Fish Caught in the Arkansas Pro-
nounced Wonderful Freak

nounced Wonderful Freak.
Mr.. Lou Owen, the Barraque street
saloon man, has on exhibition at his
saloon the most remarkable freak OF
nature ever seen in Pine Bluff. 1t is
the head of fish. presumably an
ordinary Arkansas river drum fish.
in the mouth of which is a perfect set
of teeth. The teeth resemble. to a
certain extent, mans teeth. are per-
fectly formed and are set in the jaws
not unlike a humans. The incisors
are longer than a mans teeth. but not
so wide. and are perfectly even. A
growth Of skin, resembling the lips of
a human being extend over the teeth.
The fish was caught Wednesday in the
Arkansas River at this point and the
head of the fish amputated before the
wonderful malformation was discov-
cred
Two prominent local educators saw
the fish head this morning and ex-
pressed astonishment at the remark
able freak.

No doubt many of the younger
readers, and perhaps some of the
older of the Daily Tribune do not
know that in 1884, nearly 70 years
ago, there was a paper Mill at the
Natural Bridge, called then and
now Rockbridge and about six
miles southwest of Columbia. But
such is the fact. In 1888 David S.
Lamme, most intelligent and
reputable citizen and step father Of
Mrs. James S. Rollins, and John

late Mrs. VIM : Pratt Of this

paper compared favorably with

time were not numerous enough in
Missouri tc sustain paper mill

Legislature, through Mrs. KIN
brough of Greenwood, to sell the>
old Davis home at Beauvoir, to be
used as homelfor INDECENT Con-
federate soldiers, for $40, 900. The
place is said to contain 1l6 acres
and much feeling in favor of it's
selection for the soldiers home
has been worked up on sentimental
grounds. A number of the legis-
lators andsprominent ex-Confeder-
ates are of the opinion, however,
that the home should be more
centrally located, Beauvoir being
somewhat isolated. The selection
of the home is optional with the
commission created by the George
bill, which has passed the Senate
and has been sent to the House
for consideration.
