WARRIOR GOLDFISH
DIES OF HIS WOUNDS
Fought Alone and Valiantly Against
"Allies" in White
House Lagoon.

After one of the gamest fights ever
put up by the fnny tribe, the hero OF
the goldfish basin at the east entrance
of the White House died in the lagoon
in Mrs Wilson's private garden a day
or two ago.
The warrior fish was evidently en-
We'd for his size and lustrous coat OF
mail by his companions, for they at
tackled him early one morning last
week, and Policemen J. s. Jamison and
Horne of the inside force, who were
entering the White House grounds
saw the water seething and foaming
as the fish lashed it into soapsuds.
They watched the battle royal for
some time. dozens of fish making a
ferocious attack on one. 1t looked like
victory for the allies when their
victim suddenly darted from their
midst and made a beeline for the two
officers.
He is too game to die" said Jami-
son, thrusting his arm down into the
BASIN and with not the slightest re-
sistance, the fish lay gasping in his
hand He carried the damaged hero
into the White House grounds and de-
posted him in the pond of Mrs Will
sons private garden, where he was
visited by many admirers until his
death.
