M. and Mrs. August Bandimere, Of
Toad Lake township, were busy stor-
ing away their garden truck a great
eagle attacked their ducks in marsh
near the house. Nettie, their dog, ran
to the rescue Of the ducks.
Two Of the ducks were>mangled NOR
tally, when the dog pounced upon the
bird Of prey. The eagle first tried to
fly toward the woods with a squawk-
ing gander, but the dog was too close
for it to escape. The bird few about
four rods, dropped the duck, and
turned on the dog. rs
Baldimere had arrived by that time
with q gun. but couldn't shoot for, as
he said, it was an almost solid mass
of dog and eagle. For about ten min
utes the fight continued, then the dog
succeeded in closing inwith the great
bird and crushing its head.
! The dog received few scratches.
The eagle measured six feet nine
inches across the wings, two feet sew

across the breast.
