 That rattling good fellow, E. J. Hall, the Sandy Hook tinsmith, possesses rSyp inc hA nrp1 ,nf 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 had a gun. Betts replied that he had a pistol, which he handed over to E. J. The tinsmith aimed, fired, when Wright shouted with glee, '"You've hit him." and pulled the fish to shore with pole. The bullet had entered the back of the fish, but instead of turning on the back, as fish ordinari- ter. On getting the fish to shore it came back to life, for it appears it was only shocked by the bullet. Mir Hall took 1t over to the market of MinOtt Augur, 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.
