II Is said that there is thrill which
comes to the fisherman as he LANDS a
Dig trout or salmon that words cannot
adequately describe and which must
pe 1eit to be appreciated, but if the
thrill is anything like that which came
70 one of Augustus disciples Of Ike
walton one day last week while on a
hsnlng trip up country the most Of
us would be willing to accept anything
IN the way of a description and let it
go at that. The one who felt the thrill
IS no ordinary man, inasmuch as he
holos the high position of county Of
nclai, and at the time he felt it he was
enjoying his annual spring fishing
trip following the close Of the April
term CT court. He and his son, togeth-
er with their guide, were in camp on
the shore Of one Of Names hundreds
OF lakes, and late one afternoon they
TOOK their Old Town canoe and went
out after salmon. 1t was not long aft
er that the son had a strike and as the
salmon broke water the party in the
canoe saw that he was a big one. No
fish was ever more carefully played
than was that salmon and when after
game fight the fish was brought
alongside the canoe the father was
ready with the dip net to secure the
prize. It was there that the thrill was
felt, for the father was little eScit-
ed and as he hurriedly swept the net
under the big fish the hooks caught in
the edge of the net and the fish Topped
out. Thinking that he had lost the fish
the father made a wild grab at it and
over went the canoe, dumping the
three men into the water. The father
went head first and says that he thinks
he went clear to the bottom before he
made the return trip to the surface.
Another boat was nearby and with
the assistance of its occupants the
three unfortunates together with their
canoe succeeded in getting ashore, to-
getker1 with their fish. although the
fishing tackle went to the bottom of
the pond. The three water-soaked dsh-
