SEVEN POUND BASS
 DAYS PRIZE CATCH
Joseph Crandall Hooks Beauty on Fishing Trip to Webster
 Lake
Extra Precautions Are Taken to Pre-
 vent Theft of Fish

Look what l caught. Just look . Who said couldn't catch fsh?" These words rang out loud and clear 10 a large gathering of campers and picnickers at Bates Grove last Sat. urday in the late afternoon. The speaker was Joseph Cranjall, the well known electrician and amateur fisher man of North Grosvenordale. In his right hand extended aloft, he was holding an unusually large and pretty black bass.
 The gathering surrounded the en- viable Joe, all eager to catch a glimpse of the largest fish ever caught in Lake Chargoggagoggmanehaugagogg- chauhunagungamau The fish was plump and almost as long as the name of the lake in which it was caught. Af- ter the fishing party, which consisted of Joseph Crandall, George Carlson, George Whitney and William Allen. had reached home. the word was fash ed around that the fish tipped the scales at seven pounds. Some doubt iUlS, put Joe lS Suit At was NNtftSA
 Ancient Feud'' Reopened
 The fish incident reopened the long standing feud between Mir. Grandall and George Carlson. Ever since Jos Crandall stole Mir. Carlson's rooster. George has been waiting for chance to get even. Last Saturday evening Joe saw George pass his home two or three times, and he became a little suspicious, and decided to play safe
 At any rate the following came to light Sunday morning. When Joe was ready to 90 10 bed, he fastened the windows and bolted the doors. Then he put his prize bass in a strong dove-tailed box and locked t. and last of all put a paddock at the rear of the box so that the hinges eauld not be taken off. From the paddock he tied a string and just before retiring tied the other end of the string onto his big toe. Nothing happened during the night, but Joe says he thinks he heard someone outside. and is wondering if George slept any that night, or not
