CAUGHT GIANT EEL
WEARING A COLLAR
-Four Feet Long and Weighed
Thirteen Pounds.

Willimantic, Conn.-John Balinski of
west Warren captured in the Quaboag
river, a mile below Willimantic, a
giant eel with dog collar on it's neck.
The eel was forty-seven inches long,
as large around the body as the wrist
of an ordinary sized man and weighed
thirteen pounds.
Balinski killed the eel in low water,
it evidently having been caught in the
pool where it was captured when the
tide went out.
The collar, of the sort worn by
small dog, was securely locked about
its neck and so tight as to cause the
skin to bulge out around the edge. The
initials "W. r. c." and the name
Prince were engraved on a silver
name plate.
The cells back was badly SCARED,
showing where it had been speared on
various occasions. Four fish hooks
with lines attached were found in the
monsters mouth.
ut was almost impossible for me to
hold the eel after I grabbed it,. said
Balinski, "for it would twist and
squirm about in my hands with ease.
l finally got it between two stones and.
drawing my knife, cut it's throat.
About the only thing it is good for is
to chop it up and feed it to the chick
