The Indians in Mendocino county,
Cal, poison large quantities Of fish.
They use weed that grows like clo-
yer in punches, and is abundant in
that county. They bruise the weed and
then fasten a quantity of it in the cur
rent at the head of hole of deep wa
ter. The fish become crazy from its
effects and die. 1t kills everything
in the hole where 4 is placed, from the
largest down to the smallest minnow.
The Indians in this way gather fish by
the basketful.
