about, happenedsto see a shining and
Plump black bass The fish hawk,
now nearer upon the water, saw this
dainty piece of food also. Both tur-
tie and fish hawk darted for the FISH.
They nlettoge.her@ in the stream and
forthwith "a battle ensued between
them; the fish escaping With allits
strength, the turtle tried to- drag the
bird under water and drown it. But
ir~wa 4ynot large. enough % accomplish
its desire. -
,"tAngered that the fish hawk should
have robbed him of such a fine catch,
he, turtle battled fercely;; however,
while the fish hawk fought to escape.
The struggle between bird and turtle
afforded an exciting spectacle to the
lone fisherman, who watched with
eager interest. Il was nip and tuck
between the two for about five min
utes, when the turtle became some
what exhausted. With its feet wrap
ped tightly around the body of its
opponent, the bird, with supreme eff
fort, dragged the turtle upon a nearby
rock, where it lay painting from ex-
haustion. 1t was then that Mr.. Cardi-
gan saw the most remarkable portion
of the occurrence.
Taking advantage of the disabled
turtle, the fish hawk, showing almost
human instinct, wrapped its claws
around a jagged stone, weighing about
two pounds, and flew swiftly upward
in direct Line with the inert turtle,
Upon reaching a height of nearly
1000 feet, the fish hawk, taxing care-
full and deliberate aim, hurled the mis-
sile ait the helpless turtle. It's aim
was deadly and the rock struck the
turtle amidships with a terrific mo.
.mentum, crushing in it's she'll like so
much cardboard and killing it in
'tantly.
after accomplishing its desire the
fish hawk circled swiftly downward
toward the body of the turtle, and,
perching upon the back Of the re-
Taxed cheIonia, began plucking at the
white meat, croaking with evident sat-:
isfaction.
''Be Hiven! that bir-r-rud was a
par-r-ut ov the ould bhoy himself. Oh
think" said Mr.. Cardigan in ending.
