COMMUTE BATTLE
Bird Pounces on Farmer and
Is Killed After Pro-
Ionged Fight.

POCOMOKE CITY, Nd. Feb. T.
william Outten. a farmer at Powells
Wharf. four miles from here, was
attacked by a large bald eagle in
the swsmps and succeeded in killing
the bird after a desperate battle
which lasted 30 minutes.

the barking of his dog and, believing
1t had caught q coon, he investigated.
The swampy ground is very treach-
erous and Outten procured large
stick to avoid falling. This probably
saved his life. AS he passed a tree
the eagle pounced upon him from a
limb.
The sudden attack caught Outten
of his guard and he jumped behind
the tree. the eagle clawing at him.
Regaining his composure Outten
started to give battle with his cudgel
Each time the eagle would spring
back. using every effort to get upon
him. the blows seeming to have no
effect.
Outten, who was becoming fatigued
and very much alarmed. waited for
q good opening and when the eagle
rushed the last time he landed a blow
upon its head. dispatching It, The
eagle measured six feet four inches.
and Outten declares IL was as much
as q strong man could carry. The
bird Is now on exhibition In POGO

Two bullets were left in the gun,
which Gilmore is then alleged % have
turned upon Matt Whit, shooting
him through both lungs. Whit sank
to the floor fatally wounded. Gilmore
then, the reports say, forced the dying
man to drink large glass OF whisky
which Gilmore poured from jug.
Gilmore threw down his empty pistol
and turned his attention to Mrs. Fred
Whit, who was lowering over the
body of her murdered husband.
Gilmore told Mrs. Whit she must
kiss him or he would kill her. en-
pbasizing his demand in such way
