FIGHT WITH EAGLE
James Ogle, a farmer at Nashville, Ind., had a fight with an eagle recently which came near proving serious. He was working with his two sons when he heard some of his lambs bleating. He went to investigate and as he was climbing a fence a large eagle flew at him, struck him on the head and chest with its wings and knocked him down. It then flew away and Ogle went for a gun and then to his lambs. He found that two had been killed, and while he was looking at them the eagle came back and attacked him a second time. He fired several shots at it, and it flew away, seemingly unhurt.
