SHOOTS DOWN
EAGLE TRYING
TO STEAL PIG
Henry County Farmer Kills Bird
While 1t Is Attacking Young
Pigs-Is Fine Specimen.
Especial Correspondencel


GeneSeo, Ill, Sept 29.-Charles
Phylpo, who lives with his parents
on farm about eight miles north
west of Geneseo was in this city
yesterday displaying an eagle
which he shot on the John Shafer
farm last Tuesday during the late
afternoon Young Phylpo noticed
that this bird was causing commo-
ton in a field in which MIR. Skaters
young pigs were feeding. Making
investigation he learned that the
pigs were being attacked, SO went
TO his home and secured & shotgun.
The eagle during this time COZ
tinued TO pick up one of the small
pigs, but because of the high grass
was unable to obtain a firm hold
Phylpo shot and killed the eagle
on his first attempt The eagle had
a spread OF nearly eight feet from
tip to tip of wings.
The first knowledge that John
Shafer had of the fact that an
eagle had attacked his pigs came
to him when young Phylpo arrived
at his home and asked him whether
any of his pigs showed any signs
of clawing. An examination show
ed that ono pig had an eye cut and
several deep cuts across its back.
Mr. Phylpo will likely have the
eagle mounted and retain 1t
personally.

STERLING FACES
GASRATEBO BOOST
Especial Correspondence

Sterling, H., Sept. 29.-Failure of
the Illinois State Public Utilities
Commission to give a decision with
in the time limit set under the law
in the pending gas rate case affect
ing Sterling, Rock Falls and other
northern Illinois cities probably
will mean that the local gas con-
sumers will be forced to pay an
increase of 40 cents per thousand
cubic feet, Vice President E. D.
Alexander of the Illinois Northern
Utilities company having recently
notified the local authorities of the
likelihood of the raise.
The statutes place a time limit of
10 months for a decision on a
pending public utility rate case and
if not decided before the expiration
of the time, the company is entitled
to make a charge for service at the
price fixed in the schedule filed
by it
In the local case, the time limfta-
ton expired on Sept. 1, for a decf-
sion on the gas rate increase, and
the Illinois Northern Utilities COM
pany will have authority to bill all
consumers at the rate which they
had applied for before the state
public utilities commission, which
for Sterling and Rock Falls is 81.
This would mean an increase of 40
cents over the present rate of S1.60.

KEEPER LOST TO
STERLING SQUAD

Sterling, ILL.,, Sept 29.-Gloom
was cast into the football camp of
the Sterling township high school
last night by the elimination of
Frank Doc" keefer, captain of
the team, from further participa-
ton in the sport this season. Keef-
er sustained a fracture of a bone
in the right ankle while going
down the field to recover a punt
The cleats on his shoes became
fastened in the dirt and in attempt
ing to swing his body around
quickly a small bone in the ankle
was fractured. He will be out of
the game for the remainder of the
season.
Keefer was one of the most con-
sistent ground gamers Of the back
field last year and his loss will be
keenly felt. In addition to being
a splendid offensive player Doc"
is student of the game and was
being groomed by Coach Fades to
pilot the team at quarter this sea-
son. The. local season opens here
saturday against Byron.

GRID Men GIVEN
STIFF WORKOUT
Especial Correspondence

Geneseo, Ill, Sept. 29.-Coach
Pru1tt gave the Township high
school football team another stiff
workout last evening. With the
Rock Island game only two days
distant there is little time left to
bring the team to a point of de
velopment which will enable Gen
eseo to make as good a showing
as Coach Pruitt desires. Having
defeated Rock Island twice last
season in basketball, Geneseo
hopes to put up a good battle in
football in spite of the fact that
only five of the regular lineup Of
last years team are available this
season.
Coach Pruitt misses the presence
of Sticks" Schroeder at center
most regretfully. He is ineligible
to play this year with Illinois
teams but will be with the boys in
the Davenport and ST. Ambrose
games. With Sticks" in the game
the team is greatly strengthened.
To weed out the new timber and
place practically six new players
is no small task for Coach Pruitt
in his efforts to build up a winning
combination.
The lineup for next Saturdays
battle at Rock Island will be the
same as that which first went on
the field against Aledo. The dele
cation of high school rooters which
VIII accompany the team to Rock
Island will do its utmost to spur
it on to victory.
