EAGLE V. AEROPLANE.
"Old Baldy," monarch of the air for years over the Essex County the Adirondacks, is no more, and his passing is mourned by scores of mountain folk who daily watched the great eagle sweep high above their homes. The huge bald eagle was killed in a fight with an aeroplane, the battle being witnessed by scores of persons. Going far above the 'plane the eagle dropped on it like a bullet, but made the strategic error of a frontal attack and was caught in the whirling propeller.
