COlumbians Bring
Back Fislly. Story
From Florida Coast

OF all the "fishy" stories we have
heard the one brought back from
Florida by two Columbians, Hon. s,
B. Johnston and Mr.. NJ. V. Friday, is
the fishiest.
But, they brought back the prof
Of the pudding in the form of the low
err jaw bone of one whale Of fish,
and it looks more like the jaw bone
of Mississippi politician than that
of real fish.
Mr.. Johnston and Mr.. Friday had
some real sport during their three
months stay in Florida. In addition
to the hading of the largest Black
fish caught off the Florida coast in
many years they bagged huge wild
cat.
The cat was brought down b. Mr..
Johnston and he ran upon it acci-
dentally. He was not hunting par
ticularly for big game. The cat was
a magnificent beast and he brought
it's skin home to be cured.
Now back to the fish. 1t is said
to have weighed between 1900 and
1000 pounds, and to have been Is feet
long. Somebody has said that when
a fish gets over hundred pounds
in weight, he is no longer fish, but
fiction. He is an optical Illusion when
caught, and fiction when referred to
later on.
But, Mr.. Friday and Mr.. Johnston
took the precaution to bring the jaw
bone of the monster back with them,
and it was being displayed uptown
Thursday by Mr.. Friday. They had a
wonderful experience in landing the
fish, the big fellow having given them
a run for their money. A black fish
Is d rare catch off the Gulf coast, and
the feat of landing big one puts Mr..
Friday aud Mr.. Johnston in class as
masters Of the piscatorial art.
