A veritable Fish Siory-A Boy Dragged
Several Blocks Through the Water by
o E,eh

Fish stories are proverbially discrcdita.
ble-so much so, that when we get hold
Of good one, we are almost 10th to tell
il for fear our statements may be laughed
at. However, despite this, We will relate
an incident which happened short time
ago, and which vas told US by gentleman
whose veracity we have never had occasion
to doubt.
Ii seems that number OF men and
boys were at work almost opposite the De-
troit and Milwaukee Depot, when one of
the number saw an enormous sturgeon
swimming near the surface Of the water
close by the dock. The party armed them
selves with poles and other weapons, while
boy named Patrick Nolan procured n
boat hook and resolved upon the capture
Of the monster. Patrick made a lunge at
the fish, and caught the hook in its back,
but before he had time to brace himself
and haul tho fish on the dock, IL darted
out into the river, jerking him from his
footing into the icy water. The boy held
on to the boat hook and was dragged with
great velocity out into the middle of the
stream, aud iscn out toward the lake.
The spectators, mean yhile, were almost
paralyzed with terror. Thsy were power
less to help Nolan, and could only look on
and see him dragged through the water
by monstrous fish at a rate of speed ex-
ceeding that Of thd fastest row. boat. They
called to him to release his hold Of the
boat hook, but he was too much terrified
to heed, or not being able to hear, clung
to it as If it was his only hope of life.
The monstrous fish, maddened by pain,
and terrified by the load he was dragging,
lashed the water into flakes of foam as he
sped outward toward the great lake, nev-
er staying his mad course. Death seemed
the only fate awaiting the boy, aud ono or
two Of those on shore knelt down and i'm
plorcd the mercy of Heaven upon his
soul as he fast reccded from their sight
perhaps forever. Providentially, howev-
or, couple Of fishermen, who were i'm a
boat near the straight cut, saw what had
transpired, and although unable, at that
distance, to understand the nature Of the
affair, intercepted the course Of the fish
But there's many slip 'twixt the cup
aud the lip for just as they were about to
grasp the almost inanimate form Of the
lad, the fish changed its course, and the
boy escaped from their hands. They com.
menced pursuit, however, aud being
stout and skilled oarsmen, and the fsh
having somewhat slackened its speed, they
succeeded, after chase Of n half block, ia
grasping the lad and lining him into thcil
boat, while the sturgeon passed on into

the lake. The boy fell fainting in the
bottom Of the boat, and was taken home,
almost dead from terror and the chill of
the water. Had he remained in the wa
ter only few moments longer his life
would have paid the forfeit of his attempt
to deprive one of the fnny tribe Of its ex-
istence.-T Milwaukee Sentinel.
