4 Welton Andrews killed a large Gold !
en- Eagle last Sunday, October 80, on
Mr. R. w Ca.npbells ranch, north of
I Oroyille The bird measured eight
feet from tip 10 tip and is the largest
ever seen in this section of Butte
county. When killed, the eagle was
feeding on two large turkeys that it
had killed. Il is thought that the

the purpose OF catching lambs and
turkeys.

T. Hughes, prominent citizen Of
Bangor district, shot and killed
mountain lion just as he was about
to spring from the branch Of pine
tree into the Hughes machine 1t was
on wooded section of the road and
Mr.. Hughes attention was attracted
to the lower branches of tree by
the roadside, and his glance met the
glaring eyes Of the lion which was
crouching for the spring. 1t was only
by chance that Mr.. Hughes was bring
ing 5000 rifle to a friend in Oro-
vile and was thus enabled to slay
the wild beast
That fleeing from justice is time
and effort spent in vain was proven
last Wednesday when Police officer
Ad Kessler returned to this city bring
ing with him George Fuller who was
arrested in Sacramento By Kessler
last Tuesday night. Fuller is charged
with burglarizing Mrs Carrie Gelle-
zones restaurant at 500 lBroadrick

Proceedings to test the validity of
the Butt county dry ordinance within
incorporated city limits were started
today by Eugene knight, who filed
an application in the superior court.
Knight who is now in the county Jail
awaiting trial on the charge of hav
ing in his possession and selling one
w. Alexander intoxicating liquor,
claims that he is unlawfully imprison-
ed and restrained by Sheriff J. B.
Webber Knight points out in his
claim the fact that the illegality con
sists in his committal by Justice j. v
Parks to the custody OF the sheriff
at preliminary hearing before the
! justice, when the latter had no juris-
diction in the case. 1t was brought
, out at the preliminary hearing that

that. the judge had no right to com
Z NIT him to the county jail as in viola
tion of the country dry measure.
