MAMMOTH FISH
DEvOUR YOUNG
PIGS and DUCKS
Ravenous Buffalo and Carp Do
Wonderful Stunt, According
to Farmers Report.

Council Bluffs Ia. July 2-Fisn
that devour pigs and ducklings are a
new product of the Missouri river de-
veloped during the late heavy rains.
which have caused floods along the
river bottoms.
Ben Marks, who lost property worth
$4,000 in the heavy blow several weeks
ago, says he is ready for anything that
comes along now since the fish have
taken to eating his young porkers. "A
number of buffalo, carp and some
other species OF fish of kind that 1
have never seen, but enormous in size,
and varying in weight from 16 to 25
pounds or larger, are making me the
most trouble. And I am not the only
one who has experienced losses from
this new and hitherto unheard of man
ner," said Mr.. Marks.
The fish have been brought up into
the lowlands and into our hog lots and
feeding places by the high water. De-
spite the utmost watchfulness the pigs
have been disappearing. The moment
they wade into the edge Of these pools
they are goners The ducklings are
harder to keep out of the water than
the pigs, and the number of them de-
voured by the fish is astonishing.
''At the home of George Foster, about
nine miles south of Council Bluffs, two
filters of pigs and a number of duck
iings have been eaten by these big fish.
No. this is not a fish story; it is the
truth" declared Mr.. Marks.

I'VE will adjourn court for Is min

This was greeted with suppressed
