Deputy Sheriff Hardy returned
from North Troy recently and among
other things that he brought back was |
fish story. In the course of his
narrative he said that one man caught |
| 25 pounds in a short time and that |
Georges boy got hold of trout that
he could not pull into the boat. Boom
hower-the Professor-was among the
listeners, and when Dan concluded,
Eli remarked that they were doing
some good fishing out west. He had
just received letter from a cousin, who
wrote that trout fishing never was bet
ter. Dan. wanted to know more about
it and Eli went on to say that this
cousin of his was out the day before
he wrote and after taking in about %
pounds he pushed along to the mouth
of small stream and cast in. He soon
had bite and after playing with the
fellow a while he drew him partially
into the boat, cut off what he wanted
and let the rest go back. Dams story
was no doubt true, but you can't per-
suade him to tell it again.
