Was Excited Over A Trout

WAS EXCITED

                  OVER A TROUT

LESTER CANFIELD INTO A DEEP HOLE.

HIS PARTY REPORTS A CATCH OF 240 FISH.

  W.E. Rodgers, of Aplena, and a party of other gentlemen from Ann Arbor viz: Lester Canfield, J.A. Gwinner, A.J. Lohr and Robt. Rayer, came down from Alpena Friday for a fishing trip to the streams in the vicinity of the Lavier settlement. It was the first time either of the gentlemen from the university town had ever tried his skill on the speckled beauties and this being the case, we can safely believe that they are free from the pernicious habit usually accredited to professional fisher-men, of careless handling of the truth. They report a catch of 240 (whew! shallow hard) trout. The party stayed with Dan Lavier and spoke highly of his entertainment.

  There were no accidents on the trip except that Mr. Canfield, whose avoir-dupois runs up in the neighborhood of 225, became excited at the sight of a 3-pound trout in a deep hole and plunged in after it. He was rescued all right, but his friends in Ann Arbor are ad-vised not to mention the matter to him when he arrives home- Alpena Review.
