w. G. Elliott, manager Of the Academy
OF Music, IS the envy of all the fishermen.
Friday morning he received from some one
on Kettle creek, near the Cross Forks, two
trout, one OF which was beauty of the
first magnitude. The trout was eighteen
inches in length, four and half inches
wide, two inches across the back and
weighed three and three.fourth pounds.
II was the largest trout ever seen by the
present generation of fishermen. Mr.,
Elliott does not know who caught the trout,
but thinks it was sent by the man who lives
on his place on Kettle creek. Old fisher
men say that the angler must have used a
meat hook and clothes line to haul the
monster from the stream Williamsport
