Sad Ending of a Good Day

A gentleman Tuesday told us
he had been fishing and as it seem
ed to worry him considerably and
he seemed very sorry we asked
him to write up his fishing trip
and this is what we got Wednes-
day morning. Read it when you
are feeling good:
Myself and friend went on a
fishing trip. Well, we started on
foot for Salt Fork with plenty of
fishing paraphernalia expecting
some wonderful fishing develop
ments. We landed north of the
Arrow Rock bridge at a ledge of
rock where we set in for fish.
There l proceeded to catch a fine
yellow cat and a black bass about
is inches long, however the fish
seemed to be on a strike and quit
biting. We concluded to move
down stream, as We proceeded
down the creek WI saw a lady
with a suitcase turned with the
flat side up playing solitary. Fin
ally we arrived at the icepond lake
and set in again, but had poor luck
there. 1t was noon however and
We had a fine lunch which we pro-
ceeded to devour. Then we an
chored down stream again to a
ripple in the creek that l decided
was a fine place to catch a whale
And it was a good place as 1
caught 8 fine catfish there. About
4.3O we returned to the lake where

of a frog with legs as long as a
man. You know l was a little ex-
cited but l seized the rifle from
my partner and took a shot at
him. He lunged into the lake but
soon he came out splashing water
20 feet high then I shot him again
and we walked down and took hold
of a leg apiece and dragged him
upon the bank and severed him
where his corset fit the tightest,
About that time the section crew
showed up. Well, listen, We held
them up and took charge of their
car and run to the Y there we left
the a and went back to the
creek and proceeded to bait our
hooks with rabbit liver and went
to fishing again. / caught two
fine fish and my partner caught
one. AS it was getting dark we
thought of Home, Sweet Home, so
we started but our frog and fish
