IN THE WATER PIPES.
Many Fish Found After Fire in New
Orleans

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
1T would be interesting to know just
what the fish, crawfish and shrimp popu
lation In the water pipes Of New Orleans
would amount to-, said an old plumber,
"and If the facts were known L am sure
there would be many surprised members
among even the oldtimers of the city. Few
people know It, but 1t is a fact, that the
plumbers of the city have had a great
deal of trouble at times in a small way
on account Of the existence Of these crea-
lures in the water pipes. Here some time
ago, after a big fire in one Of the more
prominent streets Of the city, the sidewalk
was found to be lined with crawfish shrimp,
minnows, catfish and other small water
creatures. The pressure used during the
fire had drawn them toward the water
plugs, and when the hose was disconnected
they were washed out into the gutter and
on the sidewalk.

cluded before the shooting at the long
