The entire plant of the Vermont
Marble company at Proctor was shut
down Thursday morning by reason of
thousands of dead fish, washed down by
Otter Creek, getting into the dam and
shutting off the supply of water. Ten
wagon loads of suckers, bulheads, dace,
pckerel, perch, bass, sunfish and few
trout had been carted away and buried
by noon. No one knows what caused
such mortality among the finny tribe.
Three theories are advanced: That
poisonous gases were generated in the
water from the effect Of the heat on
sewage; the liberalization of the water
by the severe thunder storm; the strand
ing of the fish by reduction of the
creeks stream to a mere thread of water
by the drouth.
