| ana the pubic security, found 1t necessary
last September, in following up criminal
case, to go to Truckee, and from there went
over to Lake Tahoe While at the latter
! place they sent to this city glowing report
of a fishing exploit in which they had en-
gagged, and the account of their SUCCESS
to the number caught. the expense for poles
| broken while taking In the enormous inny
| game, and their narrow escape from drown
| ing by reason of their trying to hold the fish
from Topping out of the boat when it was
weighted down with Tahoe trout to the wa
ter's edge-not only created sensation
among the experts with hook and line as far
exceeding anything on record, but aroused a
| feeling of jealousy not complimentary to the
| fraternity.
If the account of the affair had stopped
| with simply the first letters received from the
two banner fishermen, it would not have
been so conclusive upon their fellow sports
men, for upon the return of the lucky party
their story could have been discredited. and
| it is not an easy matter to substantiate a
:" fab story when once doubted and denied
But no such easy method of reducing the
honors of the champions was in store for
them for on the following day they substan-
tiated their report by sending to their friends
in this city, by express, large box of fine
trout packed in ice, and debris of broken fish.
| poles and tackle, which mutely but impress
sively testified to the shattered condition in
which their contest with the fnDy tribe left
their fishing implements. This entirely set
tied the matter. and all doubt as to the entire
truthfulness of the report was laid aside,
| while the two were marked down as several
ahead of all their fellow sportsmen in the
matter of successful fishing, and have ever
| since enioyed this distinction
| They probably would have continued to do
| so, but, unfortunately, gentleman from the
locality had occasion to go to the mountains
few days since, and while there met Mr.
Bailey, proprietor of the Grand Central
Hotel at Lake Tahoe, inquired in rather
petulant manner in relation to the two gen.
tlemen who were up there in September, aud
finally explained himself by saying that
probably no hotel. keeper ever was treated by
his guests in so shabby manner as he was
by these two fellows. He said he always
prided himself upon the table which he set
before his patrons, and made speciality of
his various dishes of Tahoe trout as they
were greatly relished by all visitors, and he
would as soon close his hotel as to be without
this favorite layout for a single meal. He
keeps, he said, an Indian constantly fishing,
and pays him by the month, SO as to always
have supply. "Well," he continued,
when those fellows came here [ treated
them like other guests, and invited them to
