more than a reasonable doubt as to
the guilt of Leo NJ Frank, who has

A FISH STORY

The life of the fisherman Is a hard
one. This Is the sober decision ar
rived at by Oscar Johnson, Carl Thay-
er and the writer. We went out to
Lake Campbell Friday night to spend
the first two days Of the fishing season
and We put up at the Multiplication
cottage on the east side of the lake.
Our s%ojourn was one long nightmare
and we now have a very keen sympa-
thy for the Belgian refugees. Satur-
day the wind blew a hurricane and the
mosquitoes wouldn't even bite and
Sunday it turned cold and rained and
h%urricaned some more. We wouldn't
have minded the cold SO much If we
had had a fire, but had stolen
the stove pipe, and we would have
been fairly comfortable even then If
we hadn't run out of grub. On top of
this we didn't have any bait of any
kind, and the fish wouldn't bite any
way. We were expecting an auto out
from town Sunday to take us home,
but the heavy rains had made it i'm
possible for a car to get through, as
the fat was covered with water. We
tried to be cheerful about the matter
and between smear" games we CON-
posed a song entitled, Its a Long
Ways to %Brookings," and we included
that line about our heart being right
there. We didn't have any Sunday din
ner and as there was no succor-
that's a good word-in sight by even
ing we started out on a foraging ex-
petition. We visited two or three
farm houses and the store at the south
end Of the lake and bought enough
grub for a swell banquet, which we
sat down to promptly at eleven o'clock
that night. Early Monday morning
we sem out an s. o. 8. to Thad LIE
Fevre, who responded nobly to our ap-
peal and we arrived home safely de-
spite our terrible hardships. We didn't
get any fish and we nearly froze to
death and were half-starved, but aside
from this we just had a lovely time.
