fine trout one day last week in pec;l-
liar manner While on q fishing trip
I'D Strait Run they heard Il tremendous
splashing in one of the small pools of
the stream. and upon Investigating
they discovered q large trout between
the jaws Of 4 huge water snake. The
snake had seized his prey just back Of
the ,lpau ana the trout was struggling
desperately 10 escape. After watching
the strange sight for few minutes
the fishermen released the trout from
the snakes jaws. both the fish and the
snake being too exhausted from their
struggles 10 escape. The fish was still
alive. but its back seemed broken, and
while the gentlemen were examining
their capture the snake slid under the
bank ana disappeared. - Welisboro
