An Eagle Rides a Colt.

The other morning, says the Springfield (Oregon) Messenger, an eagle was seen descending _in a lowering circle above Kelly Butte. When within 100 feet from the ground, it swooped down on the back of a yearling colt. The colt started down the hill at a rapid rate, with the eagle clinging to his back. After an apparently enjoyable ride of about fifty yards, the eagle rose and circled up beyond the clouar.
