which" says Long Cast Jake, ~
he watched the extraordinary display
of big trout in Paul schulz's window.
I'm fishin' in Thompson's Lakes in
the fall of 's5, and I'm usin' sad
die horse to pull 'em out. They amt
NO flies and fancy reels and things
in them days. so we fellers jest rides
down to the lakes when we wants fish
and ropes 'em.
you see, the fish in them waters
is big and they bankers all the time
for good sized bait, the rockin' birds
and sea gulls that flies around the
lakes bein' their speciality. When .
careless mockin' bird or gull flies too
low over the water he's almost got
insurance that one of them big man
eatin' trouts is goin' up in the air
and get him. Many's the time I've
caught in the overhanging branches
they died O. thirst. The Bullhead
always got their dried fish for the
jumpin' into trees.
well, as I'm startin' to relate, I'm
ropin' fish down there the fall of 'S6,
and sea gull scoots right by where
I'm straddle o. my rope horse. He
ducks down clost to the water and
the most preposterous trout I ever
seen makes the Jump for him. As he
does, my rope circles and lands fair
and square so that tightens up with
the loop Jest under his gills. Then
we starts inland, but we don't go no.
where and pretty POGO notices we're
backin' up. It's jest then that l be-
gins feedin' the steel to that bronze
and he humps his back and digs in,
but he's drawed out on; he can't
make her. A minute more and he's
over the bank, with that riata tied
firm to the horn, and I'm layin'
alongside that same bank watchiu'
the best rope horse that was ever
trained to catch fish movin' out sea-
wards at somethin' like forty-four
knots and a half a minute. That's
the last ever sees of him, for when
the sovereign Of all trouts reaches
deep water he Jest naturally sinks
with him and fiEgers it out that he
becomes food for the entire trout
settlement Of that country"
about two years later q trout at
tackled a steam boat on the Missouri
along about the Doughpan rapids,
which they shoots with cannon they
has aboard and he has a strand OF
rawhide rope hangin' in his gills
From the description Of the hondoo
I would say the rope were mine, and
this is the trout that drownded my
horse in Thompson's Lakes. Dusty
Miller figgers It out that this trout
must have portrayed acrost into st.
Mary's and was maxim for the Gulf.
Dan Kennedy contends there might
be some underground currents BE-
tween the lakes, but DUSTY" stands

SUPREME COURT ANNOUNCES
HIS EARLY RETIREMENT.

Succeed Himself, ON Account Of
Poor Health; Served ~ Chief

Quarter Of . Century.

That information was conveyed in q

With the completion of his term In

Deer Lodge where he practiced law,
later being elected district Judge Of
Powell and Deer Lodge counties. in
which capacity he served for nearly
eight years, giving him service of
almost 80 years continuous service
on the district and supreme court
