L. A. Walker and Henry Sauer
had a peculiar experience last
Sunday morning while fishing near
diamond bay, at the head of Sank
lake. While rowing along they saw
something thai greatly resembled
a fish lying Oh the weeds. Upon
closer investigation they found a
large sucker summing itself while
reposing gently upon its bed of
foliage, which is very thick in
that neighborhood owing to the
low level of the lake. They rowed
over closer but Mr.. Fish gently
slid from his soft bed to the green
waters of the lake, thereby escap-
ing the eventual ending of most
flsh. Believe it or not, nevertheless
TINS story was given to us as a fact.
We do not know whether the GEN
tlemen in question have a fisher
mans liar license but we do
know that they caught a nice
string of bass and pickerel that
day.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. J. Weisner
and daughter, Mrs. Victor FLYNN.
returned to Sauk Centre Sunday
evening after having spent week
with relatives and friends at Owa-
tonna. While away they attended
the Steele County Fair at Owa-
tonna. This fair this year expert
mented with. a free gate aimis>
sion. In former years the paid ad-
missions ran about 10000 in
good years. This year the at
tendance reached 71,000. The cash
customer saved 25 cents over pre-
vious years because there was a
charge of TX canfc Rn
cents for bleachers and 25 cents
for autos. High fences had been
erected which necessitated seats in
the grand stand or bleachers to
enjoy the free attractions. If one
wished only to see the exhibits they
could inspect them without charge. |
The fair officials have started
something which officers of other
county fairs will study with in
berest.
