 KLONDLKE OF BAR FISH
Strange Striped Finny Tribe in Schools of Thousands

hard for those fellows to believe who were not there to witness it. A snake vas wiggling his way to a nearby small island in the middle of this lake. when attacked by large numbers of these fish. They persisted in slapping his wiggling form so often and with such force that in very short time a Knockout blow was administered, and his snakeship was forced to abandon his objective.
 There is another species of fish that abound in those waters. known as the size fer perch and are highly prized Tor the splendid quality of their flesh. They are a very timid fish, and never offer any resistance. It is necessary to fish very deep and be very careful in land- ing as their mouth is very tender and will pull out if jerked suddenly.
 Those who delight in going after the finny tribe in that section, prepare places of safety that these fish may hide from the bar fish, which is a mortal enemy or this species. Along the banks of these lakes there are large willow trees. These are cut so as to throw the tops well out in the water and in these tree tops the fish hide, and these are always there in large numbers.
 The streams and lakes of that country abound in alligators While fishing these sliny fellows will crawl along the banks cautiously and eye you suspiciously. The least move will cause him to make off into the water, and if you will watch to- ward mid-stream you will soon see some- thing that resembles q walnut floating on the surface of the water This is the
 gators eye, and it is great sport for those who can hit with a rifle to use that as a target

The game had every semblance of pitching duel, and but for the numerous pebbles and errors on beth sides would have probably gone into extra innings.
 Both Bevy and Stevens pitched in splendid fashion. Levy, in the box for Central, allowed but six hits Stevens was touched safely only five times. Each man whiffed seven opposing batters.
 All the scoring was done in the sixth inning Up to that time only one man had gotten as far as third base Neither side had threatened to score

Falkville. April 3-In northern Louisiana
 there Is a lake called Lake Loui. This
 lake is twelve miles long and one-half
 mile wide. It is on the New Orleans
 and Northeastern Railroad. There is a species of fish which inhabit these wa-
 ters known as the bar fish They get their name from the well-dehned black bars running parallel with the body from gill to tail fin, about one-half inch wide. They go in schools of thousands and once among them there is fishing to the hearts content.
 It is not an unusual thing to see an acre of water lashed to a white foam when they are feeding. The onise made by a school of these fish can be heard for ping the water with their tails which corresponds identically with the noise made by slapping the surface of the water with a board. 4T They resemble the mountain trout which abounds in the streams of this country, with the exception that these have the ble ok bars mentioned.
 These fish are never tempted with bait, | pstead a troll of some kind used. They will strike at anything moving 1t has been my custom for several years to make a visit to this section of country l and a camp fish is the one feature Of the | trip.
 HEAR NOISE OF FISH l On my last visit to this place had the l luck of my life. We were in a motor boat | and were attracted by the noise made by | a school of these fish, and headed in that direction. We got near enough to see that | big things were soon to take place. | Anchoring the boat near the shore, we made ready with troll to land them My companion being a resident of that sec | ton of country and an old fisherman, di- rected the preparations. A gunny sack was attached to each end of the boat, and we waited our time, which was but | few moments
 1 Casting among them we began to haul | in and take off until we had each caught | large sack about half full of these 1 splendid fellows, wMghing from pound | to two pounds and half

 THEY BITE AT KEY | began to cast key and hook out and caught them just as readily as with the | troll.
