Council reports So traffic deaths
occurred in the state during
May, eight more than were re-
cord e d in May of last year.
Thurston County listed one
death during May.
The Patrol warned motorists
that the chances of having an
accident will be increased sub
stantially during the summer
months as holiday traffic in
creases. He noted that vehicle
travel in the state had already
increased by 20 percent during
the first three months of this
year. Speed failure to yield the
right of way, and driving while
intoxicated are most likely to be
the cause of summer accident,
according to the Patrol.

35OLB SHARK CAUGHT BY OLD FACTORY
BRIDGE WITH 8" HOOK & NYLON ROPE

Yesterday, Eroy Harrison,1 Roland Johnson and
Ralph Herbert caught an 8 foot 2 inch shark by Old
Central Factory Bridge in Richmond.
The men had seen the shark swimming around in
that area and had become determined to catch it, which
they did. They used a nylon rope and an eight inch
hook baited with a tempting blue fish.
The $50 pound shark, tannish in color, swallowed
the bait and the battle to land the giant fish commenced.
It wasn't an easy battle and total victory over the
mammal took about thirty exhausting minutes.
Harrison, who is 20 years old, said that the shark
was carrying 13 young sharks when she was caught.
When asked what he was going to do with his
catch, Harrison said he was going to give it away.
