Shot A Bald Eagle

Peshtigo, Wis., Noy. 9.- John Gaeth, a young hunter of this village, who was with a party on the Peshtigo shot the flnest specimen of a bald eagle ever seen in this country. The bird was perched on a tall stub eighty rods distant from the road. The ball entered its back and came out in front near the base of its neck, killing it instantly. It measures 6 ft. 11 in. from tip to tip and is in full plumage. The shot is considered the best ever made in the country.
