\ TRUE FISH STORY.
Don't Read IL II rou Are Not Prepared
to Believe 1t.

We give every one fair warning that
this is fish story. More than that, it
is a story of fish with legs. Now, all
who are not prepared to believe may
stop right here, for this is a true story,
and to doubt il would be to question the
veracity of one of Ellsworth's best citi-
zens. a man held high in the esteem of
his fellows, and whose word is good
This is the story as he told it to the re-
porter:
Some years ago he was employed in
numbering on the west branch Of the
Penobscot. His camp was at North
Twin lake. In camp with him was
man who declared he had caught trout
with legs. OF course he was laughed ut,
but bided his time TO prove his story.
One Sunday he proposed to the Els
worth man fishing trip. 1t was ten
mile tramp across country to the pond
he wished to visit, but that was consid-
cred but short jaunt to these woods
men experienced in the use of snowshoes.
The trip was made, and in the course
of few hours fishing dozen or more
trout Were caught. As the Ellsworth
man stopped to pick up his fish he no
ticed something peculiar about one of
them that was breathing his last. In
unison with the opening and the closing
Of the gills something having the APP
pearance of legs was stretched out from
the fish's body. He called to his compan-
ion to see what manner of fish he had
caught, but that individual calmly re-
marked "Oh, that's one of those trout
with legs / was telling you about.
They re all that way in this pond. "
Examination proved this to be the
fact. Each fish was supplied with six
legs-threc on each side-which folded
so closely TO the body as to be hardly
noticeable except ON close inspection.
But they were legs sure enough. The
pond where these remarkable fish were
caught is situated ON Saddleback noun
tain. 1t is a small pond. covering only
about 90 acres. and has neither inlet
nor outlet. IL is said that there is a
similar pond ON Mount Katahdin where
the six legged trout are caught The
fish caught by the Ellsworth man were
exhibited at Bangor. He will not say
that the trout may still be caught. Pos
sibly they have taken to the land and
walked of. Ellsworth (Me.) Ameri-
can. -.

Major T.. +. Douglass has accepted the
management of the Houghton base ball
cldb. At meeting held Monday even
ing he accepted the management with the
understanding that what he said should
always go without question, and that
the dispositions Of himself and the cap
tain OF players should be final. A new
player, Joe Mahon, will be tried on third.
llealy will continue with the team; in fact
the idea Of giving up ball playing was
too much for him altogether. Games
will be arranged, with Calumet next Sat
urday at Calumet and at Houghton on
Sunday. \ communication has been re-
ceiyed from the $500 regarding games
there on August /, ? and 3. This series
will probably be arranged The team
will now pay great deal more atten-
ton to team play, feature they have
been more lacking in than anything. BY
poor base running several OF their games
have been lost and grand stand play has
also contributed. Many of their games
have been lost by one or two runs, and
with Improvement in team play they
should end the season more successfully
than they have begun.

THE VICTORY WOW.
A Valiant Confederate Soldier
Called to His Reward.

Capt. F. II. Ledbetter died of
Brights disease at the home of Robt
Pile, Corner Of Seventh and Alder
son street, at 4 o'clock yesterday
morning. For several months he
had been in poor health and was
gradually sinking, but his case took
rather an unexpected turn. He had
slept during the night and there
were no signs of deaths approach,
but while he slept tie messenge
came
Capt. Ledbetter was brother of
Mrs. Robert Pile. aud had been max
ing his home with her for several
months. He was born in Abingdon,
Va, sixty years ago, received his ed
ucation there, having attended n
military school and was associated iu
this school with Capt. Joseph w.
Jones, who now resides in Bristol.
From Abingdon, Capt. Ledbetter
went to Missouri to make his home
some time before the late civil wal.
He was young man of commanding
form, being six feet and two inches
high and we'll proportioDed. Early
iii life he exhibited chiralrous dis
position, to which was added bril-.
liancy OF mind aud firm character.
1t was natural enough that, with his
training, he would make good sold
Ter. He entered the service in a
noted confederate regiment of Mis-
souri, and fought bravely throughout
the war. The bursting of shell
near his head so injured his sight
and hearing that he never recovered
either entirely, and was blind ut the
time of bis death.
After the war, Capt. tedbetter
continued to reside in Missouri,
among the brave men who were his
comrades in battle, and it is said that
he WAS held in the highest esteem by
many of the foremost people of Mis-
souii. He always remembered his
Missouri friends grestfully for the
bene6cient treatment which he re-
ceived at their hands: Capt. Led
better was member of the Presby
terrain church and died in the full
hope OF happy resurrection. His
remains will be taken to Abingdon
this morning to be inferred at his ma
tive home. Bristol Courier.
