Superintendent, was frank In saying
that treachery on the part of attendants

A Fish Story.

While out trolling for bass on Per.
kins Creek, near Hahn postofiice,
Walter Key saw a monster cat lying
in the water near the bank. Walter,
believing that fish of this size
would be good eating, slipped down
and after several attempts succeeded
in grabbing the monster with the
Dowagiac minnow with which he
was trolling. After quite a fight
and much perambulating Walter
succeeded in getting his fish up on
the bank, finding that he tipped the
scales at 25 pounds. Another re-
markable thing was that tho fish
had hard shelled turtle in his
mouth which he could neither swal-
low or disgorge. The turtle was
dead, having been in the mouth of
the fish quite a time. -Lutesville
