GOLDEN EAGLE IS TRAPPED

One of Few Remaining Specimens In Country Caught by Wisconsin Man —Measures Eight Feet. Hayward, Wls— D. M. Letson has a golden eagle which he caught in a trap on the Brunet river. The big bird had for more than a month been robbing the traps of bait, and the trapper set about to catch the eagle. There are not many golden eagles left in the country, and it is only occasionally that one is seen in Wisconsin. This is one of very few ever caught in a steel trap. With its wings outstretched the bird measured eight feet. The head is covered with a cluster of beamifuT golden colored feathers.
