A TRUE FISH STORY.
Big Catch of Fish Made From Tank
of q Burlington Engine.

Would you believe a really true
fish story if we were to relate one
here? To keep from offending
friend we often allude to an innocent
bit of prevarication as a fish story
instead of lie, but in what we are
about to tell, fish" is about the
only term that would exactly desig-
nate the class to which the story
belongs This morning when an ef-
fort was made to get Burlington en-
gine No. 1946 in readiness for it's
run, it was found impossible to get
water through the injector. The
usual routine of work was gone
through for cleaning this part of the
engine, but still the water would
not pass through it, and it became
necessary to lay the engine out for
repairs. On opening up the tank
and allowing the water to pour out
the workmen were awe stricken to
see the catch they had made. A
few fish made their appearance in
the first water that came and before
the job was finished over three BUSH
els of the little members of the fin
tribe had been taken from the tank.
They were of the sun and cat species,
ranging from three to six inches in
length. OF course, they were all
dead, as the water in the tank is
kept hot while the engine is in oper-
alton. 1t is not known just where
the fish came from, although it ia
thought they came out of the Thayer
lake. The engine is from the Ot-
tumwa division and it is thought
Thayer or Osceola are about the
only places where fish could escape
into the water tank. 1t is evident
that the screen on the intake pipe
from some one of the bodies of wa
ter had become removed thus allow
ing an open passage for the fish
from the reservoir to the water tank.
