The old saying that murder will OUT
seems to be equally true when applied
| to the gentle art of fishing, where the
fish are caught with a silver bait. as is
shown by the folio wing incident. A
few days ago, two Augusta fishermen
put in few hours along one OF the
trout brooks over east, and that was
how the story happened 20 get out In
the course Of their wan le-ing along the
brook they came across the owner of
the land through which the brook ran.
and naturally the conversation started
out on the subject OF fishing. The boys
had some fish. and the man remarked.
when he found that they were from Au-
gusta, that they seemed to be having
better luck than two Augusta boys did,
last season. He then went on to tell
that he had been fishing on the same
day, and while the other fishermen had
Il small catch, he had Il good one,
among his trout being rafting big
one. The eyes Of one ot the Augusta
fishermen Toasted on the big trout to
that extent that at length he gained
possession Of the fish by paying a dollar
for it. AS the owner Of the land told
the story, he gave a description of the
one who bought the fish, and also the
one who was with him, and the two
fishermen had no difficulty in guessing
who the last year fishermen were
When they got home they lost no time
in hunting up the one who had paid the
dollar for the trout. but he denied it
point blank. They then got after the
other fisherman. and after beating
around the bush for a short Time ne
admitted that the charge against his
friend was true. The one who bought
the fish works in one Of the city banks,
and it is said that he has got so worked
up over the matter that he can hardly
run up column of figures without us
ing the adding machine.
