MAN AND BIRD
FIERCE FIGHT WITH VULTURE Near Toulouse, a M. Massourie was out walking when a big Pyrenean vulture attacked him, striking again and again for his eyes. The man’s only weapon was a cane, and the bird would probably have won the fight, says a Central News message, if, in one of its swoops, it had not caught its wing among live wires which skirt the road on poles. The vulture fell dead. Its wing-spread is 114 inches.
