asylum last week and as result re-
ward of $50 has been offered for in

-Hasse & Converse of Fox Lake,
ILL.,, have been adding more seine and
now operate about 1900 feet at Lake
Kegonsa. Thursday and Friday they
caught about 5000 pounds which were
shipped in a car for New York. The
market price for carp ranges from two
and half to three and half cents
pound in Chicago. Heretofore the work
of carp fishing in Kegonsa has not been
profitable owing to the small catches.
Farmers and campers are watching the
fishing and find it satisfactory. The
prejudice at first entertained has en-
tirely disappeared. A wagon load OF
sheepshead and suckers were taken and
given to the onlookers. One sheepshead
weighed 20 pounds and had big shell
grown fast in its mouth.
