 That rattling good fellow, E. J. Hall, the Sandy Hook tinsmith, possesses qualities the general public are not aware of. The other day Cecil Wright and Ralph Betts came running breath less into the tin shop with the cry that there was a large fish in the water close to the drug store. Going with them into the store Hall asked if they a pistol, which he handed over to B. J.. The tinsmith aimed, fired, when Wright shouted with glee, ."You've hit him." and pulled the fish to shore with a pole. The bullet had entered the back of the fish, but instead of turning on the back, as fish ordinari- ly will do, it stood upright in the wa ter. On getting the fish to shore it came back to life, for it appears it was only shocked by the bullet. MT Hall took it over to the market of Minott A0gur, who weighed it. It tipped the scales to the tune of one and three quarter pounds. MT Hall then pre- sented it to MT Augur, who testified later that it was one of the finest fish he had ever eaten. It is reported MT Hall has received a very handsome offer to travel with the Buffalo Bill troupe, but it is not believed that he will accept.
