Tom Crandell, of Great Bend town ship, had a lively time wKh an eagle near Summorsville a few days ago. While hunting he fired at nn eagle and broke tho bird's wing, but did not otherwise injure it. Expecting to make an easy capture of his prize, he went forward. To his surprise the eagle flew at his face, and had he not warded it oft with his arm, his eyes would have been put out by the savage bird. As it was. It gripped his arm, and, despite his efforts to free himself, he could not shake the eagle off. It struck Crandell with Its sword wing, dug Its sharp talona through his clothing Into his arm, and used Its b?ak most viciously. He called to an other hunter, a few rods aw.iy. He came and killed the bird, and then pried its claws out of the flesh of Crandell's forearm and leg, which were badly lacerated. Crandell's wounds were quite serious. He will carry the scars for many a day. RAILROAD RACKET. The Erie's passenger earnings for the first wek of August showed nn increase of $S,407 over those of tho torrespondlng week of last year.

Labor day seemed to give an oppor tunity to the canvassers who are. work ins In The Tribune' Educational Con test, for yesterday was the banner day of tho contest so far, the number of points exceeding those of any previ ous day. There wns another shiftlnu around of the leaders, although not of so extensive a nature as that of yes terday morning. Charles Rodriguez, who has so long been No. 1, started In on his third century, as will be seen by this morning's table, and Oliver Callahan, who is No. 3, commenced on his second, making In all three lead ers who have now scored over 100 points.

Smith and Edward Mur ray are tied for twelfth place, and Ilobert Campbell follows them, only two points away. There have been quite a number of new contestants enrolled during the past week, and It Is more than likely that some of them may find their way Into the ranks of the ten leading con testants before many days pass. There Is room for more new members In this competition nnd It would be well for any ambitious young person, Irrespect ive of sex, to enter Into this work now whlio they have ample opportunity to get results that will count.
