About three weeks ago some
negroes who we're fishing for cat
fish in the Homochitto, near Mr..
w. A. Reynolds place, discovered
in shallow water, what they sup
posed to be a very large species
of gar. They secured a club axe
and some poles and succeeded il
killing the monster fish, which
weighed 129 pounds. The fish
was butchered and divided out
and its flesh was found to be
white, we'll Favored, delicate and
of excellent edible qualities.
Nothing more was said Of the FISH
nor its capture, until recently,
Sheriff Newman got possession Of
some of its side scales, jaw bone
and other parts of its anatomy
and being struck by the peculiar
formation of its ponderous jaws
and teeth. was led to investigate,
and by ain encyclopaedia descrip-
ton found it to be a sturgeon.
The negroes who killed the fish
claim to have seen another at the
time that was much larger than
