Ten TONS OF FISH
Taken From Net in Spirit Lake
by Game Wardens
MAKE BIG HAUL OF BUFFALO
Game Fish Returned to Lake, Cara
Killed and Buried, and Buffalo
Dressed, Sailed, Smoked and
Packed.

Spirit Lake, Ia, Nov. 3.-Ten tons
II Hopping, splashing fish confined
within a space of few hundred
square feet of net, Is the sight of q
lifetime to landsman. Buffalo fish
weighing from five to twenty-five
pounds scooped up into q net and
dumped into barges reminds an Iowan
of shipping hogs by the train load.
Such a haul of fish was made on
the northeast shore Of Spirit Lake. A
gasoline launch with crew Of twelve
men arrived on the ground at Z a. m.
The launch ran up close to shore, and
the end of half mile of rope was
made fast. When the rope was paid
out 1880 feet Of net varying In depth
from eight to thirty feet, followed and
the lower end Of the shore line was
reached with another half mile OF
rope. A windlass, manned by three
men in each of two boats. brought
the line in and then the net. The
movement of the rope through the
water along the bottom frightened
the fish and drove them to the cen.
ter. The crew got the ends OF the
net to shore by dinner time.
In the afternoon the work Of draw.
ing the net was begun. The ends
were drawn together until they were
about 100 feet apart, under the or.
ders of experienced fishermen.
At this time the center of the net
was long ellipse running out 1000
feet from shore, and there was little
to indicate the immense haul of fish
which was revealed later. Occasion
ally there was a splash, indicating a
good sized fish was corralled, but in
the minds of the spectators there was
feeling that a big hole had been
torn in the net, allowing the fish to
get away, and the fishermen would
have nothing for their labor but their
pains.
1t was not until the ellipse had been
reduced to $50 feet from shore that
the luck of the haul began to show
Dozens OF five pound buffalo were
driven toward the shore by the fight
Of the big fellows to keep the deer
water for themselves. Then the work
of loading the fish began.
The work was superintended by q
game warden and all the game fish
were returned to the lake. The gars
are all killed and buried; the buffalo
packed in live boxes and shipped in
refrigerator cars to Peoria, ILL.,, where
they are dressed, sailed and smoked
