We're taken by those who went out on

ranged from 80 to 22l, and there were
at least a dozen of such catches. The
shore fishermen had strings ranging

ten ounce to a pound and a half. 1t
is estimated that more than 5000 perch
were taken from Lake Madison yester-
day. A few of the fishermen angled
fer bullheads and caught fine strings,
many of them weighing a pound and
a half. Like last Sunday the crowd
at the lake was made up largely by
people from surrounding towns who
came in automobiles and carriages,
besides there were many Lake county
farmers and their families among the
pleasureseekers.
