NO FISH STORIES.
The Angler who Tells the Truth,
Reanifa Tam nfaIinn.

Despite Tenn ptation.
l think it's just as wrong to lie about
fishing as about anything else. l presume
that I'm about as expert ar angler as
ever cast a fly, but I'd no more add one
to the number of my catch or an ounce to
the weight of a fish than I'd falsify an
account or give short change to a Gus
toner. That's the reason | get the worst
of it when some fellows are doing their
Dragging on dry land. but once on the
water / make them all sing very low.
I remember when we wen to Georgian
Bay two years ago. there were some men
abroad telling some mighty big yarns.
You'd think the Government couldn't
keep the lakes stocked If they did much
fishing. : / never said a word about what
j could do. The very first day we got
at the sport / struck one Of those we'll
like holes and caught ~eighty-three
speckled bass with one minnow. and the
dwarf in the whole take weighed six
pounds. 1t was quite a load toapull back
and when landed the other chaps were
bing somebody's nets. ] didn't nave any
Thing more to say than if I'd only caught
a mess of perch, but 1t did grind me a lit
tie that one fellow had a thirty pound
Auskalonga.
Next day I went out single handed
again, bent on getting big game. Just to
fool those who kept in sight for a time I
fished with a five ounce rod and in open
water. 1t was clear as crystal. and 1
saw a big pickerel seize the hook. Just
as he began to make the reel spin a
muskalonge' hove Inns sight, seven feet
long, if it was an INCH lttook after the
pickerel. You never. saw such a chase,
the smaller fish lodging and turning like
a fox. When about 400 yards of line were
out things became quiet, and I hauled in
the Others drawing near to see what I'd
get. I couldn't imagine why the tug was
SO great, and was afraid / had picked up
d log. But in darling over and under
the muskalonge the pickerel had wound
him up in the line and I landed both.

BY ARREST AND WRIT OF HABEAS

INTO COURT.
MORE GRAND JURY INDICTMENTS.
Some Sensational Developments Ex-
pected TOday-Nevys of Min
neapOlis.

Attorney General Childs and the dis
trict bench have agreed on proceed
ure to determine wliether the grand
jury has the power to summon the gov
ernor of this state before it by It's
subpoena. Gov. Clough having refus-
ed to obey the summons, an attachment
is to be issued, and. the governor is to
be placed under nominal arrest. Habeas
corpus proceedings will then bring the
case directly before the supreme court.
The grand jury is anxious to secure
the state examiners reports to the gov
ernor on the failed banks
1t was expected that the court would
make out the commitment papers at
once and hand them over for service
on the chief executive, but inquiry at
the sheriffs office in the afternoon
revealed the fact that the papers had
not yet come. to light. and that that
office was waiting for them.
JUDGE ELLIOTT DIssENrs.
Judge Elliott was not very we'll pleas
ed when he found that it was known
that the judges had decided to make
a supreme court contest of the mat
ter.
II have been firmly of the opinion
all the time," said he, that it was the
duty of the governor to produce these
reports, and that 1t was his duty TO
answer the subpoena of this court 1
do not think. it is dignified for this
court to go into any arrangements Of
2 the kind they contemplate, and per-
haps they will not. The idea Of issuing
an attachment for the governor am
decidedly opposed to- 1 have looked
this matter up, and l cannot believe
with those who think that the gov
ernor is taking the right course. I
want it emphatically understood, how
ever, that l am not in favor of this
attachment, and I did not know that
we had decided upon that course. 1t is
news to me-"
This looks as If there might be no
attachment issued after all, or, if one
is issued, that it will not be with the
unanimous consent of the court.
