An Owl AS Fish Catcher.
Nadosta. Ga, March 5.-(Spccial "A
friend OF unquestoncd veracity vouches for
the truth of another fish story. His friend
who lives Il few miles in the country set a
line for cat fish one day last week. In the
morning when he vert after the fish he
found them III abundance, and on one line
he found large owl that must have been II
terror TO birds and fishes when alive. The
line was wound around the body and the
nccl; Of the owl, and the fish bore marks of
the owls taions indicating that the owl had
caught the fish after the hook had caught it.
and in its efforts to fly away with the fish it
had been ensnarcd 10y the line. after which
the fish had its inning by drowning the owl.
At any rate the owl was dead and the fish,
though disfgured, was still in the swim,
and playing the line with vigor that caus-
ed the line to bob up and down with the
jrrcguarity of the cotton market. The
drowned owl is on exhibition as q witness
to the truth of the story. and the fish,
though the finest of the catch, escaped the
frying pan. and now has Il steady lob rs an
owl catcher. The fisher set him for owls.
