NICE BLUEFlSH CATCH
OREGON INLET BEACH

Nine massive bluefish, ranging
in size from two pounds to just
above three pounds, struck at mid
night Wednesday about mile be-
low Oregon Inlet and just abreast
Oregon Inlet Coast Guard Station
and BMC Woodrow Wilson Ed
wards and EN1c Selby Gaskins
were, waiting for them there with
some hooks baited with freshly
cut mullet. The moon had just
passed its fullness, if maybe that
had something to do with it.
Chief Edwards brought his fish
to Manteo early Thursday to have
their photographs made and then
set out for home with his catch
still intact, being assured by the
members of the crew of his sta
ton that if he let so much as one
scale of them stray off ne had
as we'll not come back across the
inlet. The idea was that maybe
they would cut him up and use
him for bait or something.
Bluefish of this size have be-
come sort of rarity on the At
lantic Coast, anyhow from the
surf-caster's viewpoint. Chief Ed
wards and Engineman Gaskins
tried out their store-bought lures
at first and when the blues ignor-
ed these, they got them a mullet
and cut it up. Then the blues
started biting-and the fishermen
hope that they are but the first
of millions-and that they will get
even bigger. But a three-pounder
gives man a considerable set-to.

WOMAN WINS MAYOR'SRACE
AT KILL DEVIL HILLS BUT
FINDS TOWN VOTED AWAY
1t Was A Mighty Hot Campaign tuesday But
People Show What They Can Do When They
Get Ried Up; Mayor Is Elected and Town AboI-
ished by Small MARGINS

Mrs. Emily F. Mustian won her
race for Mayor of Kill Devil Hills
by a close margin over incumbent,
Major j. L. Murphy Tuesday dur
ing a mighty hot election, but
when the ballots were counted, she
found the some voters had voted
the town out of business. 1t was an
empty victory.
By vote of 60 to sc, Mrs. Mus
tan won, but by a vote of 76 to
70 the election did away with the
town charter which was granted
March 6, 1868.
Of the 1853 registered voters on
the books 146 voted. In the midst
of hot and heavy objections from
both sides, the registration books
were combed for several days to
challenge voters who had moved
into the community patiently to
vote on the issue. This was OBJ
viously done by supporters of both
sides.
1t was the first election the town
had held. The officers had been
elected by the county commits
sioners, nearly two years ago.
There seemed to be no one who
was willing to be Mayor. Finally
Capt. w. H. Lewark submitted the
name of ]. L. Murphy to the Coun-
ty Board, along with a slate of
Aldermen, and they were appoint
ed.
During it's brief career as a mum
icipality, some gains were made.
The town got aid for streets from
the state in the amount of $11,859.
Sc. 1t also received a total of
