GEORGIA’S GEOLOGIST.
The State Board Petitioned to Remove
Dr. Spencer.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 13. —Thestate geo
logical board will hold a decidedly sensa
tional meeting to-morrow at the capltoL
To-day a petition was filed with the board
asklDg for the removal of Dr. Spencer, tbe
state geologist. A copy of this petition
was placed io the bauds of each member of
tbe board in order that they might be pre
pared in ad vaooe for tbe official action to
morrow by the board. The petition is a
strong one, and will receive the serious con
sideration of tbe board, tbe probability
being that it will be granted.
It comes from the mineral belt of the state
.—North Georgia-and is sigued by legis
lators, oounty officers and tbe holders of
large mining interests in every county of
tbe mineral belt, besides a large number
of business men, baukers and citizens gen
erally, wbo believe that the advancement of
the state's interests demands a chaDge In tbe
management of tbe geological department.
The signers of the petition plainly say that
they do not believe Dr. Bpeucer is capable
of properly administering tbe duties of the
position hich be tills, uot that he is not
qualified as regards the scienoe, but from a
business standpoint he is not alive to the
demands of tbe situation.
At tbe last meeting of the legislature the
state geological department catue near
being abolished. '1 ho .Senate refused to
appropriate tbe SB,OOO required to carry on
the work, tbe point being made that the
department was apparently a desol issue.
This action by tbe Henate was, however,
reconsidered after a hard fight and tbe
department was saved by a scratch. This
action by tbe Senate is mentioned in the
petition Id a way wbloh shows that Dr.
Spencer is held t Csponsible for this lack of
appreciation by the Senate.

From the Few Fork Sun.
Scrahtom, Jan. 7.—Tracy K. Swartwood
of the little hamlet of Oakland Center
caught a full-grown golden eagle on Farmer
Burton B. l’nxton’s place in Carbon town
ship lost June. The eagle had been swoop
ing down on Farmer Paxton’s poultry for
several days, and it had carried a number
of hens and young turkeys to its home on
Bald Peak, when Mr. Swartwood un
dertook to capture the big bird alive.
He set a triple pigeon net iu a field oti
Mr. Paxton’s farm, and tied a turkey to a
peg in tho ground near it; and in less than
an hour the eagle spied the fluttering tur
key, hovered over it for a minute or so, and
then dived like a snot, sot its daws in its
back and tried to pull it loose. , The turkey
was tied securely, and while the eagle wav
doing its utmost to lift it Mr. Smartwood
sprung tho net over the big winged bird.
Before be had time to throw a blanket
over that part of tbe net where the
eagle was flappiug and clawing,
tbe savage bird tore tbe net
apart and arose iu tbe air about twenty
five feet. Its feet were eutaugled in por
tions of the net, so that It couldn't rise auy
higher, and while tbe eagle was kicking and
flapping its wings to get free Mr. Swart
wood seized the strands that held it and
pulled it to the ground. He straddled it at
once, wound the blanket around it and
lugged it to bis own home, where every
man, woman and child in the settlement
came to see it before sundown. It was con
fined in a crockery crate, and they got a
good view of tbe mammoth bird.
Mr. Swartwood had several offers for the
eagle, but it was such a fine specimen that
he decided to keep it and build a house for
it. A mountain ash tree stood in the yard,
ana in a few days Mr. Swartwood and bis
men put up a frame building around it.
The roof was a little higher than tbe top of
the tree, and no floor was put in,
so that the agle might scratch and
wallow In the soil when it wanted
to. On two sides of the bouse there were
slats three feet high aud two inchos apart
to give a circulation of air through tbe
eagle’s quarters. Mr. Swartwood named
the eagle Sky when he turned it loom in tho
bouse, and in a short time the bird got so
that it would drop down from Its perch on
tbe mountain ush whenever its name was
spoken oy Mr. Swartwood or any one of
the family. Mr. Swartwood kept a trough
full of fresh water in the house, and twice
a day he placed meet on the ground L r the
eagle to eat.
Sky hadn t been confined a fortnight
when Mr. tjwartwood found the remains of
a dead house cat urder tha regie's perch
Two days afterward two dead cats ley on
the ground in Sky's bcase. Tbe eagle
always tad more meat than it oouid eat,
and tne c&ta of tbe neighborhood bal got in
tbe habit of crawling into tbe big bird's
bouse between tbe slats and sear rung the
dirt tloor fur what tbe eagle bad left. One
morning Mr. Swartwood saw a< at steal
ing toward the west side of Sky’s house,
and be ran around to the east fide and peered
through the slate. The cat crept Into
the bouse presently, and no sooner had it
begun to devour s chunk of meat than the
eagle dr- pjed silently and set its huge claws
in the cat s back ana made the bones crack.
The surprised cat biased and spat and
yowled and tried to torn up on its back, but
tbe eagle's talons had pierced its vitals, and
the cat had no show whatever t< r self-de
fense. Sky quickly tore the cat in to, ate
a portion of it, and flew to ita perch on the
ash tree.
Witbio a month Mr. Swartwood had to
bury the remains of several more cats that
he found in the eagle’s house. When the
boys of tbe hamlet tad learned of the
eagle’s oat-killing habit, they captured
vagrant pussies and poked tnem between
the slats to see the eagle tear tbem to pieoes.
Borne of the families in Oakland Center
missed their pet cats, and publicly asserted
that it hob a shame for such a cat destroyer
as Sky was to be kept in a civilized
community. Leeeter Warden, Mr. owart.
wood s nearest neighbor, owned a yellow
and white tomcat that tbe eagle hadn't
got a chance at. Tbe tomcat weighed 16>j
pounds, and Mr. Warden’s folks called him
ruck aud thought a great deal of him.
One afternoon in October, while Mr. War
den wai helping Mr. t? wart, wood pull car
rots iu Mr. Swart wood's garden. Puck
crawled through the fence near by and
trotted toward the eagle’s bouse. Mr.
Swart wood Awa:. ted Mr. Warden to scare
Pucc away, saying that Sky would kill him
if he entered tha eagle’s quarters. Mr.
Warden said he would i isk the tomcat, and
when Puck crept between the slats they
both ran to the house Just in time to see the
eagle swoop down and settle its claws in the
tomcat’s back. Puck kicked and yowled,
but ibe eagle crushed tbe life out of him
without ruffling a feather, and Mr. Warden
wished he bad taken Mr. Swartwood’s ad
vice.
Last Monday Laton 8. Robbins, a woods
man of Bentley mountain, down to
Oakland Center with a yearling wild cat in
a box. The wild cat was abie-bodied,
healthy and weighed nineteeu pounds, and
Robbins offered to bet $5 that Mr. Swart
wood’s eagle couldn’t lick it. Mr. Swart
wood took the bet, and the wild cat’s b x
waspiacediu Bky’s bouse near tbe slats.
Then they fastened the door, and ia a lew
mluutes a dozen villagers were peep.ng into
the eagle’s apartments. Sky was sitting on
the tree, and when the spectator! were
ready Mr. Robbins poked a stick between
the s.'ats, knocked a pin outof the wild oat’s
box and flu g up the iid.
The wild eat bounded out and went to
tearing around the house and nosing against
the elats to find an outlet, and tbe eagle
glared at it with its bill pointii.gdownward.
When the wild cat had made four circuits
of the building tbe eagle dived and fastened
its claws in the wild oat’s back. With a
scream that startled the onlookers, the wild
cat twisted its bind parts upward and began
to make the eagles feather’s fly with its
hind claws. The eag ! e flapped its wings
violently, as if it was trying to lift the wild
cat ,ff the ground, and the wildcat strug
gled till it broke loose and left bits
of Its hide in the bird’s claws.
Tbe spectators yelled, and tbe eagle
pounced on the wild cat’s shoulders, but
didn’t get a firm hold, and the wild cat
tun ed on its back and tore a hole in the
eagle’s breast so quickly that no one saw ex
actly bow it was done. Tbe wound mad
dened the eagle, and it jumped on tbe wild
cal’s back so fiercely that tbe wild cat ran
screaming cround the tree. It then threw
tbe eagle off and turned on its bleeding
back, and tbe eagle sprang at it and got a
rip from the wild mi’s c.awsthatiet its
entrails out. The eagle bad received a fatal
stroke, and Robbins crowd shouted them
selves hoarse over the victory. As soon aa
the eagle was deed the wild cat climbed up
the tree ar.d went to licking its wounds, and
while it was doing so Robbins killed it with
a bullet.
