YOUNG BOY ATTACKED
BY BIG GBAY EAGLE
Monster Bird Swoops Down on Child,
Carries Him 50 Yards, Then
Releases Him.
Coweta, I. T.—The five-year-old son
of Nero Charles, a farmer living near
Coweta, was attacked by a large gray
eagle a few days ago, and narrowly
escaped with his life after being car-
ried 50 yards by the fierce bird. So
far as known, this is the first tims
In the history of Indian Territory that
The Fierce Bird Carried the Chili
Fifty Yards.
a child has actually been picked up
and carried by an eagle.
The child, with others, was playing
in a field on its fathers farm, near
Jackson Ferry, on Verdigris river,
eight miles northeast of Coweta,
when the eagle swooped down upon
him, catching the child's clothing
with its talons and starting off. The
screams of the other children ap-
parently frightened the eagle, and,
finding that it could not make much
progress with the child, it dropped
him 50 yards from the place where
he was picked up.
The child weighs 50 pounds, and at
no time did th • eagle' succeed in get-
ting more than eight or ten feet
above the ground with him. The child
was not injured save for a few
bruises and scratches when his par-
ents found him. The eagle made no
attempt to strike its talons into tho
child nor beat him with its wings.
It has been known for so:no time
that there were two gray eagles nest-
ing on the Verdi ' r river not far
from Jackson's Ferry. About ten
days ago a farmer named Kirkbride,
who lives near the ferry, killed one
of the eagles with a ride. They
wore very cunning, and it was impos-
sible* to get close enough to kill them
with a shotgun. When this eagle
was shot it was devouring a pig
which it had killed. Since the child
was attacked by the eagle another
one has been killed, and it is believed
that these two are the only ones
on the river that are large and fierce
enough to cause trouble. Each of the
two killed measured over seven feet
from tip to tip of wings.

INTERURBAN BRIDGE BILL.
Committee Made a Favorable Report
on It to the Senate.
Austin, Tex.: The first business in
the Senate Monday morning was a pe-
tition sent up by Senator Hudspeth

sion or dlssent'ng vote.

its work as much as possible, he would
move to adjourn until 9 a. m. Tues

St Thomas, D. W. I.: Reports re-
ceived from Jamaica say that it is es-
timated that 1,000 persons have been

000 persons are homeless. Tho dam-

among the killed.
St. Augustine, Fla.: Wireless mes-
sages received at the station on Ana-
stasia Island by Chief Electrician El

cracks 100 feet deep were caused by

are felt that the entire city will slip

as great as the calamities of San

Comer of King and Market Streets, Where Devastation
and Fire Wat Complete.
Two Headed Rat Killed While Trying
to Run Into Two Holes.
Port Jervis, N. Y.—An unusual
curiosity and freak of nature In the
shape of a two headed rat was killed
in the Victoria hotel. Sussex street.
The proprietor of the hotel, Henry
Richardson, heard the rat squeal in
the bottom of the dummy waiter shaft.
He sent one of his men to kill it and
remove it. The rodent was slain
with a club, when'the discovery was
made that it had two heads attached
to one body. Both heads were per-
fectly formed and the two necks hold-
ing the heads joined the body at the
shoulders, which were abnormally
broad. It is unfortunate that the rat
was not captured alive, as it would
have proved a great curiosity.
It was at first supposed that the
rodent squeezed its body through a
hole at the bottom of the elevator and
could not get back. Examination of i
the shaft led to the discovery of two ■
rat holes close together, and it was j
found that each head of the rat took j
a separate hole to escape, its one :
body, of course, preventing it.

I warehouses falling in.
Many professional men are dead and
i injured. The negroes are looting,
j Ghastly scenes are being witnessed.

; Kingston are in ruins. Very few of
| them are safe to live in.
| The governor and his party are safe.

difficult.
Negroes Loot Saloons.
London: The following telegram has
been received from a press representa-
tive who accompanied Sir Alfred
Jones Ind his party to Jaimaca:
“Fire broke out again tonight. The ,
negroes are looting the rum shops, j
At least 500 have been killed. There
are weird and terrible scenes. Forty- ;
fiv invalid soldiers were burned to'
death in the military hospital. Sever-
al shocks were felt today.”
The above dispatch is not dated.
CANAL LABORERS MUTINY.
Hare’s Head Like a Cat’s.
Cowansville, P. Q.—A wild rabbit,
with a head like a cat and the rest of
its body like an ordinary hare, has
been brought in here by Hugh Ford
and is an object of much curiosity.
Ford got tho hybrid while running rab-
bits with a hound. As It jumped atong
in the ordinary way he noted nothing
peculiar about it until he picked it up.
He then saw that he had a real curl-1
osity. An examination of the animal's
stomach showed that it had been eat-
ing ttesh. the remains of a bird being
found. Its teeth, like those of a cat,
accounted for its peculiar appetite.
As the hybrid was fat and strong, it
appears to have bgen aide to get ail
the food it needed. Probably birds,
mistaking it for a rabbit, failed to get
out of the way. A cat that can jump
20 feet isn't liable to go hungry, in any
event.
Gombert Not Guilty.
Houston, Tex.: Maurice Gombert,
charjfbd with murder, by the killing
of his wife, was today in the criminal
court, tried and found not guilty.
The trial drey many spectators to
the court. It was of brief duration,
compared with the trial of murder
cases in general. The plea of the de
fendant was self-defense. The prln
cipnl witnesses were Miss Etta and
Mis3 Mamie Gombert, nieces of the
defendant, who were In the house at
the time of the killing, and Mike Has-
kel. The testimony of (hese sustained
tho plea ef self-defense, and the jury
wag instructed by the court to return
a verdict of not guilty
Refused to De Fed on Rotten Beef—
Called on Marines.
Colon, C. Z : The steamship Canada,
Compagnie Gcnerale Transatlantique,
arrived at Colon Monday under con-
voy of the French gunboat Clever,
with 112 laborers for the canal, 150
of whom are Italians and the rest
Spanish.
It was reported at Port of Spain,
Trinidad, that a lot of rotten beef was
taken on to feed the laborers, where-
upon they mutinied and refused to al-
low the landing or taking on of pas-
sengers. The French gunboat was
then called upon by the Canada to put
a number of marines aboard, where
upon good order was preserved. Much
excitement prevailed at Colon and
many wild rumors were afloat, but
French Charge d’Affairs Omet at Pan-
ama says no trouble will follow. The
laborers landed in the Canal Zone and
no arrests were made.
Communication with the Island Is
partly restored, and every message
that comes through brings fresh de-
tails of the appalling catastrophe. Tho
number of dead is placed variously
at from 500 to 1,200 and the num-
ber of injured runs into the thousands.
Ten thousand people are said to be
homeless. The danger of famine has
increased and with it stands the spec-
tre of pestilance. There Is urgent
need of supplies of all kinds, and en-
ergetic efforts are being made In this
country and in England to send aid.
The business section of the city has
been wiped out and the estimate of
damage is from $10,000,000 to $15,000,
000
Among the dead and injured are a
number of prominent English people,
and almost every dispatch adds a new
name to the list.
Eight Americans are recorded as
missing, and It is said that many tour-
ists undoubtedly were crushed by fall-
ing walls in the shopping district.
The American battleships Missouri
and Indiana have reached the scene,
and American officers and sailors arc
standing by to render every assistance
in their power
A new horror is added to the situa-
tion by reports that the city seems
to be slowly sinking into the sea. The
contour of the bottom of the harbor
lias materially changed, and two light
houses at the harbor entrance are said
to have disappeared.
The ships in tire harbor arc crowd
od with injured people, and the.death
l!st is being increased daily. Corpses
lie in tire streets and are being thrown
into trenches
The fearsome extent of the appalling
calamity that has visited tire capital
of Jamaisa has not yet been recorded
to the outside world, and it is doubtful
if even tlie people of Kingston them '
selves are yet aware of the full exter/ |
of the disaster that overwhelmed them j
last Monday afternoon.
