+. II. Dangberg informs the
Record Courier that the report
regarding wagon load of trout
dying in one of the company re-
servoirs last week after the water

exaggerated. "A few fish did die"
said Mr.. Dangberg, "but they found
their way to the reservoir during
the high water. 1t was necessary
to drain the reservoir and the re-
snlt was unavoidable" John
Dlngberg also informed 5. A..
Imelli that there was less than a

reservoir.

blame was attached to a living
soul. There is no law to prevent
such loss, and as matter of fact
no practical device has ever been
invented to prevent fish from leav-

Il Fills Mexican Poems With Some

Water bugs and worms are among
the lidbits in which the Mexican peo1
delights. He catches his bugs as they
skim along the top Of fresh water
ponds, drying them and then eatin:
them with as much zest as an Ameri
can boy eats peanuts. AS near as thu
pcOn can explain it, their flavor i:
something on the order of the chest
nut, but as no white man has cvel
tried eating water bugs, or if he has
doesn't dare confess it, the exact taste
Of these Mexican morsels can't be de
scribed very accurately.
The poems dotc, too, on the nice
fat pulque worm. This insect is about
two inches long and half an inch thick
They fry the dainty in grease and
pack it III brown paper packages OF
a dozen worms, which fetch , cents
paper An Industrious pulque worm
collector makes good living.
The worm inhabits the maguey OF
pulIue plant, from which is distilled
the aqua micl. or honey water, OF
Mexico. After twcnty-four hours fer.
mentntion it is very intoxicating. Aft
or the Mexican has primed himself
with several drinks Of aqua miel and
has smoked half a dozen cigarettes
Of 1,.in, re
huana weed and brown paper he is
ready for any crime Of violence.
This combination Of stimulant and
narcotic has the effect Of deluding the
victim into thinking that his enemy
and every peon has a choice collection
Of cncmics-is a pygmy in stature. At
the same time 1t gives him an idea
that he is tremendously strong and
wonderfully brave. So he sallies forth
to make minccmcat Of his enemy or
enemies and, as a rule, lands in the
local calaboose.
One Of the peculiar effects of mer
rhuana smoking is to distort the size
Of all animals, making them Of enor.
nous size and horrible shape. The
smoker Is filled with horrible fear,
Something like the horrors brought on
by delirium tremens. A kitten or a
puppy to his distorted vision appears
as some terrible creature. A common
sight in Mexico is to see a swarthy
"greaser." armed to the teeth, flee in
terror from a small dog, while he
would fearlessly attack any man with
his knife or his machete.
