A GUEST.
L. B. Ringer and Firmin Huff, presi-
dent and clerk, respectively, of the
Murrill school board, attended the
conference of school officials in Farm
ington last Saturday and while in town
made the News an appreciated visit.
They told US that the easy fishing of a
few weeks ago in Big River between
the Irondale bridge and the Lead
wood pumping station was a thing of
the past, and now there was not a
thing left in the water except min
nows, frogs and tadpoles. 1t will be
remembered that a tank of 10000 gall
Ions of molasses was recently wreck
ed near the Irondale railroad bridge.
The wreck occurred alongside the
Hopewell branch and the molasses
ran into this and on into Big River a
short distance away. This had the
effect of making the water a wine
color as it gradually flowed down the
stream and also seemed to cause the
fish to be unable to ecu air. Some
say the fluid gummed their gills. AT
any rate, they 'beat it" to the surface
and near the banks, where they were
picked up in great numbers in q sort
of dazed condition. Hogs went up
and down the banks and feasted or
them in the shallow water. People
came for miles around and easily Sc
cured all they desired for home use
Many caught them in great quantities
and peddled them out throughout the
lead belt. M. T. Glore hauled them tc
his hogs by the wagon load. No one
had ever suspected before that there
we're one-tenth as many fish in this
stream as were caught during the two
weeks following the accidental dump
ing of this car of molassesN into these
waters. Catfish, buffalo, bass anc
every kind of fish that inhabits loca
waters were secured not only il
abundance, but many of them of ex-
tremely large size. The large ones
had surely gotten away from all loca
anglers. O~ne.catfish, weighing more
than 25 pounds, was caught ear the
Leadwood pump, while scores IF then
weighing more than ten pounds eacf
were secured. The sweetened water
and the decaying fish along the river
later created a fearful stencil, which
became SO great that people coult
scarcely go lea n water. Thii
has now all disappeared and the
water is clearer than it has been il
years. But the fish are gone. An eff
fort will be made to secure large mum
bers of fish from the State Fish Hatch
cry this fall to be placed in this stream
to replenish it with the dnny tribe
