CLEVER FISHERMEN.
Odd Methods of tho Indians on the
Sault Ste. Marie.

Sautt ste. MARIE.
On the Sault Ste. Marie the Indians
have u novel method of catching white
fish. Two Indians go with a canoe into
the rapids. One occupies the bow and
one the stern. The latter uses a pad
die to keep the boats head upstream ~.
The former has a pole with which to
steady the boat, standing upright in
his place.
They take with them a dipnet four
feet in diameter attached to a pole or
handle fifteen feet long. This is placed
ready to the hand Of the Indian in the
bow. The fishing Is done at the foot
Of the rapids. where the water bois
and tumbles furiously.
With his pole the Indian in the bow
holds the canoe or lets 1t float steadily
sidewise. now up a little perhaps and
then down, but always under perfect
control The Indian gazes constantly
into the water. which is often ten feet
deep where they are fishing and the
depths Of which no white man was
ever yet able to school his eye to pene-
trate.
Suddenly he SeiZes the net by the
handle with one hand, still manipulat-
ing the boat with the other. and plunges
the net into the water. perhaps ten feet
away, thrusting it to the bottom. Then
he gives it a peculiar twist, draws it
up and turns out into the boat often
as many as half a dozen whitefish
weighing from three to five pounds.
These Indian fishermen are unerring
in casting their nets, and it Is not an
uncommon thing for them to capture
300 whitefish in a day. How they are
able to see the fish in the bottom of
the rapids is a mystery no one has yet
been able to fathom.-Pearson's Week

Controversy,

ST. LOUIS, oct. 14.-No attempt to renew
his Journey to Hot Springs, Ark, was
made today by Colonel William r. Tucker.
assistant paymaster general of the United
States army, whose arrest on charges OF
wife abandonment was reported from De-
catur, ILL.,, yesterday. Reports that Colonel
fuckers physical condition had taken a
grave turn for the worse were discounted
at his apartments in the South hotel, but
DR.. Louis H. Behrens, the house physician,
stated that an attempt to move him might
result fatally. Efforts to obtain state
ment from the colonel regarding the
charges OF his wife and mother-in-law,
Mrs. John A. Logan, proved unavilins.
Visitors were excluded from the suite and
no one answered the telephone calls while
the mysterious stranger who acted as the
officers mouthpiece last night was not in
evidence.
According to William Blaul, sergeant of
police in Chicago, one OF the women In
the Tucker party is Mrs. Myrtle Platt.
Blaul asserts that in Mount Clemens, Mich,
she was known as Colonel fuckers niece.
The acquaintance between her and the
army officer is said to have begun in the
Philippines, where she was a school teacher.
Sergeant Blaul returned to Chicago today
bearing a physicians certificate that
Colonel Tucker is suffering from cirrhoss
of the liver and heart disease and that
removal now might have a fatal result.
When he was operated on at Mt. Clemens
few weeks ago for kidney disease
Colonel Tucker refused to take anaesthetics
and insisted on watching the surgeons as
they performed the delicate and dangerous
incisions
'I don't know whether I'm going to live
through this" he remarked, but want to
see how you fellows do II"
The present condition Of Colonel Tucker
precludes the possibility of his immediate
removal to the army hospital at Hot
Springs, Ark.
Despite the precautions to guard Colonel
Tucker and his party from publicity II
was learned from his sister, Mrs. Jennie
It. johnson of Oak Park, ILL.,, that the
second woman of the party is Mrs. Platt
Mrs. Platt is here as my guest" said
Mrs johnson. when questioned in the corri-
dor Of the hotel She added: I'VE have
no further statement to make"
