Bass Season
Opened With
Tragedy
Accident On Fairy
Lake Averted On
Opening Day
MANY ON SAUK LAKE
Pan Fish Biting
Swell and Many
Fine Strings Taken

A Sank Centre man probably ow-
ed his life this week to the shouts
Of nearby fisherman and a stop
ped motor when his boat capsized
on Fairy Lake last Friday evening
as the first weekend of the bass
and pan fish season opeend in the
northern zone.
The man is Ernie Reznecheck
who was pulled from the lake
floundering about his boat. His
rescuers were Al Liebel, Herb Sac
ger and Jim Morgan, who arrived
on the scene.
The trio of rescuers were attract
ed to his plight by the shouts Of
L. o. Gray, who was fishing some
distance away. The three had been
fishing with a motor, had shut the
motor off for a minute. Liebel
said, II thought had heard some
shouts" A few minutes before
they had passed Reznecheck while
they were trolling.
Meanwhile resortmen, with a
report that gave Sank Lake its
best day Of the current season,
summed up the weekend's fish
ing with, They're biting swell"
Sunday, in spite of dark skies
that finally brought half inch
of rain, not a boat or a cottage
was available on Sank Lake.
Lower Sank Lake was a maze
of boats with resort operators re-
porting every boat available under
hire. The upper lake too particu-
larly about Diamond Point was dot
ted with fishermen.
George Simmer reported that
fourteen boats out of his resort
Sunday morning returned with
limits in each. Pointing out that
most of the people were from St.
Paul, Eden Valley and other out
of-town points Mr. Simmer said
they'd have real tales to take home.
He reported some bass catches
with prizes up to five pounds.
H. G. Lembke, up at the Mar
rows, found the day to capacity.
Friday through Sunday were three
good days he pointed out. Bass
were DltlHS SOOu, pan ISL excel
lent. PLENTY of sunfish taken"
was his comment, land nice big
fellows"
A six and one-half pound black
bass, caught in the southern zone
near here, was reported locally as
the best of the bass catches. But
Carl Perry and Gene Harvey
brought in an opening day catch
from Swan Lake that brought one
Of the biggest with a Az pound
bass in string of II.
AL Liebel, Jim Morgan, Herb Sac
ger got four out Of Fairy Lake
with the largest approaching AZ
pounds. Dozens over the weekend
got limits of sunfish and crappies
from Sank and other lakes near
here.
L. o. Gray was a lucky fisher
man Sunday when he landed a
Great Northern pike, which weigh
ed II pounds and 1874 ounces. L.
o. caught this dandy fish in Fairy
Lake.

Chairman Herbert Hyde of the
committee announced that approx

were turned over to drafting ex-

to be submitted to the full conven-

not available tonight.
ALT M. Landon, the 1896 stand

presidential nominee to meet tht
challenge of developing world con

Landon asserted that there was
no objection in the full committee
to the part of the plank dealing
with policy but that one member
had protested "a very minor point
relating to a statement about the
cost of the World war to the Unit
err States.
The plank was understood to
contain a statement that: 1.-THE
Republican party stands for Amer
icanism, preparedness and peace y
This was understood to have
been followed by a statement that
the Democratic party stands for
unpreparedness and tactics threat
ening toward war.
In it's other phases, the plank
was said by informed persons to
include a provision for defending
the Monroe doctrine.
