FIGHT WITH EAGLES.

A PAINTER’S EXPERIENCE ON THE FACE OF A PRECIPICE.

An Artist Undertakes a Ticklish Job In the Adirondacks—Bald Eagles Seriously Ob- jected to the Placing of a Medicine Adver- tisexsent on the Front of Their Home.

Frank L. Van Ness, who is now # por- trait painter in this city, once had an un- usual experience. Mr. Van Ness says he is not likely to forget the first and only sign he ever painted, for it was while putting a patent medicine advertisement om the face of a precipice in the Adirondack mountains that be made a too intimate ac- Quaintance with a colony of American eagles.

‘*My adventure in the Adirondacks oc- curred several years ago,’’ said Mr. Van Ness, ‘‘but I remember it just as well as if it were only yesterday. I had gone to Keene Center, a little town in the moun- tains of western New York, with a friend to do some sketching from nature. Some of the mountain scenery there is very fine, and we wanted to take advantage of it during the warm vacation months. There was then no railroad at Keene Center, but a stagecoach line ran from the town to Westport on the banks of Lake Champlain, about 30 miles away. So we had an ideal location. One day there came to the little hotel where we were stopping the agent of a well known patent medicine com- pany. He was accompanied by two sign painters and we were informed that these two men were going to paint a signon the face of a precipice about 900 feet high, which was located about half way between Keene Center and Westport. The preci- pice was high in the mountains and in plain view of the stagecoach line, which wound around lower down and almost two miles away.

‘* The medicine people were sharp enough to know that if they could have a sign painted on that stone wall in letters large enough to be read from stagecoaches pass- ing by it would be a great card for them. So two painters were brought out to do the job. The agent took them out to the precipice. They took one glance down the 840 feet of perpendicular rock and abso- lutely refused to go down the face of the mountain to paint the advertisement. The medicine man came back to the hotel berating the men and wishing he could find somebody who would tackle the job. I told him I would do it if he could make sufficient inducement.

‘*The agent offered me $300, and we each posted a forfeit of $50. The two painters who declined to make the descent agreed to handle the ropes in letting me down, and as soon as I was ready we made our way tothe precipice. I looked over the edge, and I'll acknowledge the prospect looked pretty scary. About 200 or 300 feet down there were projecting ledges, and here and there on the ledges bald eagles had their nests. And they were good big eagles too—none of your owl size.

“The men tied strong ropes to the spruce trees growing at the top of the precipice, and the other ends of the ropes were tied to a big basket, into which I climbed with my bucket of paint. Then they dropped the basket over the cliff and let me slowly down until I was about 125 feet from tho top, which I had calculated was about the point where I wanted to begin painting. I hadn’t calculated on having much trou- ble with the eagles, but to be on the safe side I had taken a cluband a revolver with me in the basket. Well, the first day I tell you those bald eld fellows made it mighty hot for me. My basket hadn’t any more than stopped in its descent when the birds set upa terrible racket far down below me. ‘They screeched and screamed as if they were holding a tcrrible indignation meeting. I watched them for a minute dr two, but as they didn’t appear to be figur- ing on committing assault and battery I dipped the big whitewash brush I was using into the paint and started to work. A minute or two later I thought I heard a swish in the air, and looking upIsawa big eagle that looked about the size of an ostrich swooping down on me. He was soclose that I didn’t have time to grab cither my club or revolver. I made a pass at him with my big brush as he came down. I hit him a kind of a glanc- ing lick, and I think I got a little paint in his eye or in his mouth, for he sat down on a@ ledge fora minute and made queer motior, vrith .his, beac, 5s 8% he con ..tyv-

“hen another eagle came to bis assist- ance, and the two began gyrating around in my neighborhood in a manner that I didn’t like. I dropped my paint brush and went to hunting, so to speak. I shot at them atime or two, but didn’t seem to do much damage. Agair one of them fiew above me, and, folding his wings to bis sides, came down with a swoop.. If he in- tended to hit me squarely his aim wasn’t any better than mine. I shot at him and missed, and he opened a wing that knocked my hat off as he shot past me. Then the other one came at me with a scream of rage. But, as good luck would have it, I blazed away with my revolver and hit him, and he flew back wounded to the family below. None of the eagles came very close after that, but I kept up an in- termittent firing to let them know that I proposed to hold the fort. It was the time of year when the young eagles were in the nests, and the old ones probably feared that I had come to rob them. They either learned that my mission wes peaceable or else I scared them out, for they did not bother me at all after the first day.

‘*Even without further molestation from the eagles I hada pretty big jobon my hands. The men had to pull me up and down quite a distance, for I made the sign letters 22 feet high. Each letter, as a whole, was 12 feet wide and the lines of the letters 344 in width. By roped an- chored far away from the point from which the basket was suspended the men pulled me in the direction I had to travel along the face of the precipice to continue the painting. The rock on which I was paint- ing was a dark gray, so I painted the sign pure white, and it took three half barrels of paint to finish the job. It took me 20 days to compicte my undertaking. The sign could easily be read from the stage road, but the letters appeared from there to be only an inch and a half in height. The period at the end of the ad- yvertisement I made as big as the head of a large barrel, but from the road it looked about the size of the head of a match. Passengers on the stagecoaches would fre- quently bet on the height of the letters, but few ever guessed them anywhere near their actual height. That was my first, last and only sign.’’—Chicago Chronicle.
