Fish Are Biting
at Lincoln Lagoon
All City's Boats Rented to, Fishermen
at Park Before z O'clock
This Morning.

Disciples of Isaac Walton were out
in force this morning at Lincoln park
lagoon with the opening of the fish
ing season there this morning. The
Season will remain open there until
next Sunday night.
All twelve of the city's boats had
been rented by fishermen before a.
m. and hurry call for more "bot-
toms" was awaiting~F. A. Carlson, di-
rector of parks, when he arrived at
his Office at the city hall an hour lat
er. The, director, however, was
forced to send back word that that's
all there is-there amt no more"
The limit of a dozen fish per per-
son, which has been set by the park
department, was filled by the first
angler in less than 80 minutes. The
catch consisted of large bullheads.
No fishing will be allowed from the
bridge, due to the fact that it is a
foot bridge and that it is not built to
carry too great weight. No fishing
is to be allowed from the banks. The
east bank, Mr.. Carlson said, is what
was formerly the bed of Jerome creek
and is very deep in spots. 1t is fear
ed that children might attempt to fish
from the bank and fall in. The boats,
however, will accommodate from four
to six fishermen each. Boat permits
may be obtained from Frank Boun-
sail, in charge of the park concession,
it was stated.

DISHES FCR. THE SUMMER
HOME

Owners Of country cottages or
bungalows are now getting them
in order for the season. 1t Is al
ways rather depressing to enter
one of these shut-up dwellings and
mark the damage or deterioration
of the winter. In our climate moth
and rust do corrupt, all right, even
if thieves do not break through
and steal.
When it comes to going over the
kitchen equipment, lucky is the
housewife who left enameled ware
to face the winters damp. No
rusted-out kettles or saucepans for
her! If she is getting ready for
tenants, she will secure their graf
itude by seeing that they are well
provided with this easily cleaned
ware. Also it will be an economy
to include plates, cups and saucers
of enameled ware for everyday or
picnic use, as ordinary china fares
i'll when people are vacationing.

From There with a Sheet
Over His Head

John Putt, who was struck by an
automobile on Memorial Day near St.
Georges cemetery while about to visit
the grave of his wife and who has
been lying at the point of death at
St. GATHERINGS hospital for weeks, be-
came an exceedingly active ghost this
morning. Doubtless Putt thought that
if he ever was going to be a ghost he
might as well enjoy the sensations of
that state while there was yet some
life left in him.
A woman who lives at 358 Middle
street, was startled and Mortified be-
fore five o'clock this morning when a
strange figure clad only in a sheet
appeared in the street and about to
enter her yard. The woman gardener
who was out attending to the growing
things in the yard, screamed and
dropping her hoe and sprinkling can,
ran fearfully to the house.
Run for Tony Borden.
The husband, as excited as his wife,
ran all the way to officer Anton Bor-
den's house to summon the policeman.
Officer Borden dressed himself hastily
and ran for Box 81 where he sent in a
call for the ambulance
The "ghost squad" of the police de-
partment gave way to the motorcycle
patrol when spring came, so it was
Officers L. Bauschelt and Pecan Of the
ambulance squad who were sent out
by Sergeant Schneeberger to catch the
ghost. John Putt was captured, sheet
and all, and given ride in the ambul-
ance back to st. GATHERINGS hospital.
Not So Demented After ALI.
Physicians attending Putt, who sus-
tanned fracture at the base of the
skull following the Memorial Day
accident, were, surprised when he man
aged to live on. 1t was believed how
ever, that he would never recover the
use of his mind, as he lay in delerium
on his hospital cot. It was necessary
to use leather hobbies around his
ankles to restrain him from leaping
from his bed.
1t was learned by the police this
morning that Putt had gone to
lengths to achieve his liberty from
the sick bed which had become irk-
ONE and boring to- him.
He had taken his drinking glass,
and carefully wrapping it in towel
in order not to disturb the nurses
or make any noise that would attract
their attention, and then smashed the
glass on his iron bed.

his ankles, and taking the sheet for
