In and getting them.
This was the most peculiar thing I
ever saw, and I started right out to
investigate. I examined the fish and
found that most Of them were stunned.
Just as I was trying to puzzle it
out along came Old Joe, who had lived
along the Bravo longer than anyone
knows He says he arrived there when
the river was q creek. and watched 1t

says. After most every hailstorm
you'll find stunned fish on the river.
That is, II there's been q heavy rain

Don't you know why that is? You
see those fish sticking their shouts up
out OF the water?' he said. Well.
they're coming up for air. The water
IL muddy. and they can't breathe well.
Now. what happened today was
this: When the water thickened up
