Make This Musical Christmas Kills American - Sonny Tutt, a well known colored man, was out hunting possums Mon day night, a few others beitg in the party. They were in the hills near Sharon church, and hearing a dog making an unusual noise, they went to him, when they found him near an American eagle on the ground. There was no fight, as the dog would not get near enough for the lighting strokes of the eagle's claws to make connection.' The men all had car bide lamps, which caused the eagle to be blinded to a degree, but not enough for the dog to make an at tack. Tutt secured a limb and struck the bird on the head, killing it. It is a fine specimen of the plumed brown eagle, measuring over 7 feet in its spread of wings, and weighing 16 . pounds.
