| Gray Eagle |
For sometime young lambs, pigs and chickens have been disappearing.
Hunters armed with rifles and shotguns took to the fields as the toll of farm animals increased.
Mothers feared that their young children would be carried away by the beast or beasts. Families that gathered around the fire side in the evening speculated as to what was carrying away their possessions. The magnitude of the mysterious animal was increased each time the story was repeated as was the wildness and ferocity of the beast that was preying on their neighborhood
Clem Snider son of J.C.Snider who resides on a farm a half mile south of Evansport, heard a commotion among a flock of lambs. Grabbing his trusty shotgun, darted out of the house. Clem saw a big bird take wing and fly away upon his approach. Snider shot and brought down the bird, which proved to be a gray eagle.It measured 7 feet across the wings.
