GOLD CARP CAUGHT
BY SAXONY LAD
First Fish of it's Kind Ever
Caught in Vicinity
Of Hammond

Fish stories are coming in early this
season, which however, is in keeping
with the early spring and early Easter.
The principles in this story are John
Haarmons of Saxony and a gold carp
The gold carp in question contains.
about as much gold as a gold fish and
is swimming around IN the water-tank
on the Kortenhoeven farm near Sax
ony where Haarmons is making his
home.
Haarmans was going through the
swampy land on the Kortenhoven farm
yesterday when he noticed a red streak
shooting back and forth in one of the
bitches flowing into the Calumet river.
Being of an inquiring nature and not
bit afraid John approached closer to
the waters and there beheId a gold
colored fish shaped like a carp capering
around in the water. Knowing some
thing of the ways of men who set
gold he proceeded to corner the fish
and eventually landed him in the big
water tank.
The specimen is an unusual one in
this part of the country and probably
the only one that was ever caught in
the vicinity of Hammond.
Both here and in Saxony there is
quite a little speculation as to how
the fish came to be in these waters.
Fishermen in Hammond say they are
common in Europe and that there all
carp are better fish for the table
than in America. The leather back carp
which is an Asiatic fish and which was
later brought TO Europe is now also
common in America 1t having been i'm
ported here and planted in American
waters. Its meat. however. is far less
desirable here because of its softness,
a quality that is not noticed in carp
bred in European waters.
