Bags EAGLE IN
MORTON COUNTY
King Of the Air Taken by Sixteen
Year Old Boy After Hard
~ -1s III - -t
Fight.

New Salem, N. D., Jan. 2O.-That a
few of the prairies' first inhabitants
thrive and ear their young in the
rugged butte regions west of New
Salem, became evident when Clarence
Compton,, a sixteen-year.old boy. for:
merly Of this place, brought in a great
gray eagle that he had wounded and
captured on the prairies near his
mothers claim. ~,
Eagle Makes Fight.
The lad was riding horseback alone
over the prairie when the bird sWoop-
ed down and darted at him in a fierce
attack. It was within ten feet of his
face when he winged it with his rife.
1t fought savagely when captured and
later struck the pony with its talons
so fiercely that the horse threw the
lad.
The boy kept the eagle a prisoner
in the coal shed. AT all times the
creature was ready for fight. Once it
drove one of it's talons into Mrs.
Compton's shoe and released her only
when leased into an attack on her
son. A small brush rabbit was taken
into the shed, and, screaming in ter
ror, was unable to move a. the eagle
darted at it. The bird held it in his
first crushing grasp seemingly listen
ing to the failing heart beats while
he snapped his beak threateningly, till
the little thing was dead. He then tore
it open and devoured the entrails.
A Big Bird.
The bird weighed ten pounds and
had a spread of wing measuring seven
feet six inches from tip to tip. Some
interesting views were taken of 1t
%clutching a great jackrabbit in it's
talons. 1t was then c~hloroformed in
Gaebe's pharmacy and shipped to
'Mandan to be mounted.
The mate is still in the neighbor-
hood. The two have been seen to-
getLer frequently this fall and 1t is
thought that they nested the past sea-
son on a great bluff near the Johnson
creek. Many golden spangled eagles
"a smaller variety with q bold disp0-
sition-have been seen in that local.
ity, but the gray eagle has not been
common there for several years.

COOPERATION T..
IS NECESSARY
David F. Houston Says Important
Problems to the Farmer Can
Be Solved.

Madison, Wis, Jan. 2O.-That sew
eral of the most important problems
Of the American farmer can only be
solved by cooperative effort is the
opinion of David F. Houston, secre-
tary of the United States department
OF agriculture, who addressed a gath
erilg of farmers and students in the
college of agriculture here today.
Individual Helpless.
Before the problems of rural cred.
it and of marketing, the individual
farmer acting alone is helpless" said
Secretary j. Houston. Nothing less
than concerted action will suffice. Co.
operation is absolutely essential. The
same business sense and the same
organizing genius which have placed
this nation in the front rank in indus.
try must be invoked for agliculture.
" Object is Economy. .
Il am not advocating an organiza-
ton which shall attempt to establish
a closed market and fix prices. l do
advocate an economic arrangement
which will facilitate production and
enable the producer to find the latest

ticular product which is more or less
capable of being standardized and the
object must be to overcome some
specific. difficulty. 1t goes without
saying that the: members of the CO.
society must be those who
are bona fide producers and that ev-
cry approach of the .exploiter must be
aggressively' repealed. The object
must be specifically economic, and
not remotely political. H.

TO BACK BOXERS
Plenty of Gibbons and Clabby
Money in Sight for Tonight's
Bout in Milwaukee.

Chicago, Jan. 20.-Headed by Pop
Clabby, the loyal legion from Ham
mond, Ind, has modified $1,000 to
back Pops battling son, James in his
scheduled ten.round tilt with Mike
Gibbons in Milwaukee Thursday night.
1t was the first flash Of coin to go
up on the outcome Of the middleweight
muss, and Judging from the enthus-
iasm displayed by Clabby's followers,
there's more where this thousand
came from.
Gibbons Confident.
As is usually the case when two
clever ringmasters clash, the boxing
devotees are chary about wagering,
but the Gibbons rooters are confident
bell time will find their man ruling
a slight choice ove CIabby.
"There will be plenty OF Gibbons
money in sight on the day of the
bout" said Mike last night. Just
wait until the crO>'1 comes down
from st. Paul and Minneapolis and
you'll see a bank roll that vii knock
your eyes out. l know some people
have noised about the report that /
will not extend myself against Jimmy
in Milwaukee and that there will be
a return bout in New York, and bosn
of that sort may lessen interest in
this match.
81 want to emphasize my denial OF
this rubbish. l am going in to stop
Clabby as soon as l can. You will
know that my friends in st. Paul and
Minneapolis believe in my sincerity
as soon as they start betting their
money"

has refused to do battle in the event

assign either Harry Stout or George
Duffy to the referee job.
