INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 24.-The
president-elect took half holiday this
afternoon, and the weather being pleas
ant, went fishing. The party COM
prised only Gen. Harrison and his old
friend r. S. Mckee, under the guidance
Of Samuel Hanway, an experienced
sportsman, who is familiar with all the
good fishing grounds up and down
White river. The party left the city
about 1880, driving north along the
river some three miles. They had remark
able good luck. for OH their return home
Mt 4 80 they exhibited string OF twenty
five fat and shining black bass. There
was not real small fish on the string.
They were all very proud of their catch.
but the general could not be prevailed
upon to tell how many were captured
pm his hook. as they had agreed to pool
the result of their afternoons sport.
From another source, however, it
is learned that the president
elect was the luckieSt fish
erman in the party, as his catch eX-
eeeded either of the other gentlemen.
Several of the largest bass on the string
were left at the Harrison residence, the
remainder MeSsrs. Mckee and Hanway
distributed among their friends. While

100 silk badges from newsboys' associa-

United States. The badges are blue,
red, green, orange, lavender and other

their banner they acknowledge the
good offices of Col. Alex. Hoagland.

the badges bear Col. Hoagland's portl ait.
To-day's mail brought a photograph
from Albion. Idaho, of a high peak in
Cassia county, which has recently been
named
mount HARRISON"
The ceremony of christening the
mountain, the accompanying letter eX-
plains, took place last Sunday evening.
when Frank Riblett, and j. A. Gardner,
of Albion, climbed to the top-mOst point,
10000 feet above the sea, and there
erected an octagon tower or altar, some
twenty feet high, on the top of which
they planted the stars and stripes, and
sang columbia and other ma
tlonal songs. Mount Harrison is
the highest point in Cassia coun-
ty. Its twin. looming nearly as
high. has long borne the name of
"Mount independence" The beaver
which was sent to Gen. Harrison from
Dakota a couple weeks ago and which
escaped from its cage last Sunday, was
recaptured to-day at Haughsville, a
suburJ, three miles distant on the other
side of White river. News of the re-
capture was disappointing to Mrs. Har-
rison, who preferred that the industri-
Gus animal should enjoy its liberty.
