While at the ice pond fishing a
few days ago w. r. Sweeney noticed
a large spider on a leaf at the edge
OF the water that seemed to be fish
ing also. The spider would put one
leg in the water, shake it lite bit
and then wait. BY and by minnow
came to the top and grabbed the
spiders foot
This seemed to be what IL was
waiting for, and without a minutes
hesitation 1t sprung onto the minnow
being carried under the water several
times, but never releasing its hold
