VAST FISH HERDS.
Leave the Water and Craze on
Ranches in Happy Arizona.
The latest fish story is told by c.

The latest fish story is told by c.
H. Davidson. G.. B. Richmond and H.
A. Diehl as a personal "Reminiscences.
They went down the river fish hunt
ing a few days ago an dmanaged to
round up a fine herd of fish of various
sorts, ranging from catfish to hump
backs. The terms fish hunting and
round up are used advisedly, for
fish catching is out of date in this val
ley and the real sportsmen hunt them
in the fields and meadows as they
would jack rabbits. The first place
they stopped was near the Haggard
farm, of which mention was made in
this paper recently as a fish ranch
Mr.. Diehl, like most Phoenix people,
had learned to regard everything in
the Republican as necessarily true,
but he was a little doubtful about the
story of fish grazing on the Haggard
pastures and wanted to verify 1t,
which he did. He left his eompan-
ions in A little bayou, fishing in the
old-fashioned way, just for fun, while
he strapped a canteen on his shoulder,
for it was a hot day, and went to
the ranch house He asked to be
shown the fish herds, and a boy was
detailed to go with his as guide.
He was taken to the lower side of the
field, where an arm of the river runs
up into the meadow, and sure enough
there were all kinds of fish nibbling at
the tender grass not far from their
watery homes. He was satisfied of
the truthfulneSS o fthe Republicans
account and returned to his cOmpan-
ions, after which the party journeyed
still further west to the vicinity of In
dian lake.
Here they found numerous little
bayous in which there was shallow
water that grew less and less till it
vanished entirely at the upper ends
of the sloughs. Selecting one that
looked as if it ought to be a good
producer, Mr.. Richmond and Mr.
Davidson stationed themselves near
the head. They saw several big
humpback fish feeding on the grass
but Mr.. Diehl frightened them away
by firing his shotgun, so Messrs-
Davidson and Richmond took off their
shoes, got behind a number of big
fish, ran them out into the open and
roped them. In the meantime Mr.
Diehl had wandered down the river
a little, fishing in the old-fashioned
way. AS time rolled on, Messrs. Dav-
idson and Richmond noticed that the
fish around them were increasing in
number. 1t seemed their feeding hour
was just commencing, and some of
the larger ones waddled up out of
the water and into the pastures be-
yond. looking really ferocious. while
the smaller ones were becoming so
numerous that the ground was slip
perry to walk upon. The cause of it all
was explained when they turned round
and saw the biggest sucker in the
river coming up midstream with a
canteen strapped on his back and
with long stick in either fin, beating
the water on each side of him-Ari-
iona Republican.
