had seen them drop in, one hour and a half earlier. Paul Freeborn also told me of seeing an Eagle, a week ago yesterday, stagger across highway 178, one mile west of the Shell Creek bridge, with something hanging, or dragging from it, that Mr. Freeborn felt sure was not prey being carried in its talons. The Eagle in question passed through a wire fence and half flew and half hopped about two hundred feet south of the highway. When Mr. Freeborn got out of his car and advanced towards the Eagle to investigate its trouble, the bird flew across a small canyon and crashed into the brush as it landed. At this time Mr. Freeborn saw another Eagle circling rather low over this particular area. Mrs. Abilena Freeborn was with her husband and corroborated his observations and statements. They both felt the eagle was in trouble and had probably been shot. I will go by this spot tomorrow and look into this and see if I can find any trace of the Eagle mentioned above I stopped at the camp trailer of a shepherd of Jake Martins and Joe Asparin who is camped near the grain elevator in the Henry Wreden field about 7 miles northwest of Carrisa Plains school. The shepherd was not home. I looked in his cabin and saw three guns standing, with the butts upward, in the corner behind the shepherds bed. Two beds were in the trailer cabin, one of which probably belongs to the boss, or owner, Mr. Asparin. Most all shepherds, although being foreigners, have guns in their possession.
