Star-Mirror: One Of the most re-
markable fishing stories is being
told this morning by Mr.. Creighton
and Mr.. Pickett, who returned last
evening from fishing and hunting
trip.
1t seems as the story goes that
they were out trawIing in deep
water; the lake was very rough
and choppy and 1t was with Difficult.
ty they landed "whopper, just
one OF the biggest ever pulled out OF
the lake, and now comes the strang.
est coincidence that ever came to
the attention of the writer.
In cleaning this big fish an ole
Waterbury watch that Mr.. Pickett
accidently dropped in the lake some
six years ago, was found imbeddee
in the fish, close to the first verte
brae and the right lung, the watct
was still going and had only los
eight minutes in the six years. L
is supposed that the breathing O.
the fish had kept the watch woun(
up during all this time. Tha
these we'll known hunters were sue
cessful is evidenced by the fish ant
ducks they brought with them.
