Denver labor bulletin., 1915-07-10


had the o. =. until Webb Bur
rows told this fish story one day
this week Readers OF The Bulletin are
informed that Webb Burrows and George
Jones are two local printerfishermen Of
more or less fame. holding sort of linn
tied partnership in the game Last week
these two disciples OF Isaak Walton
went out TO DcWolfe's lake for days
i,<Erg. They have a handbuilt naptha
Iasssseh which is kept there for use during
the fishing season. In the evening while
leisurely gliding in the said naptha over
.he still waters the craDpies began TO
jump and splash aud play. as is their
finny tribe custom about q o'clock in
the shank OF each day. 4 hawk in
tree along the west shore was disturbed
by these antics aud began to Groom in
shril bird-like voice a. ii to notify
the crappies that further disturbance
would not be tolerated. Jones was not
thinking OF hawks. His great mind was
concentrated upon the crappies and how
easily they would fall victims TO his
tasteful bait soon as they tired their
fins out in playing jump the ripple.
George turned to Webb at the steering
wheel and said Great Caesar, man, do
YOU hear those crappies singing. First
Ame ! ever heard EN-, but now | know
that fairy tales of singing fish some
times prove true Webb didn't have
the heart TO point up in the tree where
the hawk WAS visible and "a George will
continue TO think that jumping crappies
Sing IN DeNolie lake at d O'Clock in the
evening until he reads here how Burrows
has again played him false.
