Eagles.

Published in the Waukegan Gazette, Waukegan, Illinois on Saturday, February 4, 1882

L. L. Burch, of Teifair County, Georgia, killed a bald eagle which measured eight feet from tip to tip of wings. One of the feet was sent to the local newspaper office, and the claws from point to point measured eight and a third inches. The monstrous bird had a grown sheep down when M. Burch discovered it, and forced him to relax his hold by sending a rifle-ball through his eagleship.
