    Shot Misses Eagle,
Bird F elted Alive
Herrln, 111. (U.PJ -When John
Henson of Herrin, 111,, went
duck hunting recently, he didn't
expect to bag a Uve eagle with
wing-spread of six feet.
He took a shot at the eagle
which was hot on the trail of
some ducks, and much to his
surprise, felled the bird. He was
even more surprised to find it
alive. What made the bird fall
remained a mystery, however,
because there were no wounds
visible.
"Must have been shell-shock,"
Henson concluded.
