MaXOn Catches
Monster Trout

Sunday while Clark Maxon. one of
our genial BARRIERS, was angling in the
Gunnison near the city of the same
name, he felt a Juggling at his line
that attracted more than passing at
tention. On pulling out the hook he
found a trout that looked more like
a whale than anything he had encoun-
tered for long time. After landing
it on the bank it escaped from the
hook several times. but was finally
put in the basket for safe keeping.
Some of the baseball boys who were
along became quite excited over the
catch, Gene kersten declaring that the
best way to hold him was with lariat
while Max Addington was strong in
the assertion that a ball nit was the
only sure way to stop him.
The fish weighed 5 pounds and
measured 26 inches from tip to tip
Chat is from the tip of his nose to the
tip of his taiD and is the largest
caught out of the river this year He
was taken to Gunnison where he at
tracted considerable attention.
Maron is very proud of his catch
and likewise the other members OF
tho party are highly elated over being
on hand when the monster was caught.

Bennie,. aged ten, accompanied by
the Misses Obergfell were returning
from visit to their former home near
Pueblo. The elder of the girls, lone,
was driving. While there were no
other witnesses of the unfortunate af-
fair, it is understood from Miss lone
that in making the raise over a grade
she attempted to throw on the low
gear, which stuck and caused her to
temporarily lose control of the ma
chine The road at this point is very
narrow and almost instantly the car
plunged over a thirty foot bank, across
the railroad track and into forty feet
of water.
Nearly all the occupants of the car
were carried into the river, but man.

that if the car be raised with graphing

aid.
The party came to Delta Tuesday
afternoon on the passenger, and was
taken TO the local hospital
Physicians who have the patients in
charge state that they all have a
chance for recovery, although in Mr..
Cline's case it is difficult to estimate
what the result of the shock may have
upon his condition.
