The Bellevue Herald says that a
freak fish caught by G. Putnam, Otto !
Weinlader and Fred Keil, local fisher
men, has been quite an attraction at
the RagatZ drug store where it was |
taken by Mrs. Weinlader. The fish is
of the carp species and the head and |
body are normal, but it has no tail and
looks as though it had been cut in two.
Instead of tail the back fin runs all |
the way around the body to the
stomach. The fish is about four and |
one half inches wide and seven inches |
long. 1t was in a lively condition
when brought to the drug store and
the fact that it was covered with a
full set of scales indicates it was in
jured in the spawn.
They still try to get away with it!
