FISHERMEN ARE DUCKED
Excitement of Fishermen Over Catch,
However, Is Factor.

DELANO, MINN.-Two well known citizens Of
this place, Mr.. Bull and Mr.. Holstrom, had
narrow escape from drowning. They in
boat and Holstron had successfully hooked a
six-pound pike and was in the act of landing it.
In the excitement incident to the big catch
Holstrom stood up in the boat, and in sitting
down after the pike had been safely landed
in the net, he missed the seat and went head
foremost into the lake. The commotion caused
the skiff to turn turtle and Bull also went into
the lake. Both were able to swim and managed
to cling to the overturned boat until help reached
them.
queer thing about the accident was that
when the tangled fishing tackle was pulled up
the pike was still fastened securely to the hook.
1t was brought home and will be mounted as a
souvenir of the adventure.
