Mrs. Grundy, and it proves she saws

Inc champion Fish Story Has Come
From Neihart.
Great Falls, Aug. THE following
fish story comes from Neihart and is
told by the Herald. None of it's state
ments are accompanied by affidavits:
"A crowd of lusty fishermen went
down Belt last Sunday, returning with
more than 200 trout and whitefish.
They had great luck. There were of
the party F. NJ. and B. o. Kempfer,
Hans Westgard, Johnny Walker, San
dy Trip and Pete Fake. Mr.. West
gard did not catch as many as the
others, as he spent most of his time
fishing for mudturtles with a bullfrog
on seven come-eleven proposition
bait. The generally accepted belief
that If you swear you can't catch
any fish was thoroughly exploded, for
Sandy Trip never stopped swearing
and affidavits on file in this office go
to show that he caught two fish.
Charles Connor got so mad because the
fish wouldn't bite that he jumped in
and tried to run them down. Johnny
Walker caught trout which weighed
81 pounds. This is the biggest trout
yarn of the season, especially as the
author is an alderman of the city and
his word is generally good. At the
lunch hour Barney Kempfer was tell
ing that he had already caught Is;
but when they came to inspect his
creel they found that he had caught
one fish Is times. 1t was bullhead."

upon President-eleCt Arthur T. Hadley
of Yale university. He has been elected
a director of the First National bank of
New Haven. 1t was recently rumored
that Yale was about to start a bank
as a convenient way to handle her
funds. The election of Mr. Hadley as
a director in the First National is taken
to contradict this. Professor Hadley
is the first president of Yale to be thus
