JUST FISH STORIES

Fishing is prime on the chain
at this time. Last week several
fine strings of pike and bass were
brought in and all resorts are re-
porting good catches. The fish
are biting good-exceptionally
good for so late in the season.
The season has been a good one
for fishermen. Every week good
fish have been landed and many
who thought the fishing depleted
on the local waters have had to
change their opinion this season.
John Knight, a resident of Chi
cago who has been a guest at
Henry Nannv's place on Little
Portage, landed a 2413lb. tiger
muscallonge last week Thursday
the heaviest tiger" caught SO
far this season.
Cooper and Cole "have went"
To those who know these two
gentlemen from Elgin, ILL.,, the
above statement is sufficient to
warrant a sigh of regret because
OF their departure without the
recurrence of some thrilling pisca-
torial event-an annual stunt
which usually brings them into
the limelight of the fish column.
Before leaving yesterday morn
ing Cole said, "Of course we got
all the fish we wanted to eat and
last week l landed GLIB. black
bass-a dandy too. But we
came near getting in bad this
morning before leaving, You
know we got a canvas cottage
up there on Cranberry and last
night | set a little steel trap out
side the kitchen door. This
morning the trap was gone and
a still hunt revealed it and its
captive a few rods away in the
brush. Well the captive was one
of those little animals with
white stripe down its back and l
was at my wits end to put him
out of misery without disturbing
the rest of the family. So l got
the % and then the trouble be-
gan. Oh yes, l killed him alright
but everyone within a radius of
three miles knows about it and
the trap is still in the brush"
This is a slight departure from
Coles usual big deed and hardly
belongs in the fish column but
the dope artist hasn't started
any new space for such anecdotes
yet so the insertion will be par
doned.
