What was once a favorite fishing
ground just below the mill dam is
now said to be Stunned by the fisher
men. Ever since Al Johnson and two
little companions went a-tishing in
the north bend below the mill dam
and made the catch of the lifeless
body of little babe, the once crowded
banks of the stream are now deserted.
Whether the fishing season is dead
or whether the strange catch made at
the spot frightens away the usually
care.free fishers, it is said that the
river bank just below the dam has
forgotten the yellow poles and dang
ling hooks that used to poke into its
waters.
