CAUGHT THE GIANT FISH.
Monster of a Minnesota Lake Taken
After Hard Fight.

Sparta Cor. st. Paul Pioneer-Press.
The big fish which has caused so much
excitement on the part of fishermen at Ely
Lake and which has been a prolific source
of tall tales has been caught. At least Will
liam Peterson OF this place believes that he
has captured the monster.
While fishing in the lake Peterson Sc
cured a tremendous strike. He was al
most jerked out OF his boat by the first
angry struggle of the big fish. but being
an expert with rod and reel, soon recovered
his equilibrium and began to play his
catch. The fish tried all OF the tricks
known to the finny tribe and many new
ones. 1t would set of at tremendous speed
towing the skif after It at rate that
made the water churn. Then suddenly the
line would slacken. and Peterson could
hardly reel In his line fast enough to keep
It taut as the Ash came near.
After three hours of hard work. at the
end of which Petersons wrist felt as IL 1t
had been kept in wise for that length of
time, he managed to get the fish alongside
and run gan through its gills. He then
took revolver and shot 1t. It proved TO
be a seyenty-five pound muskallonge and
although II was not seven feet long as
many who had seen the fish claimed Ii
was. Peterson is satisfied that there are
few fish in Ely Lake Its equal.

REPTILE TO BE DREADED.
South American Snake Whose Bite .,
Quickly Fatal.

II Il more than 20 years since the
deadly South American snake known
as bushmaster, OF which a specimen
has Just reached the Geological gar.
dens at London, was last exhibited by
the society.
For obvious reasons II is difficult TO
obtain exact measurements OF live
serpent. but the newcomer appears
to be about nine feet long. II is evil
IDENTIFY partial to moisture. for II has
taken possession OF stoneware pan
filed with damp moss, which had been
placed In the cage for its benefit. The
ground color OF its skin is yellowish.
and Its markings are In the form Of
dark triangular patches.
The scheme OF celebration Is bold
and renders the creature very con-
spicuous. This combination OF black
and yellow Is usually present In pol.
sonous reptiles and may thus be taken
as a signal OF danger. Not only does
Its large size render the surucucu-to
give It Its Brazilian name-a most dan
gerous reptile; its poison fangs are
enormous and It's bite is quickly fatal.
Fortunately for Its neighbors this
deadly monster is nowhere common.

FRANK 3. HOWE, Editor and Publisher

Judge Seaman OF the United States
circuit court, sitting 10 Milwaukee has
virtually decided that combination
OF patents may create monopoly In
violation OF the provisions OF the anti
trust law and even defeat the purpose
OF the patent law Itself. The case was
decided against an Indiana corpora

what IL known as "wind stacker
and Racine manufacturer OF thresh-
Ing machines iniringed the patents,
claiming that the plaintiff corporation
was monopoly and against public
policy. Ifthis decision Is sustained
the consequences will be far reaching
and will overthrow many monopolies
