EaaIes al Child Stealers

Compelled to do so the eagle can
catch fish on his own account, and
has frequently been shot while
marauding around barnyard. He
will carry off all manner of fowl. and
even small pigs and lambs. There
are well-authenticated instances of
the eagle carrying off small chill
dren. A number Of years ago in
Georgia an eagle snatched up a g.
months old baby sleeping in its crib
in the shade of a house and flew off
with it to it's aerie mile away.
When found by company of
searchers number of hours later
the child was dead.
Ornithologists, in spite of many re-
ports of child stealing by eagles,
oftentimes doubt the strength of the
eagle to do SO. They declare that a
full-grown bird rarely weighs more
than 10 pounds, nor does he have q
wing spread of more than 10 feet.
Oftener than not he is smaller. The
question Of child kidnapping by
eagles is still, therefore, an open
question. There IS no doubt, never
theless, that the birds would steal a
child if opportunity offered and they
found the strength to carry it away.
The bald eagle is found nearly
everywhere on the continent OIL
North America from Florida to
Alaska.
There was time when it was fire.
quently seen in the vicinity Of Phila-
delphia and along the Schuylkill VAL
ley, but that time has passed. To-
day the sight of a bald eagle in this
vicinity is a rarity.
The eagle lays two and sometimes
fhrna fyroV or writich in the
spring from Febru-
airy to May or June. according to
climate. After month the eggs
hatch. The little eagles do not leave
the nest for from three to four
months, during which time they are
fairly stuffed with food by the par
cnts. Oftentimes the usual order is
reversed-the youngsters becoming
so fat and large that they are actu-
ally larger than their parents

Of the law firm of Clarke, Hanson

lowing statement in reply to the
charge by Charles E. Manville of
New York that Clarke had improper
ly discounted note by Manville for

to assist in financing the Hobbs

mon and preferred stock worth ap-
proximately 81 100000.
I'VE offered to accept his note on
any subscriptions that he might
make, and he thereupon signed a
subscription agreement and gave his
note for $4,000. payable to Clarke,
Hanson and Company with the I'M
derstanding that it should be dis
counted by Messrs Mcllor and Allen.

Subsequently Sigourney Mellor of

asked that new note be given by

Mellor and Allen, and at his request
Mr.. Manvlle came to our Offices
and in the presence OF Mr.. Mellor
and several other persons signed
new note, payable to Mellor and AL
len, as requested, and personally
handed the same to Mr.. Mollor.
This is the note to which Mr..
Manville refers in his interview. Mr..
Manville afterward became president
of both the Hobbs Manufacturing

Mr.. Clarke, who during long poll

of Maine" said he met Mrs. Myrtle

"She told Mr.. Manville and me-"
