MONSTER STURGEON
ALMOST BIG AS WHAL (

Crookston, Mimi, June 29.-Weigat
z5l pounds, girth 3 feet at the Iare-
est point, length from nose 10 tan.
feet 2 inches. Those are the di-
mansions of sturgeon captured in
the Red river here by William Ander-
son. 1t is conceded 10 be the largest
fish ever found in either the Red riv-
er or Red lake.
Anderson was working on the
sluice gate when be first saw the
monster and he jabbed it with a pike
pole that he carried. The sturgeta
whirled about in the water and threw
the man 10 feet from the dam. where
he was obliged to let go of the pole
and swim. He secured a large rake
which is used al the dam for clear
ing away debris, and when the stur-
geon appeared again Anderson drove
the teeth of the rake into its body.
The fish made hard fight, but nm
ally was landed. In cleaning the
fish Mr.. Anderson found two large
pailfuls of eggs.
How the sturgeon got into that part
of the river is mystery, as there
is no fish runway over the dam.
Sturgeon have sometimes been
caught here, but never, as far as
known, one even approaching the
size Of this monster

Bang, Bang. Bang, three more

and the handcuf queen throws on
the red cloth with a flourish while
the orchestra does another groan ike

The way she does that, said
Larry to Skeet, but Tony sighed out
loud, and the rest was lost
When Tony had resumed normal,
the professor was seen wheeling for

Egypt. II anybody, lady or gentle
man, here will let me lock him or
her into that chair and undertake
TO get out with assistance, / will
pay them the sum of 81 500 in real,

SO the handcuff queen sits down in
the chair where she doesn't look very
comfortable, and all the stove doors
are shut and padlocked under white
spotlight They roll the chair under
the cabinet, and the last thing the
professor says is, Il guarantee she
has no earthly assistance; ! won't be
responsible for anything the sperrits
do to the lady in the cabinet" Our
party gives loud guffaw. Then the
professor closes the curtains and
shouts Go"

The professor is peeking. He stands
with one hand on the metal frame
Of the cabinet and looks in a crack
OF the curtains. Skeet, VITO hasn't
said anything so far, all of q sudden
straightens up and yells so every
body can hear, Take it from me,

the chair over in the corner like that?'.
But the orchestra was just coming
down the home stretch so the pro-
fessor didn't mind him. But some
thing is certainly going on inside the
cabinet. The green velvet gets
whacked from time to time The
professor gives signs or suppressed
excitement, and next the radiant
handcuff queen walks out on the last
gasp of the band She done it in
three and three quarters minutes.
