A RATHER UNUSUAL CATCH
F. A. Brown Pulls in Large White Fish
at Cass Lake-Party Back
Today.

DR.. Eckman, Charles Bartles and
F. A. Brown, comprising local party
of fishermen, returned this morning
from a two days outing at beautiful
Cass Lake where the inherent in
instincts of many disciple of Izaak
Walton have been gratifed after an
hour or two on the bosom of the
waters.
Among the' several crates of fish
shipped to the city was one which was
tenderly handled throughout the jour-
ney for it contained the prize catch
of the year-a beautiful white fish
caught by Frank A. Brown. This catch
is one of the most unusual ever re-
corded as old fishermen at the lake
state that this was the first of this
variety ever hooked in northern Min
nesota. Mr.. Brown had considerable
trouble in landing the gamey fighter
and it was only with the assistance
of Dr. Eckman and a landing net that
it was finally scooped into the boat.
The many friends Of the good-luck
fishermen are eating fish today and
vowing eternal friendships.

has narrowed down to two classes of
material-the creosote blocks and the
granitoid-and the representatives of
these two concerns have been very
active. Petitions have been circulat-
ed, heated arguments have been in
dulged in, complimentary and uncom-
plimentary remarks have been passed,
but through 1t all the substantial bust
ness men and property owners have
not lost sight Of the fact that it is
the best material that is wanted and
not the best brand of talk.
With this end in view prominent
citizens yesterday afternoon took upon
themselves the formation of a COM
mittee composed Of five men, booster
for each class of paving being in
cluded in the personnel. After walk

incident which occurred in this city
today.
Martin Daszkowski, one of the old

his regular rounds and had among
his mail to be delivered an advertis-
ing card to which was attached a
large walnut, inside OF which was the
matter advertised. A little squirrel,
o. which there are many in Winona,
seeing the nut, jumped upon Mr.. Dasz-
kowski's shoulders and running down
his arm with lightning speed took the
nut and card from his hand and then
climbed nearby tree, where 1t In
vestigated the contents of the nut.
Fortunately, upon discovering that
the nut was not the kind 1T wanted,
the squirrel dropped it and the card
without damaging either and they
were later delivered to the proper
address. .-W!noaa correspondence 81

Nesmith was spending the Christmas
holidays in camp alone, the rest OF

that he became intoxicated and fell
asleep in his camp, which caught fire
and consumed him. His charred re,
mains were found among the burned
timbers. Foul play is not suspected,
as he had had little or no money at
the camp and probably not an enemy
