FIGHT WITH AN EAGLE.
BIRD ATTACKS A SHEPHERD.
A thrilling story of a fight be tween a big royal eagle and a shepherd in the Alpine region near Omfen, over-looking Lake Maggiore, has just been revealed.
While the Shepherd, umed Peretti,was taking his flock home to the village, the engle swooped down upon a young sheep, killed it, and tried to carry it away.
The shepherd, armel only with his stick, to which was attached a strong iron hook, succeeded in benting off the eagle, but the bird turned on him, and a ferre fight took place,
The eagle swapped down upon attacking him in the back, and the the shepherd with the intention of
struck it with his iron hook sending it floundering on to the rocks, apparently stunned.
Soon afterwards the engle pe- turned to the attack, but the shep herd, who had regained his stick, struck out at a bird and sent once more on to the rocks,
Then the eagle thought it had had ugly and flew away.
On his return to the village, the shepherd was found to be bleed. ing from the bond and arms.
