CAPTURES Ii1G EAGLE
KIDNAPPING CHRTICION
William McDougall, jr.,residing a
couple of miles southwest of Hensall
on gong out to his Oat field the oth-
er morning saw a large bald-headed
eagle, with a broken leg, making off
as fast as it could with: one of his
chicken. He was able /to phi it
down with a fork, and with the aid
of a neighbor carried it captive to
the ,barn, where he enclosed it in a
large crate. The bird measured six
feet, , four inchesfrom tip to tip of
wings. A. R. Campbell, V. S., set
the broken leg, and the eagle is now
thriving. It has excited- much inter-
est in 'the neighborhood, but it is not
warranted safe at close quarters.

HAY TP'. FARMER LOSES BARN
...ND CROPS
• Fire, caused by a spark from the
threshing' engine iginiting some
loose straw at the side of the barn,
from thence spreading up to the
straw stack, .totally detroyed the fine
bank barn' of. Milne -Rader,, lot 10,
Concession 15, Hay, north of. Dash-
wood on Saturday at noon, The'fla-
mes spread so rapidly that,much dif-
ficulty was experienced in saving
the grain separator, which: was sav-
ed only by the owner of the outfit,.
T. Klumpp, of Dashwood, , backing
the engine into the blazing barn and
hitching` the separator on to it and
pulling it out.
The loss to Mr. Rader is heavy,
as his season's crops were in the
barn except the wheat,which had
been thrashed and hauled to mar-
ket. Five; small pigs and a num-
ber of .hens,, besides other far= im-
plements, were consumed. The loss
is partly covered by insurance.
EXETER GIRLS WIN FROM
\VOODIIAM
Derry Boyle, manager of the girls'
softball team, took his bobbed hair
beauties to Woodham last Friday
evening, where they were lined up
against W. Mills' fair maidens and
defeated them 15--12. The game
was short owing to the evenings
getting dark so 'soon, but at the
same time it was lively while it las-
ted. It` was a little cool for real,.
snappy ball. ,'Bill and Derry, who
manage the teams, also acted as ung
pires, so they were kept busy be-
tween giving their decisions and di-
recting the players. This was a little
unusuai,but the boys got away with
it. After the game, the girls were
taken to Mills' home where they
-were treated to sandwiches, cake and
coffee. In this talented home of
music a sing -song and various sel-
ections were enjoyed, everyone re-
porting a very jolly time. The
