Thousands OF
Fish Taken Al
Crystal Lake


Thousands OF bullheads are being
caught in Crystal lake, located be
tween Prairie du Sac and Lodi
For a number of years the lake
was closed and the fish have null
tiplied so that great schools float
about. Two Reedsburg fishermen
do ,ug the past few days caught 400
each and others avidiously as
many. The fish bite SO ayaiciously
that the use of worms as bait was
abandoned by one Walton and in
lieu of the wriggling little animals
he put on a piece Of tough pork
rind. After that he lost no time
and outdistanced all other anglers.
Crystal lake is partly in Dane
county and partly in Columbia
county. On the bank of this lake
lived the late Leander S. Drew
who grew and distilled the oil of
NORWOOD. The farm is now oc-
cupied by t. a Cannon and fam
lily. Mrs. Cannon will be remem~
bered in Baraboo as Mary (Mamie)
Blake, daughter of the late Mr.
and Mrs Chauncey NJ. Blake.
On the Cannon farm are a num-
Der of Indian mounds and the re-
mains of village sites.

An other offering on the bill that deserves special mention is the act Of fowens and Campbell and their Golden Gate orchestra. The first named are about as nifty a dancing team as any one would care to see. Their routine includes aCrobatic, whirlwind and an Apache dance that is wonderfully well done. The other acts include The Fanderbits in an offering entitled Rehearsing for the Millionajres' Ball." which is their own conception l of presenting a gymnastic offering: Robinson and Pierce offer a great ! skit, No More Saloons" a bit Of fun and song: and Larry Reilly and | his players were well received in "Tbe | End of the Road" bit or Killarney 1 with Mir.
