The child screamed and extended its arms to its mother, who was powerless to render assistance. The screams of the child, however, attracted the neighbors, who with shot-guns pursued the eagle.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 The bird was seen to alight with its prey upon the roof of a barn a mile distant. Lifting up its head with one powerful stroke it began its horrid feast. At the near approach of the neighbors, who were firing guns to frighten it, the eagle took flight, leaving the child behind. When the body was recovered life was extinct. The skull was split in two and a part had been devoured.<\/p>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Little Babe Carried Off Before Its Mother&#8217;s Eyes. \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Montreal, Can., Oct. 16.-Thursday morning as the wife of Jean Baptiste Romilly, a farmer in St. Vincent de Paul, a village about ten miles from Montreal, was feeding her fowls, while her child, about 2 years, was playing around, suddenly a large baldheaded eagle swooped [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[53],"tags":[191],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uncledicksanimaltales.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1578"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/uncledicksanimaltales.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/uncledicksanimaltales.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uncledicksanimaltales.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uncledicksanimaltales.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1578"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/uncledicksanimaltales.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1578\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uncledicksanimaltales.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1578"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uncledicksanimaltales.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1578"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uncledicksanimaltales.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1578"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
