CAUGHT A SHARK.
Robert Tobin. one of the best known
summer residents went fishing recently
and found the fshing very good, making
a catch which. so far as is known has
been paralelled but twice this season.
After pulling n far catch OF good sized
squiteague he felt a strong pull at his
line and In an instant there was some
thing doing. The fish pulled so hard
that II was soon evident that IL was
something more than sqmt, and Mr..
Tobin decided that the only way to land
his catch was to let the fish tire itself
out and then drown IL.
This he did although the Ash died very
hard and taxed all Mr.. Tobin's skill as
an angler When he got II into the boat
he discovered that he had caught a
young shark nearly four feet in length.
