EAGLE ATTACKS FISHERMAN

This is a story of three men, boat and an eagle. The three men-Herman Sanders, Charles F. Shon and Gilbert c. Mules-went to the south shore of the Magothy River the other night to fish.
 While Sanders and Shon were busy putting the boat to rights for the trip Sanders saw a shadow which hs thought was caused by a cloud. but in- stantly was undeceived when he found his neck in the grasp of the claws and
 his ear in the beak of a great bird
 whose drumming wings half stunned him.
 Shon, who was repairing an oarlock with an ax heard Sanders cry out. Turning. he saw him wildly trying to
 free himself from the bird. With a
 swing of the ax Shon struck the bird to the ground, but the assaiIant returned to the attack. Another blow of the ax and the battle was over. The three men found the assailant to 1 be a gray eagle, measuring feet : l inches from tip to tip. i Sanders has a lacerated ear and l scratched fingers. He believes that his 1 derby hat saved him from serious in- l jury, probably the loss of his eyes. l Shon wonders what would have hap pened to Sanders if his aim with the ax had not been true.-From the Bal 1 timore Sun.
