Show GIANT EAGLE ATTACKS CHILD Wyoming Family Battles With Huge Bird in Effort to Save Boy. Glendo, Wyo. It took the combined efforts of the Spaulding family to save 8-year-old Walter Spaulding from being be-ing carried away by a giant eagle at their ranch near here. The huge bird, with a spread of eight feet, attacked Walter in the ranch yard. He grasped the eagle by the neck and screamed for help. John Spaulding, Walter's 7-year-old brother, came to the rescue and a third boy ran for help. Mrs. Spaulding beat off the bird with a stick and the eagle attacked her. She was saved when Mr. Spaulding came with a shotgun shot-gun and dispatched the bird. The two boys were severely lacerated lacer-ated by the eagle's claws. |
