kins, George G. Harvey and son,
went to Open lake Tuesday for days
outing Many parties have gone
from Covington to the lakes and
rivers in this vicinity this summer to
try their skill with the rod, but the
story in regard to this particular
party begins when Mr.. Jamison sue
ceeded in landing a trout which would
weigh three and One-haf pounds, ac-
cording to an estimate Of Mr.. Muir
ply, who is a fisherman Of quite a
bit of experience.
Mr.. Jameson, naturally proud of
his catch, was not quite satisfied with
the estimate placed on his catch by
Mr. Murphy, though the others in the
party agreed that the trout would not
weigh mere than 1.-THE estimate of
three and one-half pounds, and on
reaching home placed the fish on his
scales and it tipped the beam at
full four pounds. Mr.. Jameson is
now busy correcting the report as to
the weight Of his catch, which is be-
lieved to equal any caught in Open
