LATEST FISH STORY.
Remarkable Instance Of the Voracity
of a Trout


LONDON, July IA remarkable ex-
ample OF the voracity of trout accom-
panied by fatal results, has just come to
light A young man employed at Mr. Sar
gents mill at Upton, st. Johns. on the
River Otter, noticed fine trout lying dead
in the mill Leaf He got the fish out, and
was astonished to find that tightly twisted
In the most extraordinary fashion into the
trout's gills was an eel, which had un-
doubtedly strangled It's captor. But this
was not all Firmly stuck in the mouth or
the eel was a little fish, probably a Sickle
back. which. being too large for the eel to
swallow, had caused Its death also.
All three fishes were very recently dead,
and II was quite clear that the eel. which
was foot long, had attempted to swallow
the stickleback. but had only succeeded In
getting Its head far enough down to choke
itself. The trout, no doubt, seeing the eel
difficulty. had attacked II, and attempted
to swallow 1t, with the result that his slip
perry, writhlng victim had managed to
choke him by entangling itself up in a
wonderful way in Its captor's gills. Thus
the little stickleback choked the eel, which
In its turn strangled the trout.
